I’m excited to share some great publishing news!

USA Today bestselling author Daniel G. Miller has a new thriller on the way. His upcoming novel, THE NEIGHBORHOOD EXPERIMENT, has just sold to Mary Altman at Poisoned Pen Press in a significant two-book deal, and I’m thrilled to have represented him in the negotiation.

The story follows a woman searching for her sister who infiltrates a billionaire’s desert “wellness utopia,” only to uncover a dangerous human experiment beneath the perfectly curated exterior. It’s tense, twisty, and impossible to put down.

Huge congratulations to Daniel and to the fantastic team at Poisoned Pen Press. More updates coming as this one moves closer to publication!
