novel In Progress

Sam in Pieces

Sam Cooper has a plan. Wake up. Take his pills. Write in his journal. Keep everyone exactly three meters away. After years of addiction, loss, and a past he's still learning the shape of, the plan is the only thing between him and the bottom. Until he sees Julia playing her guitar like an extension of herself, and Sam’s plan starts to crack.

Sam in Pieces is a novel about the long, non-linear work of recovery and what happens when you're finally brave enough to let people in before you're ready. Told through Sam's precise, guarded, deeply interior voice, it ollows three musicians as they fall into each other’s orbits, building something neither of them has a name for yet, but they all agree it’s home.
