Books
A boy who becomes a fish. A murder that unravels a small Wisconsin town. A teenager who takes on a totalitarian regime. Three very different books, one writer.
A Winsome Murder
A grisly murder in a pastoral Wisconsin town proves to be only the opening act in a twisting, darkening series of deaths. A gorgeous waitress with a haunted past, an author juggling a failing career and motherhood, and a hard-bitten detective drawing unexpected inspiration from Shakespeare's bloodiest plays — nobody escapes the nightmare of a psychotic killer.

The Silenced
Marena struggles to remember a time before the Zero Tolerance Party murdered her mother and put her father under house arrest — before listening devices filled every home and writing was outlawed. When the Minister of Education cracks down on her youth training facility, Marena forms her own resistance group: the White Rose. Drawing on the true story of Sophie Scholl, this is a thriller about using the power of art to fight back.

20th Anniversary Revised Edition
Morgan isn't merely bored — he feels invisible. Ignored by his parents, bullied at school, and boxed into a dreary tenement, he yearns for adventure and freedom. He has nothing except an extraordinary curiosity, courage, and the imagination to change. A tender, funny testament to following your heart, no matter what the world says.

"An engrossing and very human portrayal of such a fantastical subject." — American Booksellers Association
