It was a lot of fun and a real honor to be jointly awarded the @pw.org Editor’s Award, together with my amazing @groveatlantic.bsky.social colleagues Elisabeth Schmitz and Morgan Entrekin. My first and probably only time speaking next to a giant version of myself on screen! Surreal and joyous.

It’s a literary novel with elements of suspense. It’s a legal drama. It’s a family drama. It’s revenge. But let me tell you what it is not—the same ole story. Here’s another amazing blurb from @xochitltheg. So so grateful to her because this woman is BUSY doing the work!
