Change is in the air! I feel such hope, with much to look forward to. 2009 brings worldwide publication of my debut psychological thrillers with a touch of romance (one set in Colorado, the other set in the Hamptons, two of my favorite places). And I will begin work on the next, which will be set in London (my old stomping ground) and my hometown of NYC. A DARK LOVE will be released worldwide as an Avon mass market paperback next September (it's coming next spring in Italy and Germany). A DARK LOVE is the cat-and-mouse story of a young wife on the run from her abusive husband. RIPTIDE follows worldwide (also under the HarperCollins imprint) later next fall. RIPTIDE is set in the Hamptons in high season where a life of great privilege and wealth comes to a shocking end. . . and even the tallest privet hedges can't hide the secrets of a marriage gone terribly wrong. 2008 saw the release of THE TRUE MATCH from Avalon Publishing. THE TRUE MATCH is my second romantic comedy set in NYC that tracks the highs and lows and love life of Ruby Lattingly, an upper East Side model who has just landed her own reality TV show. THE TRUE MATCH picks up where my first book left off. THE WRITE MATCH (Avalon Publishing) is a romantic comedy that follows the adventures of Kit McCabe, an up-and-coming bridal magazine editor who gets way more than she bargains for when she lands the plum assignment to cover the posh nuptials of Wall Street bachelor Mark Dawson. Check out my "Books" section for details. For this, I can thank my amazing agent, Stephanie Cabot, and her stellar team at NYC's Gernert Company. I am thrilled to work with Carrie Feron and her top-notch team at HarperCollins. I'm also delighted to be part of the prestigious Diana Verlag imprint of Bertelsmann/Random House in Germany, and Italy's leading publisher Mondadori. Thrillers are my favorite books so of course I'm happiest writing those. I'm hooked on Harlan Coben right now, bleary-eyed from sitting up late to read Mary Jane Clark's IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT, and can't wait to dive in to Tana French's IN THE WOODS and Jordan Dane's NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM. My brand of thrillers are psychological with lots of heart and soul (that includes a smattering of romance), heavy on the atmosphere (I spent 18 years in the international travel biz, not to mention summers in the Hamptons and the years I called midtown Manhattan home). And yet the most exciting journey doesn't require a passport. I believe the most exciting and arduous journey is the one that explores the farthest reaches of our own mind. Hopefully, that comes across in my books. Enjoy. Best wishes,  |
