Thanks to the Willamette Writers community and so many others, I’m thrilled to announce my first book contract. As the COVID lockdown took hold in 2020, I launched into crime fiction writing. Many drafts later my psychological thriller, TANGLED DARKNESS, will be published by Rowan Prose Publishing in the middle of 2025. The story in a nutshell: When psychiatrist Leslie Schoen unravels the dark secrets behind her coworker’s murder, she risks her family and career to expose a dangerous web of corruption before the sinister forces silence her forever.
