Influences
This is so hard. I grew up reading mysteries, adored the works of Agatha Christie, Mary Renault and many others. As a novelist today I marvel at people like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Dennis Johnson, Kiran Desai and so forth, but I wouldn't call them influences. Except in that they inspire me to continue trying to be a better writer.
Upcoming Works
The Musician's Daughter, a YA novel about an aspiring violinist whose father--also a violinist and in Haydn's orchestra for Prince Esterhazy--is murdered. It takes place in Vienna in 1779.
