The Memoir
My Tiny Monster
At the start of 2020, Liam was on top of the world. With a thriving new business and newfound independence, he launched his dream of traveling the globe solo. But as Covid-19 spread, quarantine in Sydney with a charismatic stranger erupted into psychological warfare. My Tiny Monster examines how the tiniest threats—from viruses to jellyfish to little white lies—can shatter our carefully constructed worlds. My Tiny Monster blends psychological suspense with a raw exploration of survival during humanity’s most isolating modern moment. It puts LGBTQ+ domestic violence under the microscope, examining it through the lens of the unresolved trauma still lingering from the Covid-19 epidemic.
Currently, the manuscript is being refined through a self-directed MFA program, and is slated for completion in 2026.
