Q and A about The Five Year Lie
After my cover launch last week, I got a lot of questions about The Five Year Lie. And I’m happy to answer them! Have another question? Leave it in the comments!
Q: Okay where is this picture on the front?
A: Welcome to Portland, Maine! I love this city desperately, and I’m setting two different books here so I have an impeccable excuse to visit.
Q: The cover says “a domestic thriller.” WTH does that mean?
A: It refers to a novel of suspense that’s not about law enforcement, and not, say, an international spy thriller. It’s more of a girl-with-a-problem book. (And, yup, hers is quite the problem!)
Q: Will it keep me up at night?
A: Yes and no. Don’t start this book at bedtime because I’m told you won’t be able to put it down until you know the truth. But it’s not Pet Cemetery by Stephen King, either.
Q: Is this a romance? Can I be assured of an HEA?
A: 🤷♀️ You’re either on this journey with me or you’re not.
Q: Is this book a standalone? Or the start of a series?
A: This book is a standalone. My next thriller (in 2025) will be another standalone. Both books are set in Portland, Maine, but they do not have overlapping plots or characters.
Q: Why is this ebook more expensive than your other ones?
A: This price is set by my publisher, according to the market for similar books. But because HarperCollins is so huge, there are a million legal ways to get it. Big stores. Libraries. Plus Audible & LibroFM (where the audio is still just one credit!) And the paperback may be discounted by big retailers.
Q: Will you have signed copies? Are you doing events?
A: I will probably have an independent bookstore handle the signed copies for me. And there will probably be a few events. Stay tuned!
