Exploring the life of Belle Starr, a notorious Wild West outlaw, this docupoetic project delves into her privileged background, criminal exploits, and unsolved murder in 1889. The narrative examines the transformation of Belle into an anti-hero and media icon, highlighting the blurred lines between fact and fiction surrounding her story. Through documentary poetry and scratchboard illustrations, it addresses themes of identity, desire, and authenticity, while reflecting on the modern implications of media manipulation and public persona.

Exploring the interplay between luxury and utility, this collection features forty-four poems paired with twenty illustrations that delve into themes of interarts expression, the nature of time in abandoned spaces, and the complexities of queerness and love. The work blurs the lines between reality and imagination, inviting readers to reflect on the rich narrative potential of fabric as a metaphor for human experience.

Sister Holiday is back with a newly minted PI apprentice certificate, a twisty mystery to solve, and something to prove in this fast-paced, blistering follow-up to Scorched Grace. Tattooed from her neck to her toes and sporting a gold tooth as sharp as her wisecracks, Sister Holiday struggles to stay on the righteous path. Never one to make things easy for herself, she's committed to taking her permanent vows with the Sisters of the Sublime Blood and joining former fire inspector Magnolia Riveaux's latest venture, Redemption Detective Agency--both in service of satisfying her eternal quest for answers. When Sister Holiday and Riveaux set out to bust a philandering husband, they instead find the body of a priest floating in the swollen Mississippi River, and with it, Redemption's next case. It's significantly more gruesome than their original mission, but Sister Holiday feels called on by God to hunt down the murderer and keep her community safe. As a torrential rainstorm drowns New Orleans for three harrowing days over Easter weekend, Sister Holiday and Riveaux follow the clues. With the stakes rising alongside the relentless floodwaters, our favorite punk nun-sleuth throws herself into the deep end yet again. A lacerating and lyrical plunge into obsession, deception, and the questions that hold us captive, Blessed Water is a lights-out mystery that will leave you breathless.
