The Longest Shortest Time

WEDLOCKED: a women’s health audio thriller!

Hi friends! I have something very exciting to share with you. For the last few years, I’ve been working on my original audiobook, Wedlocked, and it will be coming to your ears on October 20th, so I want to tell you a little more about it. But you don’t need to wait to order the book! You can pre-order now on any audiobook app.

Okay, now for some FAQ.

What genre is this book?
It’s a feminist thriller!

Feminist thriller? What does that mean?
Wedlocked is a thriller about the pressure on women to smile through pain, both physical and emotional. There’s gaslighting, gynecology, fraught conversations about pregnancy, and a big, shocking twist that’ll change the way you think about women’s health. Or, perhaps, reaffirm it. Anyway, if you like LST, this book is totally up your alley!

Can you tell me more about the plot?
Sure! This story follows Zara, a fitness instructor at a wildly popular fitness app called UpLift, which was created by her husband, Ezzie. As she approaches her 40th birthday, Zara feels her biological clock ticking and desperately wants a baby. Ezzie says he wants to wait a little longer — but Zara’s not sure how much time she’s got left. When Zara starts to get some scary health symptoms, she mysteriously becomes happy. Like, over the top happy. Maybe she doesn’t want a baby, after all. But when her old flame, Oscar, comes back into her life, he drives Zara to question whether there’s something sinister behind her perpetual smile.

Wait, can I only get Wedlocked in audio?
That’s right! For now, this book is exclusively available in audio. Which is cool because there’s a cast of four actors (Helen Laser, Fred Berman, Alexis Campbell, Ian Guerra), who I got to direct! There’s also some amazing custom music, which adds to the creepy factor.

Why did you write this book for audio?
With a protagonist who’s a fitness instructor and influencer, I thought it would be cool to hear Zara livestreaming fitness classes and behind-the-scenes moments with her husband. Emotion is very important to this story, so I really wanted listeners to hear the difference between Zara’s public self and private self. Plus, you get to hear flirty texts from Oscar, and the actor who plays him has an incredible sultry voice.

Sounds amazing! Where can I get Wedlocked?
Anywhere you get audiobooks! Pre-order now so it shows up in your app as soon as it drops! (Or, if you’re reading this after October 20, 2026, it’s available to you now!)
