SOMETHING OF A CALLING Has Launched!

Stephanie Wytovich & Zoje Stage

Launch @ Riverstone

SOMETHING OF A CALLING is now officially out in the world! I had two events during pub week - the launch at Riverstone Books Squirrel Hill (in conversation with Stephanie Wytovich), and an event at Barnes & Noble Settlers Ridge (in conversation with Richard Kadrey). They both went very well and were really fun (though I was a nervous wreck all day beforehand). Perhaps because I don't do many events - maybe 1-2 local appearances a year (I don't travel) it feels very special when I get to be in a bookstore signing books for excited readers. 

I saw several friends at Riverstone who I hadn't seen in a while. And Barnes & Noble Settlers Ridge blew my mind with the largest display of my books that I've ever seen! 

Cover Reveal!

I always love sharing the covers of my books for the first time, but this one is extra special as it comes via People Magazine, alongside an article that shares some of the juicy details about the book.

Maybe it's a sign of these messy times that this is giving me so much hope right now - hope that this timely short novel will connect with readers. And if any of you follow me on social media, you've probably seen me post pictures of the deer behind my house. All of my books feel personal to me, but this one hits close to home as I love my animal neighbors so much and they inspired me to write this.

SOMETHING OF A CALLING (thriller/ecohorror) is being published by Blackstone and will be available Sept. 15, 2026.

New Publisher, New Writing Phase

It's been a minute since I posted anything here. In general, I haven't been using social media as much this year...possibly because it often feels like the world is ending. But I have an exciting new project on the horizon, and it was just announced officially (there's always stuff going on behind the scenes). SOMETHING OF A CALLING seems to mark the beginning of my "detective phase," after several years of a "mother/daughter phase." And it also marks my first time with Blackstone Publishing!
