“Before the enemy attacks harder, it gives its opponent something invisible but powerful. It is called hope.” – Britney King, Fe ver Dream

First things first, I’ve been so pleased with how well The Secretary has done. More than a month after release, she’s still sitting pretty in the top 20. Thank you for that!

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time in 1962, which feels a bit like living in a parallel universe. It’s been so fun writing a thriller set in another time, a time long before I was thought of. Being that this is my 21st novel, I wanted something new and different, a challenge. I found it, loved it, and I think you will too.

Fever Dream releases 04/22/2022.

I can’t wait for you to read it.

In the meantime, I’ll be here in Texas rooting for you.

The bestselling author of the “clever spine-tingler” The Secretary returns with an unputdownable thriller following a woman in a desperate search for answers after she’s institutionalized against her will.

The year is 1962, and every night Grace lays her head on her pillow at the Texas State Lunatic Hospital, she reminds herself she is not what they say she is.

Her children and her husband are not dead. They’re searching for her.

Someone knows the truth.

Strangely, that someone is hell-bent on making sure the truth stays buried.

The question is…why?

Meanwhile, Grace has bigger fish to fry, starting with her new roommate.

Elizabeth is certifiable, and she has star status—a deadly combination, Grace realizes.

The kind of woman who has everyone in the palm of her hand, Elizabeth gives even the most menacing of nurses a run for their money, takes bad intentions to a whole new level, and makes crazy look seductive as hell.

Grace learns fast: the best way to deal with lunacy is to befriend it. It may be her only ticket out. She also learns there’s more to her new bunkmate than meets the eye. She’s vile, she’s cunning—and possibly faking it.

The question is…why?

With riveting twists and a breakneck pace, Fever Dream is a propulsive thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
