MOTHERED - Cover Reveal

 

Are you ready?? Here's the cover for MOTHERED - coming 2/14/23! Get ready for a deep dive into mother-daughter psychological horror...

The Girl Who Outgrew The World

It's officially official!! My first novella, THE GIRL WHO OUTGREW THE WORLD, will be published on May 1, 2022 by the indie publisher, Lethe Press. This project is different for me - not only is it a novella, it's also a dark fairy tale - but this little book is very special to me.

If you're curious about Lilly's adventure, please consider pre-ordering the book.

New York Times Review

 If you're an author, you hope and pray that the New York Times reviews your book. And you're grateful for whatever they say, good or bad, because it's the NY Times. GETAWAY was published just over two months ago and I'd long given up hope that it was still on the Times' radar...But lo and behold!

I couldn't be more grateful to Danielle Trussoni and the NY Times for including GETAWAY in this "Read It and Scream" article.  

"Stage is a writer with a gift for the lyrical and the frightening. She creates gorgeous descriptions of nature in one paragraph, and heart-stopping scenes of violence in the next...Stage's characters are so engrossing, her ability to create tension so deft, that GETAWAY feels original, and very scary."

In Case You Missed It...

GETAWAY has been out in the world for two weeks now and my promo & events are winding down. This seemed like a good time - and place - to post the links to the podcasts & virtual author talks I had the pleasure of doing in support of GETAWAY. Thank you to everyone who invited me to your store, show, group, etc.!

GETAWAY is Here!!

It's finally Pub Day for GETAWAY! Thank you so much to everyone who pre-ordered the book - or plans to buy it now that it's out in the world! Here's a highlight of some of the new publicity:

- I'm very proud of this piece I wrote for CrimeReads about the origins of GETAWAY and my writing process.

- The New York Post included GETAWAY in its weekly roundup of the Best New Books to Read.

- I'm so grateful to Zibby Owens for her interest in GETAWAY! My episode of her podcast Moms Don't Have Time To Read Books is now live.

Good Day LA

I'm completely gobsmacked and thrilled that GETAWAY was featured on Good Day LA!! Huge thanks to Zibby Owens (Moms Don't Have Time To Read Books)! I've never heard my name (or a book) mentioned on TV, so this was extremely exciting for me! You can watch the segment here.
