I am thrilled to share I have 2 new books coming your way soon! It’s bit of a wait, but I promise—it’s so worth it to meet this cast of characters, this badass assassin (who happens to yes, be a woman, and also, a mom!). Insert some humor, lots of feminist hot takes, and a potentially deadly grandmother (gasp!), and you’ve got my book. I’ll keep you posted with details as I get them!

About Jessica

Jessica Payne is a psychological thriller author who has probably spent a little too much time studying the dark intricacies of the human mind. An expert coffee drinker, she loves to go on long runs to manage the resulting caffeine jolt. Jessica lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, daughter, and their many (many!) cats and dogs. Her forthcoming novel, Somebody Worth Killing, is coming from Berkley/PRH in 2026. Her other novels include Make Me Disappear, The Lucky One, The Good Doctor, and Never Trust the Husband.
