Currently querying a YA contemporary novel with mystery, crushes, and crime. OVER THE LINE is set on a rural peninsula where lobstering is the norm, and drama comes with the territory.

Are You Waiting for Permission…to Write, or Publish, or Live Life Your Way? — Tiffany Hawk, Writing Coach Are you procrastinating on writing your book or pitching agents and publishers? Maybe you’re waiting for someone to tell you you’re good enough, or that you’re not selfish to write about yourself, or ...

"It’s sneaky, this propensity to outsource permission."

Thanks Adam! I'm really proud of the entire setting I crafted for this book: a rural peninsula town surrounded by islands. The agent mentioned being drawn in by the setting, so that is something!

Congrats!

Love the aesthetics here! ✨

A lobster boat fire sparks mayhem in the fishing community putting the notorious Teel family under scrutiny once again, yet Jules Thatcher is drawn to them and to solving a mystery that forces her into danger.
