The Burying Point

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).

CosmicEggInc

Cosmic Egg Inc.

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.

Manchineel

The Manchineel

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.

FloatBoat

Float the Boat

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Ehrlich on his 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.

The Joy of Making Things Up
by Mark S. Ehrlich

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Ehrlich on his debut novel, Float the Boat. The bulk of the story takes place in Southeast Asia, and the rich descriptions and atmosphere Ehrlich has created in Float the Boat reflect the experiences he obtained through his decades of traveling the world, both for work and pleasure. Today, Ehrlich has stopped by to explain how a pivotal scene in the book sprang from a real-life relationship and his desire to imagine “what if” things had turned out differently.
