Good news! Coming to a bookstore near you in Spring 2023 – my first historical thriller. Writing it is how I dealt with the fear, confusion, and unknown we all experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

The title is:

SILENT CAME THE MONSTER: A Novel of the 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks

What it's about:

During the summer of 1916, a surgeon at the Jersey Shore fights denial, conspiracy theories, defiance, and confusion in a desperate attempt to convince a skeptical public that the culprit behind a series of fatal attacks is a shark, not a huge sea turtle or German U-boat, and that it will strike again. Inspired by a series of true events.

The book deal was made by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, my literary agency, with the fabulous Blackstone Publishing, long famous for audio but, since 2016, also publishing paper and ebooks. I am enjoying working with them.

Pre-orders would be appreciated. Please consider pre-ordering at your local, family-owned bookstore or follow one of these pre-order online links:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Silent-Came-Monster.../dp/B0B85B3Z4Q

Walmart online: https://www.walmart.com/.../Silent-Came-the.../1537246277

Barnes & Noble online: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/.../silent.../1141907986...

IndieBound (network of independent bookstores) Not sure you can actually pre-order but here’s the link: https://www.indiebound.org/search/book...

Directly from the publisher: https://www.blackstonepublishing.com/silent-came-the...

Thank you all for your interest and support. I'm known for trying new genres, but this one is a big leap from what I have done in the past, and frankly I'm a little nervous as well as excited.
