I’ve spent my life thinking about stories. Book banning doesn’t change what I write, but it reminds me why stories matter.
Thank you to the Freedom to Read fundraiser for City Council in Huntington Beach for inviting me to speak alongside Van Hoang, Erin Gruwell, and Billy Ray. And for supporting candidates who are united against bans.
The world needs more stories, not fewer.
I’ve spent my life believing in the power of stories.
As a journalist…
As a marketer…
And now as a novelist.
I’ve seen how stories shape businesses.
I’ve seen how they shape communities.
And I’ve seen how they shape us.
Books, by themselves, don’t change the world.
Readers do.
So yes, let’s protect the freedom to read.
But let’s do something even more important.
Let’s raise readers.
Because every child who falls in love with reading becomes an adult who knows how to imagine, to question, to empathize, and to think.
And I can’t imagine a better investment in our future than that.

Three bestselling authors. One mind-bending thriller.
People.com reveals the cover for Take Back the Night.
Fifteen years ago, a group of college girls known as the “Dead Air Five” exposed a campus predator on live radio, ending his reign of terror one dark, unforgettable night. When Jake vanished into the lake’s black water, the world called it justice. The girls called it freedom.
They were wrong.
Now, Meg, Leah and Wren are settled into the ordinary lives they worked hard to build. But their quiet normalcy is shattered when strange things begin happening–things only Jake would know. As chilling patterns begin to emerge, the three friends realize that the darkness they buried may have returned—against all logic and possibly the very limits of science. Threatening messages and impossible events compel the women to reunite, only to uncover a truth more dangerous than they imagined.
Take Back the Night is available for preorder now!
