It was a pleasure to have a dialogue with Michael LaPointe and @mikethorn.bsky.social on @craftworkpod.bsky.social. We chatted about navigating the pipeline between impulse and expression, breaking the genteel picture of literature, and finding liberation in failure.

"If You Knew Me is a twisty, gripping psychological thriller that isn't afraid to raise the issue of morality. Are we victims or co-conspirators? A novel you'll be thinking about for a long time." - Alma Katsu, author of Fiend
IF YOU KNEW ME is available to NetGalley members, and it could use more ratings and reviews at NetGalley and Goodreads. Also available to pre-order almost anywhere. It's a psychological thriller about obsession and identity. (I have reason to believe the audiobook edition is going to be awesome.)
