I have had an interesting writing journey these past few years. After TWINE was published, I became fascinated with a story about a 2015 prison break with which I have loose personal ties.
I spent two years writing/revising this novel entitled SCAPEGOAT, but when it came time to pitch it to agents I received feedback about "strong writing" but "not sure how this story would fit into the market," kinds of comments. I reworked it, revised it again, wondering who exactly I was trying to please. The "marketplace" felt elusive. I knew something just wasn't working. I officially decided to stick SCAPEGOAT in the proverbial drawer, and begin anew.
I had been secretly honing an idea for my next novel that is set on Plum Island, Massachusetts, and couldn't wait to begin. Now, after one year writing and another one revising that novel, I feel like this is 'the one.' This is a story that I hope will resonate with readers, agents, and the marketplace alike.
The working title is "Generous Liar." Stay tuned to hear what happens next!
