I was truly honored when Kimberly Coghlan, the editor behind Enemies of Doves and A River of Crows, asked to read and review my third novel, The Bone Nest. You can read her review below: I was so invested in The Bone Nest that I finished it in just a few hours, yet this novel…
Justice, Grace, and a Death Row Case
Leading up to the release of The Bone Nest, I wanted to feature stories of the wrongly convicted and the men and women who fight for them. My first in the series highlights someone whose work has inspired me and helped shape the way I approached this novel. When I began writing The Bone Nest,…
