LAST GIRLS VIRTUAL LAUNCH PARTY

Please Join me for the Virtual Launch Event of LAST GIRLS, hosted by Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore San Diego. https://www.mystgalaxy.com/Brodsky-05-2020

LAST GIRLS is a novel about sisterhood, survival, and family secrets set in the world of Doomsday Preppers. Three sisters raised as doomsday preppers face a different kind of threat when one sister's actions draw unwanted attention to the secret compound where they live. As the group leader's erratic actions increase, they will have to decide if it's better to run or take their chances against the people sworn to protect them.

In Demetra Brodsky’s arresting Dive Smack, Theo Mackey only remembers one thing for certain about the fire that destroyed his home: he lit the match. Gretchen McNeil (Ten) calls the debut novel, “A tense psychological drama with a voice that pulls you in and a twist you won’t see coming.” “Strong characters and a compelling mystery make this a real page-turner,” effuses Publishers Weekly. And Booklist raves, “Brodsky’s debut combines an engaging school story, filled with best friend shenanigans, first love, and a fascinating look at competitive diving, with a tense psychological mystery.” Demetra will join us in September to discuss her path to publication, and the bumpy journey that’s followed.
