Tell us what we need to know about By A Thread.
Stella’s future was set, and it was a bright one. She was engaged to a man she adored, and was headed to law school in the fall. Tragically, her perfectly planned future ends just as it was beginning.

With no ties to family or friends, Stella finds herself alone in a new city, spiraling out of control. Her typical day comes to a close with her passed out on the floor; sometimes clothed.

Luckily, her new roommate, essentially a stranger, is dead set on getting Stella past her grief and back to functioning within society. Putting one foot in front of the other, she climbs up from the bottom of a bottle. Even with all her progress, Stella walks through life unfeeling, numb. Defiant, she sends out warning signals for the world to keep away. But, is that what she really wants?

With the steadfast help of a few tightknit friends, she gradually begins to feel again. She starts to savor the flavor of food again; lets herself notice how the handsome bartender glances at her. Still, after allowing herself a fling, she wonders if she will ever be able to let go of her shattered past, fully enjoy the present, or get over what she thought would be her perfect future and with the man who destroyed her heart.

What genre is it?
New adult.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
It has broad appeal, but those that like an interesting cast of characters and a story that revolves around a young woman trying to make her way through tragedy.

Complete this sentence for us: if you like _________________, you’ll love my book.
If you like The Opportunist, you’ll love my book. (I hope!)

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
I wrote Under Glass that was published in 2004, but I am currently in the editing another book that will be out in late May.  Title to be determined.
