Betrayed By a Trusted Author: How One Writer Turned a Shocking Scam Into a Master Plan for Revenge
And yes you remember correctly. I did flirt with the idea of historical fiction and sailboat regattas for a while. I’m still drawn to history, but I’ve realized that whatever the setting, I’m always chasing the same thing: the small moments that change everything. That’s what keeps me at the desk.
I’d love to hear what you’re working on now, and what it’s teaching you.
Best regards
