Entry updated 2 November 2026. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US journalist and author whose first novel, the Young-Adult Out of Air (2025), carries its scuba-diving protagonists Under the Sea to a cave where they are mysteriously infected (or perhaps transformed) (see Horror in SF) by a presence, or entity, within the benthos. Her second novel, Seconds to Spare (2026), also young-adult, visits the Time-Loop topos: caught in a loop on a plane about to crash, the young protagonist must discover and navigate an exit from her fate.
