So thrilled to be working with Jo Stapley!! I was hooked from the very first line of her delightfully witty mystery/thriller, MOTHER-IN-LAW SETTLES THE SCORE. Nothing draws me into a story faster than voice, and, Jo, you have KILLED it (pun intended)!!!

My MSWL: While I have a particular soft spot for hilarious rom coms and twisty suspense/thrillers, the main things that draw me into a story are strong voice and deep, immersive POV, regardless of genre or age group. Those two factors are what make a book unputdownable for me. #roundtablementor

Picture: A woman playing a cello with hair flowing

Words: NIGHT BIRD
An Adult Romantic Fantasy
The Bargainer x The Lost Apothecary x Six of Crows
Ava can become invisible and walk through walls but can’t escape her warded cage. Destined to become a courtesan and spy, she breaks free with the help of a boy, Zev, who then disappears.

Eight years later, she reinvents herself as Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. She and her misfit gang find themselves in the crosshairs of a shadowy man, who turns out to be Zev. It’s unclear if he’s friend or foe.

When she takes on her biggest target—the last man to see her mother alive—Zev may be the only person keeping her from going up in flames.

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?
