I enjoyed this absorbing and chilling story. It’s a bit of a Russian doll, and you’ll likely be walloped by twists you wouldn’t expect in the third act of upmarket fiction. #booksky #upmarketfiction

Grr. Someone explain the #logic behind *loudly* applauding #religious, #racial, #ethnic #diversity & #sexualorientation in #upmarketfiction and then shying away/begging off from #reading it.

Chapter 9 — Silence of Thunder. Isolation becomes the trial. Silence becomes the adversary. And a partnership begins in cold precision.

From my novel:

“If looks could kill, Sebastian would have buried me six feet under by now.”

A kiss is never just a kiss.

From my upmarket speculative WIP about memory, identity, and the ghosts we carry.

#WIPsnip #FirstKiss #SpecFic #AmWriting #UpmarketFiction #WritingCommunity
A softly lit romantic excerpt set in a forest at night. A woman leans in, emotionally overwhelmed, and shares a reverent first kiss with a man who once nearly killed her. The moment is quiet, redemptive, and intimate. They stay close, wrapped in each other’s arms, as the fire crackles and the trees sway around their fragile peace.

Our first year hosting the I Am Writing Literary/Upmarket Fiction proved to be a huge success. Agent @livmaidment.bsky.social had a REALLY difficult time choosing from such beautiful entries. Thank you for everything, Liv. And well done to these talented wordsmiths

Not a writing tip.
Not a clever hook.
Just the truth behind why I wrote this book.
Let it sit with you.
Then tell me what silence you’ve had to break.

Feeling grateful to call Nantucket home, especially with the Book Festival coming up June 12–15.
Ocean Vuong, Imani Perry, Lisa Genova… their work echoes the heart of Not Guilty.
I’ll be there. Let me know if you are too—we can share a coffee!

Today I opened my manuscript.
Not to revise, just to remember why I wrote it.

Not Guilty didn’t come from comfort. It came from the in-between: Languages, visas, fear of being erased.

Before it was a novel,
it was survival.

I wrote Bia’s story from memory—mine, and the ones I carry.
She was always waiting: for safety, for belonging, for a real beginning.
When I started Not Guilty, I thought I was writing the past.
I didn’t expect it to feel so current.

Not Guilty is fiction.
But the grief, rage, and resilience behind it?
Very real.

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a reminder:
Every woman deserves to reclaim her body, her pleasure, her voice—at any age, at any time.
(A message that lives at the heart of Not Guilty, too.)

So I'm listening to a very popular podcast, and some agents on it who keep talking about #literaryfiction as being plotless, and it makes me blood boil. I love literary fiction. Just because it isn't commercial doesn't mean it is plotless. #Writingcommunity #novels #amwriting #upmarketfiction
