Five Weeks in Paris
My family and I spent five weeks in Paris this summer. It was a dazzling experience and a much needed disconnect from everyday life. I did a lot of writing while I was there, both on my next novel and also simply recording my thoughts and observations on a truly stunning, vibrant city. Of course,…
Read MoreMusic Behind Black Out
This week I wrote an essay for largeheartedboy.com about the music I was listening to when I wrote BLACK OUT. Music plays a large part in my process and that was especially true for this novel. From LargeheartedBoy.com: In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that is in some way…

A couple of weeks ago, I got a charming email from JJ Cooper, an author about to release his first book with Random House Australia. JJ spent seventeen years in the Australian Army, deploying on two tours of duty in East Timor and one tour to the Middle East in 2003. He specialized in Human…
Read MoreMy Virtual Book Tour
So, I’m not on the road this year — not on the “real” road. I still consider myself to be on tour, though. Virtually. I am quite high tech these days. At first it felt very strange to be staying home as BLACK OUT approached publication; I’ve been heading out, visiting stores and meeting readers and…
Read MoreToday Show – Top 10 Summer Reads!
This morning, BLACK OUT was featured on the Today Show as one of the Top 10 summer reads! The Today Show host saw the cover and said “Oooh, this looks creepy.” (Who could ask for a better reaction). And the wonderful John Searles from Cosmopolitan said … I was a big fan of the author’s…

Read MoreStarred Review in PW!
Starred review from Publishers Weekly! They had some lovely things to say about BLACK OUT in a starred review earlier this month. And, as if that wasn’t enough, there’s an author Q & A in this week’s issue. Hope you have a second to check it out!
Read MoreChanges
I’ve said on an earlier post and in several interviews that I could not have written BLACK OUT if it weren’t for my daughter. Motherhood changed me, naturally. How could it not? It changed my view of the world, and so it changed my writing. It also made me more paranoid than ever before –…
Read MoreSliver of Truth Released in Trade Paperback.
Love hurts … sometimes it even kills. When I finished my New York Times bestselling thriller Beautiful Lies, I didn’t think I’d hear from Ridley Jones again. I knew the ending wasn’t an easy one, but I figured: That’s life. Ridley lives to fight another day. Sometimes that’s the best we get. But I soon…
