Book Number Two is Official!
I'm super excited to be working on my second book, especially now that it has an official home! I'm also super excited to be working with the same brilliant editor at Atria Books, Sarah Cantin, who edited The List!
Lot 24 is the working title of my second book and it's all about the glamorous, competitive world of the auction industry. I'm absolutely loving researching everything there is to know about Christie's and Sotheby's, particularly about American Furniture, which is my protagonist's field of expertise.
When I wrote The List, I had spent almost a decade in journalism, so I didn't do that much industry research, pulling instead from years of crazy experiences. Frog noise machines in the bathroom, editors who wore huge safari hats and didn't shower when on deadline? Yeah, that happened. But for Lot 24, I've got lots to learn and it's fun to pull on the research skills I honed in journalism to work on this book.
Not to mention that I'm writing a super hot male love interest in this one. And that's very fun! My fiancé totally understands...
I'll keep you posted on my progress!
