He Started It

Hello everyone!

This is my first ever blog post...please go easy on me :)
My second book, HE STARTED IT, is coming out on April 28, 2020 in the US and April 30, 2020 in the UK.

When I first envisioned a book about a family, specifically about siblings, my first thought was a road trip. Imagine being stuck in a car with your siblings--and their spouses--for a long time. Too long.

Then add in long-buried secrets, old grudges, and lots of scores to settle.

On top of all that, there's a huge inheritance on the line...and no one wants to share it.

I call this book the nightmare of all road trips. Personally, I think it's a lot of fun...to read. Not to be on!

Right now, there's a Goodreads Giveaway for the book. Enter for a chance to win 1 of 50 advance copies! You can find a link to it on the HE STARTED IT page.

Thank you for reading! I will be back...hopefully with some improved blog-writing skills, and some more information about this book and what I'm working on now.

Have a fantastic day!
Samantha

I'm sure I'll love it, I read a lot of mystery/thrillers this year. I gave 5 stars only to your novel, The turn of the key, and An anonymous girl. I think the Silent Patient was good, I gave it 4 stars, and I didn't buy "Look every door" because I prefer the small paperbacks that come out next year. Riley Sager is really good but his thrillers are more action packed and very influenced by movie tropes, I read his first two novels and gave both 4 stars. Your novel, My lovely wife, didn't have a crazy over the top twist at the end, I do like that, some people prefer the crazy twists like the one on The Silent Patient. Reading is like watching films, a very personal subjective experience.
