Everything I Didn't Know
She crossed an ocean to find where she came from. She found where she belonged.
Daisy Mercer has spent twenty-eight years being easy to love and easier to leave. Then a letter arrives from a woman she has never met, and it changes one word in the story of her life. Sister.
Daisy flies from Chicago to Inglewick, a small market town in the Yorkshire Dales, to meet Fern, the half-sister she never knew existed. She means to stay two weeks. She means to satisfy her curiosity and go home to her real life.
But Inglewick has other ideas. So does Fern. So does a whole town of people who seem determined to keep her in the room until she is all right again. And somewhere forty minutes away, behind a green door, is the woman who left them both, and the question Daisy crossed an ocean to ask.
Everything I Didn't Know is a novel about sisters, about being left, and about the people who stay. It is about finding home in the last place you would ever think to look.
The Masters Club
For anyone who’s ever had to start over.
When Nora signs up for a local Masters swim program, she’s just looking for a low-drama escape from the mess her life has quietly become. What she finds in Lane 4 is something else entirely: four wildly different women who dive headfirst into her world and refuse to let her sink.
Between early morning laps, late-night text threads, and a brooding coach who sees more in her than she sees in herself, Nora begins to piece herself back together one stroke at a time. But reinvention is never easy, and life has a way of testing even the strongest swimmers.
The Masters Club is a heartwarming, hilarious, and hopeful novel about friendship, second chances, and the deep end of reinvention. For anyone who’s ever felt like it’s too late to try again—it’s not.
Meet Olivia
I’ve written speeches, strategy decks, poems, and PTA newsletters—so of course I wrote a novel. Writing has always been the thread that held every stage of my life together. I published my first poem as a teenager, heart wide open on a printed page, and over the years, I’ve written articles, speeches, and strategic communications for boardrooms across industries. I’ve helped shape narratives for brands and leaders, giving voice to missions bigger than myself.
But this story? This one was just for me.
The Masters Club is a love letter to reinvention, real friendship, and finding your lane after life flips your goggles off. It’s a celebration of second chances and the women who help us take them.
So grab a coffee. Take a lap. And welcome to the club.
