Now that two of my novels are with my agent (one being shopped, the other being read) I’ve started a new project. It feels great to write a fresh novel again. Editing was the focus in 2011, and although I’m happy with the results, I’m relieved to be forging ahead.

The new novel takes place in the Chicago suburbs, and there’s a bit of mystery, adventure, and creepiness to the piece. I look forward to letting my characters respond naturally to the difficult situation I’ve tossed them into.
