A woman wakes on a long-haul flight. Everyone else is unconscious. Black Circuit: Thread 72 is live as a serial release. Hop into the story for a free summer read, new chapters every couple weeks. First 5 are live now on my author site. If you love thrillers and are curious about the story I've dreamed up the past 8 years, have a look!

Fell asleep reading my own novel. Woke up laughing. Sent the first four chapters to my mom. #amwriting #jsgrantauthor

So obsessed with this story I made no progress on it for eight years.

Five non-fiction books. Had to set word count goals every time. Force myself through. This thriller is different. The characters show up uninvited. In the shower. At the gym. At 3 AM. I have to work to turn it off.

70 countries. Hundreds of hours on long-haul flights. Every one of them taught me something about what happens to people in a confined space for 10 hours.

She hunts crabs. I talk through scenes. Neither of us thinks this is weird.

6 AM. First light on the water. The island before anyone else is awake.

Writing this book has brought me to tears multiple times. Made me laugh. Given me goosebumps. I'm discovering how the emotions land as I write it. As a non-fiction writer crossing over into the thriller genre, this caught me completely off guard -- in a powerful way.

Private pilot. Advanced upset prevention and recovery training. 400 hours studying for EASA airline transport exams — passed four, was sitting for five more when I decided to move to Thailand and write instead. My first thriller is set on a long-haul flight. The cockpit scenes will be accurate. #amwriting

@mharlowwrites Mine is a 3-year-old child who gifts a stranger something during a crisis with zero awareness of what is happening around them. That one scene indeed earned lifelong rent in my head. “Hurts in the best way” - that sings, now I’m curious…

Promised my mom eight years ago I'd write this novel. She locked in more than I did. Every year, a nudge. I finally moved to an island to get in the space I needed to write it. And just sent her the first four chapters. Got a ways to go, but a priceless moment.

Five non-fiction books. Had to set daily word count goals every time. First thriller: the characters show up at 3 AM uninvited. I have to force myself to stop writing. I've cried writing scenes. Got goosebumps from a connection between chapters I didn't plan. Laughed out loud at a character convo I heard in my head. The jump to fiction lit me up.
