The paperback for WHERE YOU END is out! The NYTBR says it's “exquisitely written.” A New Yorker writer calls it “Donna Tartt meets David Lynch.” Good Morning America named it a Buzz Pick. Stephen King wore a rabbit mask in its honor.

Twins! Amnesia! A cult! And inspired by a true story, to boot.

I'm thrilled to announce that EDEN UNDONE is a Goodreads finalist for history! If you enjoyed this strange tale of sex, murder, and utopia, please take a moment to vote. I'll pick a random voter to win a free copy of the book and some steel denture swag. Thanks in advance!: shorturl.at/0EIlt

My latest Wicked History substack post: Patricia Highsmith's various inspirations for The Talented Mr. Ripley, including a newspaper article about a man who was spotted in a bar hours after his own funeral. It only gets stranger (and more Highsmith-ian) from there: tinyurl.com/27umju26
