Drop Dead cover reveal and pre-order

I am so in love with the cover for my latest book, Drop Dead. Artist Leni Kauffman captured Nadine, Wes, Dot Voline’s house, and the cats perfectly.

This book is dual narration, with Nadine played by Phillipa Soo, who does such a fantastic job on my other books. Wes is voiced by the extraordinary and iconic actor John Cho.

It’s coming to audio on Audible on August 1, 2024 and you can pre-order here:
