Several years ago I was at a workshop and doing an exercise on visualization. The exercise was to imagine ourselves on a beach and then let our minds wander from there. I saw a young woman coming over the rise. In my visualization, she turned to the side, and I saw that she was pregnant. The name Mallory McGill popped into my head. That night I had a dream and in my dream, I was walking on a boardwalk. It was misty, drizzling, and the sky was a dreary grey. No one else was around. I had an eerie sensation. Then I thought, Mallory is involved in some sort of a mystery. That was the beginning of my latest book, In the Shadow of the Wonder Wheel.

When Mallory awakens with no baby, blood on her hands, and a suddenly empty womb, the police assume she’s disposed of her unborn child. But she knows she never would have. Now she has to dodge suspicious cops, blood-thirsty killers, and mysterious relatives to find her baby before it’s too late. Street-wise Moses is her only ally as she attempts to regain her memories while chasing through the seedier side of New York’s former beachside playground, Coney Island.
