DUDE
Young Adult Fiction, 2017
While in high school, I was an active writer with the dream of someday publishing my own novel. DUDE was my first full length book which I wrote throughout the course of four years and finally published shortly after graduating high school in 2017. This fictional coming-of-age story shares how writing can become a reliable and sometimes toxic coping mechanism for dealing with real events. For the final cover, the two main protagonists of the story are featured in an original painting which has been digitally edited. It is currently out of print, but was available via digital marketplaces.
