Cover Reveal: All the Blood We Share

I am so proud to share the stunning cover of my next historical murder book, ALL THE BLOOD WE SHARE!

The novel is about Kate Bender, who ran a deadly inn on the Kansas prairie together with her family.

I have rarely come across a historical character with more strange rumors attached to her name, and can’t wait for readers to meet my version of her.

Out November 22 from Berkley.

Interview with IndyStar

A little while back, I did an interview with the Indianapolis Star about
IN THE GARDEN OF SPITE, and they turned it into a glorious article about Belle and the book.

Since the real Belle Gunness lived — and murdered — in Indiana, it definitely felt like closing a circle.

Here is a quote:

Bruce’s novel does much more than merely set what’s already known about Gunness’ atrocities to a fictional tune. Instead, she imagines how Gunness — a rare female serial killer — might have justified her endeavor. The character is a potent combination of cold sociopath, unfailing pragmatist and unhealed victim.
