Listen for the Lie - now in paperback!
And soon to be a TV show!
Hello! It’s been a while since I updated this newsletter, but as always in publishing, everything happens at once. I have so many fun updates to share with you!
First up — the paperback of Listen for the Lie is out today!
It’s got some fun bonus content in the back, plus a slightly different cover! Go grab your copy today!
A Listen for the Lie TV Show!
I also announced some big news at the LA Times Festival of Books last weekend! Universal has optioned Listen for the Lie for TV! Writer Rachel Shukert (Glow, The Baby-Sitters Club, Nine Perfect Strangers) is adapting, and I’ll be an executive producer on the project as well. I got to do a panel at the LA Times Festival of Books with Rachel, executive producer Sue Naegle, and Jordan Moblo (executive vice president of creative acquisitions and IP management at Universal Studio Group — but you probably know him as Jordy’s Book Club!), where we talked all about the adaptation.
You can read about it in the LA Times.
Edgar Awards
I had the honor of attending the Edgar awards in NYC this year, as a nominee for Best Novel. It was so fun to meet my fellow nominees and get to celebrate all the great mystery works published this year. Congratulations to Charlotte Vassell on her win for The In Crowd!
(Side note: The softer water in New York City really made my hair so soft and shiny!! Now I feel like I need a water softener for the super hard Los Angeles water. I miss you, NYC hair.)
I also got to see some of my publishing team while I was there — my first time meeting my editor Ryan, and the associate publisher of Celadon, Rachel! My agent Faye also joined us, and it was so fun to hang out with everyone.
Lastly, I got to see a show while I was in New York City! Maybe Happy Ending was so sweet and charming. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun new musical to see while in NYC.
