Yes, I loved THE BLUE HOUR -- a fine novel reminiscent off Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith.

It's Black Friday. You're shopping. You ARE allowed to treat yourself and preorder THE JACKAL'S MISTRESS -- on sale in barely three months now. I will admit: I'm really proud of this one. Thanks, friends!

Yes, NORTH WOODS is amazing.

This is an actual Civil War “invalid feeder cup” beside an advance copy of my Civil War Romeo and Juliet, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. One of the main characters is a Union officer who might have depended on such a device after being gravely wounded in 1864. (I love the research.) The novel arrives March 11 from doubledaybooks and has a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating after 50 reviews on NetGalley. Color me grateful!

Orson Welles was born on this day in 1915. One of the most brilliant things he said (and he said many), I used as an epigraph for my 2022 novel, THE LIONESS.
