Seventeen-year-old Mattie is obsessed with Harry Houdini and Dorothy Dietrich, but she doesn't want anyone to know. She doesn't even tell her best friend Stella, let alone anyone from her high school. After Stella leaves to attend boarding school for the summer, Mattie isn't sure how to spend her time, and all of her anxieties come to a head. After a night of heavy drinking at a local speakeasy, she finally decides to indulge her interests and seeks out the reclusive Miyu, who is the daughter of a famed escapologist, and convinces her to train Mattie in the art of escapology. When Will, a popular jock from Mattie's high school, accidentally stumbles into one of Mattie's escape performances, she's sure that he will spill her secret and send her world crumbling down. But he has a secret of his own, and no one saw it coming.

I grew up by a small glacial lake in New Hampshire and, after brief stints in Colorado and Rhode Island, settled back in the Granite State with my husband and daughter (who will be affectionately referred to on this blog as “The Goobess”). As a small child, I told my mother I’d defaced a wall with crayons because I’d been possessed by an imp. I’m convinced that same imp drives me to write. Headshot1 When I’m not at my day job or cranking out novels on my laptop, you can find me soaking in the new golden era of television, stalking my favorite musicians on Twitter, trying not to embarrass myself on the volleyball court, and reading books of all sorts. I love giant squids and the color red, I hate the phrase “no offense,” and I think birds are creepy. Once upon a time, I was a lawyer but found myself unemployed in the thick of the recession. For my own sanity I started writing, and to make ends meet I took a job as a case manager at a residential program for teens. The kids I met there will forever serve as a well of inspiration for the contemporary YA I write. I’m represented by Jennifer Chen Tran at Bradford Literary. My headshot was taken by the fabulous Little Fang Photo.
