My thriller Killer Story is only $1.99 this month on Kindle! Petra Kovach has a chance to make it big as a true-crime podcaster, investigating the murder of a girl she knew. But her ambition is at war with her idealism - and she better put the “true” back in “true crime,” or the killer will go free.

It's official: my thriller FREE FOR ALL will be published next year! I love this book and am so excited to share it with people.
FREE FOR ALL is set 20 years from now, when just about everything’s been privatized and the Big Six corporate syndicates own schools, police departments... and people.

When our house burned down in the #PalisadesFire, I lost my only copies of the first play I ever wrote, Alaska Fire. I thought the play was gone forever. But miraculously, someone on Facebook I'd never met before, Wendy Revel, had a copy she'd saved for 40 years. Yesterday she gave it to me.

This is me working on my novel during the traffic jam as we were being evacuated from the #palisadesfire. (Our house burned down later that day.) Smoke all around us, but hey, a writer's gotta write!
