Listen to my first podcast interview!
Last year, I took part in Savannah Gilbo's Notes to Novel course, and thanks to her great program, I now have a finished manuscript in my hands! So Savannah invited me and four other students to be guests on her podcast, where we discussed the lessons we've learned from the course.

Death’s Visage
Meet Máté Nádasdy, a fresh face in the staid world of 19th century detectives.
At thirty-three, Máté has already lived a full and conflicted life during the time the Habsburgs ruled Hungary. After a troubled childhood, he’d served his country in battle, lived abroad in Paris, and now finds himself the owner of a popular coffeehouse on the Champs-Élysées of Budapest, Andrássy Avenue, where he hopes to live out a peaceful, if mundane, life of as a café proprietor.
When a precious artifact is stolen from an aging baron, Máté is hired to find it despite his reluctance to be involved in anything beyond his coffeehouse; but when he discovers the mask may carry a curse, he must commit to finding the object before the baron dies.
