📘 Comings and Goings: The Art of Being Seen just cracked the Top 100 in 90-Minute Teen & Young Adult Short Reads on Kindle, and I’m quietly moved by it.
Set in Boston, 1984—one year after Jim Garraty said goodbye to Marty at commencement—this isn’t a story about first love. It’s about the first time you didn’t have to explain yourself. One night. One unexpected party. One girl who saw without pressing. Over cassette tapes, shared silences, and Rachmaninoff-laced conversation, Comings and Goings captures a different kind of intimacy: patient, unscripted, and quietly transformative.
If it’s found its way into your hands—thank you. And if not, maybe now’s a good time to remember what it feels like to be seen.

Of course, that was last night. Now I’m no longer in the Top 100. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.
