Author Interview - Katie Sise
Author of Open House
“A decade ago in upstate New York, art student Emma McCullough walked into the woods and was never seen again. It's a mystery that still haunts her bucolic university town and her broken family, especially her sister, Haley, whose need for closure has become an obsession. When a woman is attacked during an open house, the connections between two crimes, ten winters apart, being to surface. So do the secrets that run as deep and dark as the currents in this quiet river town.”
