Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your writing journey?
My writing journey began with my father, Sandy Millman. In 1998, he’d authored a guidebook to Broadway called “Seats: New York - 180 Seating plans to New York Metro Area Theatres, Concert Halls and Stadiums.” When he unexpectedly passed away, Hal Leonard Publishing asked me to promote the book and to continue the best-selling series in his absence. It has been a great honor and homage to my Dad to be able to continue his legacy.
Around 2010, the internet rendered the book obsolete, so I decided it was time to start the novel that I’d had brewing in my head for so long.
From that point through 2018, the road was bumpy. It took me about three or four years to write “The Midnight Call,” and like every writer, I received numerous agent rejections. In 2015, I was signed by an agency, but shortly thereafter, I lost my agent to an illness.
Then, in 2018, I finally I got a break. I entered #PitMad twitter contest, and was discovered by my publisher, Immortal Works. My publisher is very author-oriented, and have been wonderfully communicative and supportive throughout the publication process.
You never know what is waiting around the corner.
If you had to give an elevator pitch for The Midnight Call, what would it be?
A pregnant attorney unknowingly risks her career, her relationship, her life and unborn child to aid her mentor when he’s accused of murder.
