Congrats!

“Double Dutch Dare” was selected for the 2026 BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE! To be a part of BAMS with writers I admire who have come before me - Tom Andes, Meagan Lucas, Art Taylor, S.A. Cosby, and Ashley-Ruth Bernier - is insane. Truly the craziest thing NOT on my bingo card this year.

A little over two months from now!
