“Home in Capeside: Inside the Iconic Dawson’s Creek House” : encore magazine, Jan 2026

encore magazine offered me the rare opportunity to step inside the iconic Leery home from Dawson’s Creek and write about what it felt like to step into the past and inside my favorite television series. The article, paired with incredible Dawson’s Creek art by local artist Gia Marie, is available in print in encore’s latest issue. An online version will be added to encore’s website in May upon the release of their spring print issue.
