As you probably know if you’re already here, I wrote another book! Dead Soon Enough is the third installment in my Juniper Song series, and it deals with pregnancy surrogacy and the Armenian genocide. It got a starred, boxed review in Publishers Weekly––my first starred review, which I expect will result in runaway success and enormous wealth.

The book drops less than a week from now, on August 11,

Quotes by Steph Cha (?)

“Every day there had been rotten cops in the news and still she had been bamboozled.

‘I mean, they’re supposed to protect people, right? How can they be so bad at their jobs?’

‘They protect people from other people. Question is, who are people, and who are other people?”
― Steph Cha, Your House Will Pay

“There wasn’t much around: a warehouse, a wire fence, scrubby bushes on hard yellow ground, power lines draped across an empty, burning sky.”
