I write for adults and for kids.

For adults, I write thrillers. For kids and teens, I write books about things that often get short shrift in everyday life: money, memories, feelings. Both take their readers seriously, whether they’re eight or eighty.

Near-future thriller

PRÄGUNG

Nobody broke in. And yet her machine is writing sentences no one ever said.

Lara Voss has bet everything on a single system, one that captures not what a person thinks, but how. Nine days before the presentation that will decide her company’s fate, it starts putting out things nobody ever entered. A novel about trust, identity, and a technology that is getting closer to us than we’d like. It stands on its own and is not part of the Lena Voss series.
