Thriller
Fiction
I'm seeking representation for my psychological thriller THE PRICE YOU PAY (90,000 words).
Disgraced ad exec Rae Dane’s retreat back to her hometown has been miserable. She’s struggling to fit in at a new company and spend more time with her two-year-old daughter. But then, Rae’s new boss Amanda is brutally kidnapped, and Rae is the only witness. Rae wants to go to the police, but the kidnapper threatens to kill her and her family if she talks. As the intimidation escalates–and draws ever closer to home–Rae has no choice but to search for Amanda and confront a long-standing vendetta against the company she is unwittingly fighting to protect.
​
THE PRICE YOU PAY will appeal to fans of The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave, The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean, and Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner. It shares the theme ‘the evils of inherited wealth’ with Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson.

KidLit
The emotional, humorous and adventurous kidlit genre has sunk its hooks in me and will not let go. I'm an active member of SCBWI, 12x12 Challenge, and a vibrant critique group called Rhyme & Punishment. I'm currently seeking representation with 7 polished picture book manuscripts.
