Never Lost (a novel)

Coming in March 2027

Never Lost is the novel that I have lived my entire life to write. It is a book about connections, friendship, and unlikely events in our lives that shape them irrevocably. The book is mostly set in Morocco, in the southern coastal village of Sidi Ifni. It tracks the lives of two protagonists, Montana Jones and Brian Walker, as their interactions shape each other’s lives in surprising ways. Montana is a late-career American journalist whose familial and professional identities have imploded. She meets Brian, an ex-pat Brit who was born in the darkest moments of World War II England, at the Sunday souk in a remote fishing village “on the way to nowhere else.” As they trade stories of their lives while strolling the Matisse-bleached shores of North Africa, their past and present lives collide. To be published by Mission Point Press in March 2027.
