“Hooked me from the first page.”
—Michelle Brafman, author of Swimming with Ghosts

“An electrifying tale of grit, heart, and unshakable resolve. . . . [Pickett's] words don't just tell a story—they pull you in, wrap around your heart, and linger long after the last page.”
—Midwest Book Review

Gillian McAllister on a new trend in fiction, film, & TV: women at the center of traditionally male action thrillers. "in focussing on female protagonists, the writing becomes more emotional in tone and the stakes different in interesting and surprising ways."

How Women Are Upending the Action Thriller https://crimereads.com/how-women-are-upending-the-action-thriller/

If I start talking about women’s issues1 I will quickly become angry and depressed. So instead, here are a few of my free-to-read stories that feature women:

Teens: “Between the Storms”

Moms: “Changeling”

Professionals: “Digital Pyre” and “5:37”

Widows: “On the Beach” and “Lakeside”

Okay, Mastodon, help me out. I want to find characters like Cordelia Naismith from Louis McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series.

Female protagonist in her 30s, action vibes, political intrigue vibes, strong M/F romance arc; a bit of life philosophy, castles, and/or spaceships for good measure.
