Welcome to OGTR Press. This page is dedicated to the publication process for all of my stories. I do not accept manuscripts for publication.

Disposable is my debut novel. It deals with difficult subject matter.

About the book: Lilah Black has spent her young life shrinking in the shadow of a dead older brother—painfully aware of how unwanted she's always been, and tormented by a shame she could never quite shake. But when she finally steps into the light, starts questioning everything she's been told, and unearths the self she'd learned to deny, everything changes.

Disposable is the story of hat awakening: of surviving a world that condoned abuse and called her less, of struggling under the invisible weapon of shame—and discovering that her hidden self may be the only key to real freedom. Darkly humorous and quietly ferocious, this literary debut shreds the lies of more than one dysfunctional family, challenges the authority of superficial faith, and upends the rules of belonging, all while clinging to the wild tenacity of hope.

For readers who loved the unflinching honesty of Douglas Stuart and the charged intimacy of Sally Rooney, Disposable is a rare, radiant portrait of resilience—and of the crooked, beautiful path to survival.
