I'm thrilled to announce A DARKER MISCHIEF has received its second ⭐️starred ⭐️ review - from BOOKLIST!

"Milman has a singular gift for creating atmosphere that, with a twist of the sinister, is almost painfully vivid, as is his characterization."

Instead of blabbering on about how long this book took me to write, going out of my mind with it, and describing the plot yet again, I'm giving this my signature impressionistic twist with a RIYL

She fearlessly and publicly took down the Catholic Church before anyone was willing to listen. A monumental talent and a huge loss. RIP.

Hi all. I’m Derek! I’m a queer YA author based in Brooklyn.

My third novel, WITH LOVE & MISCHIEF, will be out from Scholastic next year. It’s a dark gay romance set against a secret society (based on a real one) at a top New England feeder school, involving a high profile kidnapping. More soon!
