As for what I’m up to, I’m querying a domestic suspense novel that blends the atmospheric claustrophobia of Megan Abbott’s BEWARE THE WOMAN with the postpartum psychological tension of Allison Buccola’s THE ASCENT.

Here’s the one-sentence pitch: Birdie is hell-bent on proving her upstairs neighbor killed his wife, even when no one else thinks she’s dead; if he didn’t, Birdie will have to accept that she’s losing touch with reality… again.

(If you’re an agent and you think that sounds interesting, I’d love to talk!)
