Out October 20, 2026, Pre Order now
An historical fiction suspense novel set in London, Amsterdam and Paris in 1888, amid the Whitechapel murders.
Cora Wexford paints the dead. An American outsider in Chelsea, London, she's built a quiet, hard-won life with a gift for reading the truth of a person from the smallest details they leave behind. Then Miles Vale walks into her birthday party: warm, devoted, impossibly attentive. But the closer he draws, the less clearly she can see him. As a killer stalks the women of the East End and Cora paints unnamed victims the city would rather forget, she begins to suspect that murder isn't the only way someone can be made to disappear. As her world unravels, the truth itself becomes the one thing nobody will believe.
DINNER FOR VAMPIRES:
LIFE ON A CULT TV SHOW, WHILE ALSO IN AN ACTUAL CULT
An “incredible” (Alex Cooper,Call Her Daddy), “riveting” (People) New York Times bestselling memoir byOne Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. Dinner for Vampires spent several weeks on the NYT Bestseller list, was a Book-of-the-Month pick, and was named one of Time's Must Read's of 2024. The audiobook, which Lenz narrates, was the Best of 2024 for Spotify, Amazon and Audible.
In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to break through as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit dramaOne Tree Hill. Her acting career was set to soar, but her personal life was beginning to unravel in ways her fans could never imagine. Unknown to the millions of viewers and even her costars, Lenz led a secret double life within a cult.
As an only child seeking belonging, Lenz thought she found a safe haven in a Bible study group with fellow Hollywood creatives. However, the group morphed into something more sinister—a web of manipulation and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz surrendered her autonomy, eventually moving to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound overseen by a domineering minister who convinced her to marry his son and secretly drained millions from her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”—inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal.
Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to escape and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help from a devoted One Tree Hill fan), she broke free from the family’s grip, beginning her healing journey from deep trauma that reshaped her faith and identity.
Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is a “tart, refreshing” (The New York Times Book Review) story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.
