Saving Grace, my first novel, a southern gothic, was a Most Anticipated Thriller and a Best of 2021 debut. The book has received wonderful reviews and launched in trade paperback June 28. My second novel, First Victim, is a Buzz Book of 2022 and has also received acclaim from authors like Michael Connelly, who called First Victim “a first-rate legal thriller…a winner,” Lisa Gardner, Jeffery Deaver, and others. The Corner Bookstore on Manhattan’s Upper East Side hosted my First Victim launch event on June 28. I have been doing both virtual and in-person events all over New York and Florida. Upcoming events include: Participating in Authors Night on August 13, the premier event of the Hamptons season and speaking at Palm Beach’s famed Society of Four Arts fall/winter 2023. I have been interviewed by various publications and have written articles for CrimeReads and other mystery/suspense magazines.
