Meet Desiree, A New Heroine Who Proves That History Makes the Best Fiction

What’s next? The book is outta the bag thanks to this morning’s announcement on Publisher’s Lunch!

Image1I have been so excited to share this news, and now I can’t wait to share my next book, this one on Desiree Clary.

I’ll hit the ground on edits right after the New Year and I could not be more excited to be working with Kara once more and the knockout team at Ballantine / Random House.

I’m so excited for all of you to meet Desiree. I think you are going to like her, and her fascinating, little-known story proves that history makes for the best fiction.
