Valley Girls

The secrets of Silicon Valley in book form.

Rising star Kelsey Pace has landed the role of a lifetime as communications manager for Elemynt, one of the world’s most popular social media apps. Not only is it the job she’s always dreamed of, but the workplace is a corporate fantasyland where free gourmet meals are available at the swipe of a badge and complimentary spa services are one building away.

What starts off for Kelsey as a series of positive public relations campaigns evolves into a whirlwind of defending the company against global scandals, scrutinizing media exposés, and raging battles between employees that spill into public view. The tangle of secrets she is tasked with hiding reveals to her the increasingly challenging personal and moral sacrifices she’ll have to make to keep the company on top.

Available in stores and online retailers, including Bookshop.

DO U.

In my debut novel, I present an unforgettable trio navigating life at a historically black college. DO U. is a fiercely funny and heart-wrenching tale about maintaining individuality in the face of repression.

Jason Cooper is a brilliant student whose flawless academic record is jeopardized by the tribulations of pledging a fraternity. His life is further complicated by his sudden and unexpected attraction to another male student, a secret he has no intention of disclosing to his devout Christian mother. 

Tyree Iversen is an out and proud gay man whose vivacity draws the ire of his peers and the university’s conservative administration. Tyree’s battles extend to his personal life, where his search for “the one” has come up disappointingly short. 

Cole Hill, a hotshot sprinter with a full scholarship, isn’t winning meets the way he once did. Instead of spending more time at practice like his track coach desperately wants him to, he shifts the responsibility to others. His apathy hasn’t gone unnoticed by his teammates or his loyal girlfriend.

The Digital Journalist’s Handbook

In 2012, a time when multimedia journalism was on the rise, I penned The Digital Journalist’s Handbook, a guide to the tools used to advance storytelling in digital newsrooms. The unique how-to book provides simple explanations of complex technologies and provides examples of how journalists can incorporate them into their stories and reporting.

Each chapter is dedicated to a different tool in the digital journalist's toolbox. The book includes a glossary with definitions of more than 130 technical terms and phrases commonly used in digital journalism and is fully illustrated with diagrams and guidelines.
