Synopsis:

WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE. STOP DIGGING.
Freshman year, Ace Li kissed his best friend, Akash Patel. The next day, Akash moved away without a word―and Ace was so brokenhearted he stopped eating.
It took years for Ace to recover, but he’s finally stable again. Ace drinks his protein shakes, swims every morning, and might even win the debate competition this year. He’s good. He’s forgotten that kiss―at least, that’s what he tells himself. Then Ace hears the news: Akash is back.
Akash has returned because his mother, the world-famous investigative journalist Radhika Malhotra, is missing, and she was last seen in this town. Ace tries to stay away, but the second he sees Akash, the feelings he’s suppressed bubble back to the surface. Then Ace happens upon some notes―notes about what Akash’s mother was investigating. If he retraces her steps, he might be able to find her. And if he does, maybe Akash will give him another chance.
As Ace follows Radhika’s trail, his stable life begins to crumble. He stops eating, and he starts receiving threatening, anonymous messages. If he goes public with what happened to Radhika and why, his entire town will have to pay the consequences. Winning Akash’s heart might cost Ace everything, but maybe that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

About the Author:

I’m an award-winning journalist, editor, and writing instructor whose work has appeared in publications including The Verge and Business Insider. All pronouns are acceptable.
I grew up in Lakeville, Connecticut, known locally as “the middle of the woods.” I graduated from Brown University with honors in Literary Arts/Creative Writing, and have worked as a technology and business journalist ever since. My work has brought me to New York City, back to Lakeville, and then to South Korea, where I currently reside with my partner and cat. Along the way, I’ve anchored news for KBS World Radio and appeared as a regular voice on tech podcasts and panels.
Don’t Print This, a queer YA mystery from Page Street YA, is my debut novel. The story grew out of many things: a lifelong passion for children’s literature, a newfound appreciation for my rural upbringing after a decade of big city life, and years inside newsrooms, where I came to deeply value the necessity—but also the costs—of telling the truth.
