Naples. A storm rolls in.
The faithful gather for Mass.
And in the shadows - a woman is killed.

Nikki Serafino is back.

Edits to chapter 19 completed today. #nikkiserafino series book 2. That doesn't mean edits to chapters 1-18 are complete. Was I supposed to be linear about this? 🤔

I'm in the middle of plotting the third book in the #maythewolfdie #nikkiserafino series and utterly THRILLED to discover that my new plotline connects deeply with a subject I researched more than a decade ago as part of my work as an #analyst. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

Plotting is going pretty well today. Lately, it’s been a lot of thinking, a lot of reading INTERPOL reports and news articles, a lot of voice notes, and a lot of circling the runway. Satisfying to finally get some of this out.

Oh, please add me. PRH mystery writer. First book in the #nikkiserafino series, #maythewolfdie was one of Publishers Weekly’s best books of 2024!
