I'm so thrilled to see my genre-blending thriller, just released last week, on some "most anticipated" reading lists for the fall!
Featured on Skimm
I’ve been an avid reader of theSkimm for nearly a decade, so suffice it to say it made my week when I saw With Regrets featured on their list of bingeable reads heading into this fall!

I was also thrilled to see the novel featured on SheReads’ list of Most Anticipated Sci-Fi and Fantasy (this novel has been described as suspense, thriller, sci-fi, and speculative fiction– oh, and horror, haha! Truly a genre-blender!)
With Regrets was also featured on round-ups from Gizmodo and Locus Magazine, in addition to Book Riot, which dubbed the title a best new release!

With Regrets chosen as Best Book of the Week on Shelf Awareness
This review from Shelf Awareness absolutely made my day with one of my favorite pull quotes ever:
“This sharply observed survival drama--imagine that Liane Moriarty wrote The Stand--is urgent, biting, and surprisingly optimistic.”
I am a HUGE fan of Liane Moriarty (and Stephen King for that matter!!) and the note about optimism was exactly what I was attempting to do with the story, despite how dark and grim it may seem on first blush. The publication also chose WITH REGRETS as a best book of the week!
