Maryland

In the vein of The Couple Next Door, a debut psychological thriller about a woman who moves with her family to the gothic seaside house where her husband grew up--and where 15 years ago another family was brutally slaughtered. Sarah and Patrick are happy. But after her mother's death, Sarah spirals into depression and overdoses on sleeping pills. While Sarah claims it was an accident, her teenage children aren't so sure. Patrick decides they all need a fresh start and he knows just the place, since the idyllic family home where he was raised has recently come up for sale. There's only one catch: for the past fifteen years, it has become infamous as the "Murder House", standing empty after a family was stabbed to death within its walls. Patrick believes they can bring the house back to its former glory, so Sarah, uprooted from everything she knows, pours her energy into painting, gardening, and giving the rotting old structure the warmth of home. But with locals hinting that the house is haunted, the news that the murderer has been paroled, strange writing on the walls, and creepy "gifts" arriving on the doorstep at odd hours, Sarah can't shake the feeling that something just isn't right. Not with the house, not with the town, or even with her own, loving husband--whose stories about his perfect childhood suddenly aren't adding up. Can Sarah uncover the secrets of the Murder House before another family is destroyed?

Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer is a slyly observed, suspenseful story of envy and obsession, told in the mesmerizing, irresistible voice of a character who will make you doubt that seeing is ever believing. Delta Dawn comes from humble beginnings, but in her work as a photographer for the children’s parties of New York’s elite she is used to moving, unnoticed, through their luxurious homes. As she observes their seemingly perfect lives, she adds to this veneer by transforming the images of their crying children, stiff hugs and unsmiling faces—editing the images to make sure the parents see the party they want. The party they may later, looking at the pictures, believe really happened that way. When Delta is hired to take pictures of Natalie Straub’s 11th birthday, she finds herself wishing she wasn’t behind the lens. She would fit so well in the pictures with the Straub family, wouldn’t she, in their gorgeous home, their elegant life? This time editing the pictures isn’t enough. Delta begins by babysitting for Natalie, befriending her mother Amelia, finding chances to listen to her father Fritz; soon she’s bathing in the master bathtub, drinking their expensive wine, and eyeing the beautifully finished—and currently occupied—garden apartment in their townhouse. It seems like she can never get close enough. Until Delta discovers the one thing Amelia Straub wants most is also the perfect way for Delta to become permanently a part of the picture.

An Interview with August Birch:

How did you get started? "My journey isn't a traditional one. I've written since I was a kid, but started my writing career with non-fiction and penned over a dozen books under a pseudonym. The world of fiction came later. I wrote more than two million words of non-fiction before I found my calling writing thrillers at age thirty-nine."

Who are your influences? "My reading is very eclectic. When I was younger I read a lot of the Beats--Jack Kerouac, Allan Ginsburg, William Burroughs, and others. Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Raymond Chandler, and Craig Johnson all had a large influence on my writing style. I also appreciate dirty realism from authors like Charles Bukowski. I'm a real mutt when it comes to reading and I think those influences are a direct reflection in the way I write."

Where do you get your ideas? "Ahh, the magic question. That's kind of like asking where do leprechauns hide their gold. I get kernels of ideas from news stories, movies, and television. I write them down, let them percolate in my head, and the book ides usually come when I'm not forcing it--like when I'm walking the dog or taking a shower."

How would you describe your writing style? "I'd say my style is choppy and conversational. I break a lot of grammar rules in order to paint the best picture I can. When people speak they say more with their behavior than they do with words. I try to reflect this in my dialogue. I try not to be pretentious with my word choices and I use as little description as possible. I put the reader to work."

What is your writing process? "I try to write every day. If I don't write every day I start to lose the thread of the story. I do my best work early in the morning, but I'll write during the day, whenever I can steal a moment to hit my daily word count. I use a digital recorder while I'm driving."

What else should we know about you? "My books are written as a fun escape. I try not to take my writing too seriously. I'm not building rockets. I just want is to tell a good story."
