Behold the beautiful cover for Stay Dead (May 2024)
Sometimes, the only way to live is to make sure the world thinks you’re dead.
In the aftermath of a car accident that claimed the life of her senator father, sixteen-year-old Milan finds herself adrift, expelled from her third boarding school. Milan’s mother, who has assumed the senate seat, diverts her private plane to pick up her daughter. But on their way home, a bomb rips off a wing and the plane crashes in the mountains. In her final moments, Milan’s mother entrusts her with a key. She reveals it will unlock the evidence that so many people have already died for—including Milan’s father. The only way Milan can survive, her mom tells her, is to let everyone believe she died with the other passengers.
Milan is forced to navigate a perilous descent in freezing conditions while outwitting everything from a drone to wild animals. With relentless assassins on her trail, she must untangle the web of deceit and save herself and countless others. Will she piece together the truth in time?
Planes, trains, and automobiles
In 2023, I travelled across the US to speak to 19,235 students (give or take). I love doing school visits, and am so thankful they are on the upswing. I still have some dates available in the spring. To inquire about having me speak at a school visit or other event, contact my booking agent.
The tale of two covers
My 2022 book, Two Truths and a Lie, has a new cover for the paperback, which came out this month. Which do you like better?
Would you like the literal shirt off my back?
I have a great collection of T-shirts. Too many to actually wear. So I’m going to give four lucky newsletter readers the chance to get one of them. All have been worn fewer than five times, are freshly laundered, and are a woman’s size large (although some larges are larger than other larges) (also don't look at the word large for very long because it is a strange-looking word!). Just respond to this newsletter if you are interested. The first person chosen by the random number generator will get their pick of all the shirts. The next person will get to choose from the remaining shirts, and so on.
Ummm, I love this. :)
This seems amazing!!!
