Last month I announced the upcoming March 2027 release of my new novel, and now I’m thrilled to reveal the cover for Dark Like a Lake.

In this dramatic and haunting work of historical literary fiction, you’ll meet various members of the indomitable Van Elms family as they move like storms through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, WWII, and beyond.

Stay tuned for all the latest, including the preorder launch in early 2027 by subscribing to The Schleicher Spin or following me on Threads, Instagram, FB, or BlueSky.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already, sample my back catalog of novels (Then Came Darkness and West Falls Revisited) and short story collections (And Then We Vanish and When We Come Back) and help spread the word.
