Pro-God. Pro-sex. All awkward.

When her parents find a mystery dick pic on her phone, reluctant good girl Maura Baker is sentenced to a week at her church’s all-about-sex summer camp, where a growing relationship with her disarmingly gorgeous but offputtingly earnest co-counselor leads her to question: Are sex and God mutually exclusive, or are they part of the same truth – love?

Sex Camp is a humorous, contemporary YA novel complete at 90,000 words. It previously won the SCBWI-Austin Cynthia Leitich Smith Writing Award Mentorship, nominated by Elana K. Arnold. It also inspired Spinning, micro-fiction published in Ignite the Spark, Vol. 2 by SCBWI-Carolinas, and was adapted into a live performance piece, The Sex Thermometer, which will debut at Davidson Community Players' Armour After Dark: Hot Summer Night in July, 2026, performed by author Aimee Thomas.
