My current fiction project is a literary noir set in contemporary Seattle.

 

An unknown, impoverished poet becomes obsessed with the unsolved disappearance of a wealthy botanist enmeshed in Cold War intrigue.

 

An ex-radical finds work serving drinks to billionaires and homework help to their spoiled, brilliant offspring. When her most precocious pupils go missing, she must find them in a race against the clock, the police, a powerful hedge fund, and her own past.
