About this author

edit data

I am a former high school teacher turned full-time writer living in Oklahoma with my husband and my cat.

My debut novel, THE REVENANT (Knopf 2011), is a ghostly mystery set at a Cherokee girls' school. My latest book, THE DARK BETWEEN (Knopf, August 2013) is a Gothic murder mystery set in Cambridge, England.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not assigning stars to book reviews anymore. I'm really not writing reviews, either. Mostly I'm just tracking my reading, and rest assured that if a book shows up on my Goodreads list, it was a worthwhile read.

I do write actual reviews of books I loved at Book End Babes on the 4th Wednesday of every month. :)

Though the story meandered, I was very drawn to protagonist Amina. It was refreshing to see our familiar and ordinary world through her eyes.

A noir mystery reminiscent of VERONICA MARS and the film BRICK. (Bonus: it's set in Oklahoma City!) Couldn't put this one down. The mystery was twisty and the characters engaging. Loved Dylan, Randy, and Audrey. Rockin' Rhonda was pretty fab, too. Hi...more

Wonderful setting, strong heroine, plus lots of spooks and chills in this mystery. The romance wasn't quite as intense as in THE HAUNTING OF MADDY CLARE, but was captivating nevertheless. Looking forward to more from this author!
