Convention: RARE '23


I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be once again be in attendance at international book events, this time with RARE (Romance Author and Reader Event) in Florence, Italy! The signing will be on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at the Spadolini Pavilion: 1 Viale Filippo Strozzi 50129 Firenze. I believe the event has since sold out, but tickets do become available as attendees' plans change and they sell theirs if they're unable to make it. Details can be found here and on their Facebook group here.

I also plan to schedule a meet-up with readers in the area, where we can perhaps get coffee or lunch together and talk about books for the afternoon! Date and time and location will be determined, but I hope you'll join me if you're able!

Translation: Snow e Winter


I'm thrilled to announce that I'm working with Triskell Edizioni to bring my books to the Italian-language market! Snow & Winter has been contracted for translation and Nevermore, Curiosities, and Moving Image will begin rolling out in 2024. I look forward to sharing cover art and purchase links when they become available!

Translation: Jour de neige

The French edition of Color of You is now available as Jour de neige!

Blurb: En déménageant dans le New Hampshire, Bowen ne s’attendait pas à trouver l’amour. Ni à devoir se démener pour prouver à l’élu de son cœur que leur relation naissante vaut la peine de se battre.
Bowen Merlin – oui, c’est son vrai nom – accepte un poste dans la ville pittoresque de Lancaster, dans le New Hampshire, où il sera désormais le directeur du groupe de musique du lycée.
Il quitte New York pour la campagne enneigée de la Nouvelle-Angleterre juste à temps pour les fêtes de fin d’année. Entre les cours, les devoirs, les activités extrascolaires et un concert de Noël surprise dont il doit organiser la conception ainsi que les répétitions, Bowen est plutôt occupé. Et puisqu’il n’a jamais eu beaucoup de chance en amour, prendre du temps pour trouver Monsieur Parfait n’est pas dans ses priorités.
Du moins, jusqu’à ce qu’il rencontre le propriétaire de la pommeraie Snowy Ridge, Felix Hansen. Soudain, et pour la première fois de sa vie, accéder au véritable amour semble devenir une possibilité. Les deux hommes vont parfaitement ensemble et font palpiter le cœur de l’autre.
Malheureusement, aussi merveilleux que Felix puisse paraître, il garde en lui de vieilles cicatrices qui pourraient mettre fin à leur relation naissante, en particulier avec cette personne en ville qui se donne beaucoup de mal pour saboter leurs carrières.
Si Bowen veut survivre à ça, il va devoir s’appuyer sur ses anciens amis ainsi que les nouveaux, convaincre Felix qu’il en vaut la peine et lui prouver que, s’ils font face à la catastrophe ensemble, ils en sortiront plus forts.

Release: Subway Slayings

I'm thrilled to finally be releasing the second book in the Memento Mori series and to have returned to my beloved Larkin and Doyle! These books are very difficult to write—piles of research books, endless hours lost to scientific studies, months of hemming and hawing over every single word because Larkin is so exact, so calculated, but so horribly broken, that the story is like walking a tightrope so as not to overwhelm the reader with too much sensory input. I hope you enjoy Subway Slayings as much as I did writing it.

Blurb:  Detective Everett Larkin of New York City’s Cold Case Squad has been on medical leave since catching the serial killer responsible for what the media has dubbed the “Death Mask Murders.” But Larkin hasn’t forgotten that another memento—another death—is waiting to be found.

Summer brings the grisly discovery of human remains in the subway system, but the clues point to one of Larkin’s already-open cases, so he resumes active duty. And when a postmortem photograph, akin to those taken during the Victorian Era, is located at the scene, Larkin requests aid from the most qualified man he knows: Detective Ira Doyle of the Forensic Artists Unit.

An unsolved case that suffered from tunnel vision, as well as the deconstruction of death portraits, leads Larkin and Doyle down a rabbit hole more complex than the tunnels beneath Manhattan. And if this investigation isn’t enough, both are struggling with how to address the growing intimacy between them. Because sometimes, love is more grave than murder.

Soundtrack: Subway Slayings


Today is the release of Book 2 in the Memento Mori series and the return of detectives Larkin and Doyle: Subway Slayings. With the exception of the denouement, usually because I'm just beyond frazzled at that point and can't bear a single sound while working, I always write to music and tend to obsess over the same half a dozen songs for the entirety of the project. Here's the soundtrack that Subway Slayings was written to:


 
Save Tonight - Eagle-Eye Cherry 
 
 
 
Die Young - Sylvan Esso 
 
 
 
BETTER - Royal & The Serpent 
 
 
 
Without You - Avicii 
 
 
 
Help Me - Alkaline Trio 
 
 
 
I'm Good (Blue) - David Guetta & Bebe Rexha 
 
 
 
Nine - Boom Boom Satellites 
 
 
 
House of Memories - Panic! At the Disco 
 
 
 
Experience - Ludovico Einaudi
