Mona Kitt has it all. A high-powered job at Kline Turner Solutions. Expensive taste. A revolving door of suitors. And…the ability to see the future.

This has, of course, afforded her the luxury of staying three steps ahead of everyone around her. She sees future lovers, future opportunities, and future scandals to use as blackmail fodder. But unfortunately for Mona, she also sees Death, and she's in a race against time to save her soul. Can Mona confront her past to change her future?

This novella is the sequel to 2023’s How to Be A Better Adult!

Genre: Dark comedy & Afro-surrealism with a bit of romance. For fans of Atlanta, Severence, and Sorry to Bother You.

“adding magic to the mundane” with each strange book I write!

As a woman who suffers from depression and social anxiety, I’ve made it my mission to candidly share my experiences with the hopes of helping others dealing with the same. This extends into my fiction work, where I pen tales about woeful women trying their best, with a surrealist, magical touch. Inspired by surrealist authors like Haruki Murakami, Sayaka Murata, and Lemony Snicket, my stories are dark and humorous with a hint…well, a bunch…of absurdity.

Are you a woeful woman who loves cartoons, pop culture, and chatting about feelings? Or…maybe you just want project + life updates? Join my personal Sadgurlz Club, erm, my newsletter, that's really a diary, where I chat about fiction, fashion, and feelings. Heavy on the feelings. Diary entries are sent out weekly.
