I absolutely adore your quest to read 50 Canadian-themed/authored books this year, and I do still identify as Canadian. I've got my certified birth certificate to prove it :) and love visiting Montreal and Toronto when I can. I'd be honored to be included in your 150th celebration. Best, F. (less)

Thank you a ton! The next book will be out January 2025 and is set at the Met Museum. I'm so excited to share it with you.

Before then, in March of 2024, I'll be releasing an audiobook novella that I wrote with Greg Wands called The Gimlet Slip. It's set in Prohibition era NYC and includes a woman who runs a criminal empire out of the Plaza Hotel. More on that here:

“No matter how she had suffered, Darby hadn’t retreated from life after all. In fact, she’d embraced it. Quietly, carefully, but with dignity and love.”
Fiona Davis, The Dollhouse

“Leave it to a librarian to point out the alliteration in my life’s tragedies.”
Fiona Davis, The Lions of Fifth Avenue

“So how did you get into journalism?” “In high school I worked on the paper. Then I majored in journalism in college. I loved collecting facts and then making a story out of them. The perfect combo of science and art. How about you?”
