My debut novel I’M THE UNDERTOW is now up on Netgalley!

It’s a story about guilt, grief and the unexpected places we go to find redemption.

Request away! 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

Book on a brown table. The book is dark blue with various curvy lines (shades of blue and beige) weaving throughout. The title in the middle reads I’M THE UNDERTOW. The author’s name at an angle in the bottom right corner reads Eric Scot Tryon.

Just finished WE USED TO LIVE HERE 😱

I hadn’t read anything from the horror genre since Stephen King in high school, but this was such chilling-good fun!!

After finishing several intense rounds of edits with my fantastic editor, I think all the words in my book are now set! 😬

But working with an editor as brilliant as Jess was so awe-inspiring and quite humbling (like really, how many “just”s does one book need, Eric?!)
