Pier 45 is available for pre-order now. Coming September 4, 2026 from JournalStone Publishing.

"An impactful, unforgettable read." -- Independent Book Review

When a drag queen rescues a teenage hustler in 1981 New York City, it ignites a decade-long saga of heroin, AIDS, murder, and supernatural reckoning—told by a child of Holocaust survivors who carries the dead on his tattooed arm and who is learning that just surviving isn’t always enough.

"Pier 45 is a powerful, moving, important novel. 10/10." - Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker Award Finalist
