A finalist for the Mary Higgins Clark Award, “Come and Find Me” tells the story of a recluse who works and lives online must brave the “real world” when her sister goes missing. By assuming the identity of her alter-ego, an avatar who is as fearless as Diana herself once was, she finds the courage to set out.
But soon she finds herself wondering: Has she become a character in someone else’s game?
A finalist for the Mary Higgins Clark award and winner of the David award for best mystery of 2010, “Never Tell a Lie” tells of a young couple who are about to have their first child. A woman from their past shows up at their yard sale. She goes inside their house, and she never comes out.
Relentlessly fast-paced and disturbingly creepy, NEVER TELL A LIE is a page-turning thrill ride about how well we know the people we love, and how far we are willing to go to protect the secrets of our past.
Hallie Ephron’s how-to book about writing a mystery, “Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel: How to Knock ‘Em Dead with Style,” has become a classic in the field. A finalist for the Edgar and Anthony awards, it takes the writer from developing a premise, to staking out a plot, to writing a blueprint, crafting a dramatic opening, and on through writing and revising, and finding a publisher. Worksheets and guides are provide for every step along the way.
I’m delighted to talk to book groups, in person or via Skype or gmail video chat. Email me (Hallie@HALLIEEPHRON.com) to arrange a time that works for us all.
