I still can't believe that I get to do this, but: my first novel in English, a psychological thriller, is coming to you at @AAKnopf via the brilliant @Tim_OConnell! This is also a chance to announce that I'm now represented by the fantastic @Stephen_Barbara at @Inkwellmgmt.

I'm so grateful to be on this magnificent list, and to the judges, who I don't envy at all for having to make these decisions -- every one of the longlisted books and authors are outstanding.

Why she asked when journalists go to talk to voters they always talk to the customers at coffee shops. The working class are the waitresses and cooks but journalists rarely talk to them she noted. And damn she’s right.

I’ll be thinking a lot about the things @laurenthehough said in our interview. One thing she noted about the absence of the voices of working class people...(more)
Very excited to interview @laurenthehough for @NPRWeekend. I was not able to put this book down. Completely compelling. Her childhood in a cult, being gay in the air force, drugs, jail, cable jobs and heartache. What a voice and what a life story.
