“This was winter on the Oregon coast. The sea and sky met in a gray blur.”

A semi-famous author rents a cabin by the sea to write her next book. When her husband gives the town’s waitress five thousand dollars, a troubling suspicion prompts an amateur investigation. The quest will threaten every facet of her life.

THE WAITRESS is forthcoming from Avid Reader Press and Scribner UK in July 2027.
