I loved Suddenly a Murder & Very Dangerous Things —what’s next?
The Dead Darlings will be published Summer 2027! It’s a true locked room mystery (aka impossible murder) in which the lead singer of a teen punk band dies mysteriously during a video shoot at an (allegedly) haunted house. When a documentary crew investigates whether paranormal activity was involved, the band's guitarist sets out to prove it was murder.

Do you use AI?
Absolutely not. Not to brainstorm, not to research, not to outline, not to write, not to edit, not to make art, not to promote, not to do anything.
