It was a pleasure to have a dialogue with Michael LaPointe and @mikethorn.bsky.social on @craftworkpod.bsky.social. We chatted about navigating the pipeline between impulse and expression, breaking the genteel picture of literature, and finding liberation in failure.

"If You Knew Me is a twisty, gripping psychological thriller that isn't afraid to raise the issue of morality. Are we victims or co-conspirators? A novel you'll be thinking about for a long time." - Alma Katsu, author of Fiend

IF YOU KNEW ME is available to NetGalley members, and it could use more ratings and reviews at NetGalley and Goodreads. Also available to pre-order almost anywhere. It's a psychological thriller about obsession and identity. (I have reason to believe the audiobook edition is going to be awesome.)

Check out my latest feature for In Review Online, "The Pasteboard Masks of Text and Screen: On Writers in Gothic Cinema." I went long on horror cinema's depictions of writers, focusing on Clarke's Exposé, Kubrick's The Shining, & Kurosawa's Loft.
