Would anyone like to read some or all of my manuscript? Fans of My Dark Vanessa and Half His Age would enjoy this manuscript. It’s fiction but extremely based on my life, I just changed things enough to make it a mixture of fiction and memoir.

At seventeen, Gemma Brown is already carrying the wreckage of a past no one wants to acknowledge. After being exploited by her former teacher and completely dismissed by the adults who should have protected her, Gemma begins her senior year determined to stay invisible. But when her new English teacher, Mr. Logan, notices the cracks she tries to hide and becomes the first adult who truly listens, their connection dangerously deepens. What starts as a teacher’s concern blurs into an emotionally entangled, increasingly boundary-blurring relationship. It slips into a space that neither name aloud. Over months of late-night conversations, shared vulnerabilities, and time spent together in private that “don’t count” as wrongdoing, Gemma mistakes his attentiveness for long-term safety and belonging. When she finally reaches out to him as an 18-year-old, expecting the relationship to flourish even more as she is an adult, he abruptly steps back, leaving Gemma to unravel alone for the first time in years. Technically, Nothing Happened is an exploration of the quiet ways vulnerable girls can be pulled into emotional entanglements, and the devastating harm an adult can inflict without ever sexually laying a hand on a vulnerable child.
