It was an honor to work with Derik Cavignano again. The Burying Point, the second entry in the Detective Ray Hanley series, is an Editor’s Pick at BookLife (Publishers Weekly)—”Half crime drama, half occult horror story, this procedural is all memorable.”—receiving across-the-board A ratings. The first book in the series, The Art of Dying, won the American Fiction Award for Horror (2019).
I had the pleasure of working with Morrow Andrews on his novel Cosmic Egg Inc, in which college student Peter Kane is approached by an enigmatic stranger who says Peter has been selected to play a game, the stakes of which are the fate of the world. What follows is a fast-paced adventure where near-future sci-fi/tech bleeds into reality as Peter goes down a rabbit hole that has him questioning his sanity.
Jessica Carrasquillo’s debut novel, The Manchineel, finds Elyse Santiago, a young woman with a dark secret, caught up in a relationship with an older, married man that triggers trauma from her past and blurs the lines of her moral boundaries. It was a pleasure to work with Jessica on a story that so deftly blends psychological suspense with dark humor and romance.
I had the pleasure of working with Mark Ehrlich on his award-winning debut novel, Float the Boat, which was published in November. The bulk of the story takes place in Southeast Asia, and the rich descriptions and atmosphere Ehrlich has created in the novel reflect the experiences he obtained through his decades of traveling the world, both for work and pleasure.
I always enjoy working with Alan Chaput on his Vigilantes for Justice mystery series, which is set in Savannah, Georgia, and features social icon Patricia Falcon. The first book in the series, Savannah Sleuth, was released in 2017, followed by Savannah Secrets in 2018, and Savannah Justice in 2019. Savannah Dragon, the latest entry in the series, is out now.
