"Lovely writing, highly charged emotions, satisfying read."
School Library Journal.
I won't cry. Like an idiot baby.
So hot. Black sweat down my back. Don't melt my dress.
I feel the warmth rising. the ghosts of the forest
steaming the air.
It's been three years since Memphis disappeared.
Excerpt from
GOTHIC LOLITA.
I illustrated my last three books with drawings and photographs. For Gothic Lolita, I recreated Tokyo in the streets of Manhattan and cast dozens of people of many ages and nationalities. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait to cast the next book. I like to create a Utopia and then document it.
