Wow, I really hate sending emails, huh? I’d say sorry for leaving you hanging for (over) six months but I doubt anyone thinks fewer emails is a bad thing.
At least you know that when you receive an email from me, it’s for a good reason!
First of all, I hope 2026 is off to a great start for everyone, despite (waves around at the world) everything going on!
As you may or may not know, my debut thriller, The Revenge Party, comes out on May 12!
It’s only four months away, which means I’ll be insufferable about book promotion. Apologies in advance.
Ready to see the cover?
….drum roll…
…more drum roll…
…anticipation…
…suspenseful music…
Isn’t she pretty?1 Here’s what she’s all about:
"Do you have what it takes to bring down the bad guy?"
When a husband’s lies are no longer a secret and manipulation passes for love, a wife must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose the man she married—and what justice truly means—in this dark, modern marriage thriller.
He used women to climb to the top. Now watch him fall.
Devoted mother and party planner Katherine Valentine thought she’d finally found safety when she married Seattle’s golden boy, Shane Sutton. Charming, generous, and politically untouchable, he’s the kind of man people protect. But behind the polished façade lurks a predator who collects women like trophies, and Katherine has become his latest prize.
Desperate to protect her children, Katherine devises the perfect plan: use Shane's mistress against him. But Isabella Meyer is no pawn. She didn’t come to be saved. She came to settle a score.
And revenge is only the beginning.
In The Revenge Party, marriage is a stage, politics is a weapon, and every woman has a reason to lie. A razor-sharp, female-driven psychological thriller of social warfare and buried secrets, when women are pushed past polite.
Twisty, ruthless, and absolutely to die for.
A fun early review:
The Revenge Party begs the question: What if women conspired to take down the smallest man who ever lived? Any woman who has felt trapped, angry, scared or helpless over the last 10 years will find solace in this book where toxic men get what’s coming for them. In stilettos, no less.
And now comes my least favorite part of being an author: begging for your pre-order!
I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ll say it again: pre-orders are one of the most important metrics for books.
Other ways you can help? Shelve it or mark it as “want to read” on Goodreads. Share it with your friends or on social media. Buy copies for yourself and a friend!
I’ll sweeten the deal for you: If you send me your proof of purchase HERE, I’ll email you a digital link so you can read early on Kindle or computer or phone or whatever e-reader you use.
Another fun perk? You’ll be invited to my virtual book club for early readers in early May (date TBD).
You’ll also get an upgrade to a free lifetime paid subscription to my Substack, which, let’s be honest, isn’t THAT much of a bonus since I hardly ever post, but hey, a freebie is a freebie!
That’s all I have for today, other than an obligatory picture of Buddy, who will stare into your soul and ask you to purchase my book.
