I’ve been seeing a lot of fire lookout tower videos and think it’s such a cool environment for a thriller or horror novel #mswl

With all this snow, I would love to find a locked-room thriller in the middle of a blizzard, or a mountaineering thriller where the characters get trapped on a mountain #mswl

For thrillers, I love complicated family dynamics, twisted female friendships, and tense mother daughter relationships.
I like dual POV or time periods- think THE SUNDOWN MOTEL. Big fan of Lucy Foley and Wendy Walker. Would love to see more locked room thrillers as well.

I acquire a few genres between our two imprints, but to break it down:

Crooked Lane:
thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
historical fiction, magical realism, speculative fiction, romcoms, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.
