Living the Dream: A Military Coming-of-Age Story


A coming-of-age novel about a young Black woman navigating war on multiple fronts, against the enemy, within her unit, and inside herself. Meet Mya Russell, who joined the Marine Corps because it offered something her home never did: safety.

From Brooklyn to Camp Lejeune to the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm, Mya's story is raw, uncompromising, and darkly funny.

Water, Motrin, and a Change of Socks


A memoir-in-fiction following Tiffany Addison, who enlists in the Marine Corps after the violent loss of her brother, trying to outrun anger. From Bed-Stuy to Parris Island, it's a story of grief, rage, control, and a system built to burn her out.

Raw, unflinching, and laced with sharp wit.
