I’m sharing a nice little feature regarding my A Dickens of a Crime series. Thank you, Candice Ames!

Isn’t my first Spanish edition gorgeous! I just love this cover so much!

The paperback is here! If you are a trade paperback afficionado, it’s time to pick up book one in my series, just in time to get ready for Death and the Sisters, coming in two weeks!

Hi friends!

We have a new Goodreads Giveaway for Death and the Sisters! It started today and runs through 10/25/23. 100 copies will be given away.

In honor of that, I’m going to run a contest! Right now on Goodreads, 17,085 people have shelved the book in “to-read.” Isn’t that amazing? Once I have 25,000 number of people shelving DEATH AND THE SISTERS as a to-read on Goodreads I will release the first scene of Mary Shelley’s (fictional) first novel, Isabella, the Penitent; or, The Bandit Novice of Dundee! This is the novel she’s writing across my Mary Shelley Mystery series, and it will be so much fun!

As a push goal, let’s get to 40,000 people shelving DEATH AND THE SISTERS! The reward for that will be me releasing a new portrait of Mary Shelley in a medium of my choice. My followers have seen a few different pieces of my Mary Shelley art, and I will make more!

Enter the contest here! Don’t forget to add the book to your Goodreads TBR.

I was so excited to hear that my new book, Death and the Sisters, was chosen for the rare honor of Editors’ Picks: Best Mystery, Thriller & Suspense! My book is now on an Amazon scroll with John Grisham, Lee Child, John Sanford, and Robert Galbraith among others! What an honor.

Alice Boatright and I will be “in conversation” at the University of Washington Bookstore at 6pm PST on Monday, Oct 2nd. I am told there will also be a livestream option if you do not live in the Seattle area.

Please consider RSVPing if you are coming in person. It is a free event but there will be books for sale by both of us. There is also free parking!

I look forward to seeing locals at a bookstore where I have such strong memories.

Death and the Sisters (Mary Shelley #1) is available today in ebook, hardcover, and audiobook!

Enter the world of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. What led her to become the famed Mary Shelley, mother of science fiction, and author of Frankenstein? It’s the perfect read for this time of year!

I will be “in conversation” with fellow mystery author Alice Boatwright at 6pm. I’m so happy to be visiting my favorite bookstore when I was a kid, and my alma mater! It’s free to join us, and books will be available for purchase.

I received word today that Death and the Sisters has its first foreign rights deal, and will be published in print in Polish! My great-grandparents were refugees and exactly where they were born is unclear, but they were from roughly that part of the world, so I’m extra excited to see more of my books coming out in Polish.

Jakie to ekscytujące!
