๐How does your background in psychology influence the way you write complex characters and thrilling plots?
First, lots of my books are drawn from real cases or experiences. But as a whole, my role as a psychologist gives me a unique perspective into character development. The same skills that made me a successful psychologist, also make me a good writer-to get inside the psyche of another person. The ability to set aside my own thoughts, ideas, and prejudices in order to view the world through someone else’s lens.
๐Describe your newest book, One In Four, in three words.
Murder. Addiction. Trauma.
๐As a big fan of Big Brother and reality TV, could you share what inspired One In Four?
Honestly, I just like the idea of someone dying on camera with everyone watching and the fallout afterward.
๐Do you find it challenging to write about sensitive topics like addiction and childhood trauma?
I’ve lived in this world both as a writer and psychologist for so long that I’m very desensitized to writing and/or talking about tough subjects. It used to be uncomfortable for me, but I’ve done it so many times that I’m very comfortable in these spaces. I exist in sensitive topic land:)
๐What do you hope for reader’s experience or feel after reading One in Four?
Like they just got off of a rollercoaster.
๐How has your writing process grown, and what excites you most about starting a new book?
I approach each book with the motivation that it’s going to be the best one.
๐How do you find balance when writing about heavy subjects?
I do lots of running and hiking.
๐What advice do you have for aspiring writers?
Never give up. Just keep writing. Write shitty first drafts.
๐What’s next for you after One In Four? Any new projects in the works?
My next audio thriller comes out 10/21/25 and I’m so excited for it!
