So excited to share I MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE with you!
Hello! I'm so thrilled to tell you my new novel, I Might Be in Trouble, is out today!
This is my favorite book I’ve ever written. The idea originated from feelings of loneliness and frustration at the way my life was going—but it quickly turned into the most joyful experience of my writing career so far. I MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE taught me it’s possible to turn bad things into positive ones, if only we’re willing to look at life through a different lens.
This story follows David, a struggling writer whose life has gone off the rails—and his situation only gets worse when he wakes up to find that his date from the night before is dead. Terrified he might have killed him, he calls the only person he trusts in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey. Together, they must piece together the events of the previous night, cover their tracks, and spin it all into a novel that will save David’s career—if only they can figure out what to do with the body first.
I hope you’ll love this story as much as I do. Your support means everything to me.

BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN is out now!
Hello!
I am so thrilled to share that BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN, my second novel, is now available everywhere books are sold!
It's been a long journey leading up to this moment, but I am so happy to finally be able to share this story with you. The first spark of inspiration for BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN came to me in the spring of 2019, and it was during the first weeks of 2020 that I actually put pen to paper.
As you know, so much has happened since then (a pandemic! The release of my first book!), but this story has stuck with me through highs and lows. Working on BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN brought me such comfort and joy when I desperately needed it, and I sincerely hope that you will find solace and light in it as well.
This book follows the story of Sol, a teenage girl living in Tijuana, Mexico, who crosses the border every single day to attend school in California. With her family's business failing, she must move away from home and take a job on the US side of the border so she can help her family. This book is about the big sacrifices we make for those we love, finding the power in our own voice, and discovering the kindness and love that surrounds us — even when we feel most alone.
If you were able to pick up your copy of BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN soon, I'd be incredibly grateful. Your support means the world to me, and I can't wait to share this story with you.
With love,
Daniel
