do you wish there were more books about morally complicated ex-wives fighting a mysterious legal conspiracy while falling back in love?

☼ would you like to see more lesbian or wlw protagonists with really messy lives?

☼ do you want more queer literature in the mystery/thriller genre?

☼ are you a fan of second-chance romances between women?

My award-winning 2022 novel Last Chance Chicago follows recovering addict and former lawyer Sam DiCiccio as her ex-wife Amy Igarashi makes her way back into Sam's life after being framed for insider trading. Sam wants Amy back. Amy — a hedge fund VP — wants to figure out which of her coworkers is trying to put her in federal prison, before they manage to get away with it. Naturally, Sam volunteers to help.

I recommend it, but I'm biased, don't take it from me:

☼ Last Chance Chicago is available as a paperback and an ebook almost anywhere books are sold, including my publisher, Bywater Books.

☼ It's also now available as an audiobook voiced wonderfully by Nicky Endres, who you may have seen face off with Amanda Seyfried's Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout and who praised the book as exciting, hilarious and authentic (thank you Nicky!) ❤️ 🧡 💛

On 9/19, the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality held a press conference in front of the Jefferson Davis monument on Monument x Davis Avenue. A prop plane paid for by the Virginia Flaggers circled overhead trailing the message “Confederate Heros Matter”.

I covered the story for CBS 6.
