Meet Pip Drysdale

Things have not been going well for Zoe Ann Weiss. Once a young novelist full of promise, now she has a failed debut under her belt, a mountain of debt, a dead-end job, and an agent who's about to drop her if she doesn't write something new and brilliant soon.
Worst of all, she's blocked. Can't-write-a-word blocked. But all that changes one night when she runs into her old flame, Zach Hamilton. It's like no time has passed at all. They start casually dating, and Zach makes her feel like anything is possible. Like the stars have finally realigned themselves in her favour.
Best of all, her writer's block has disappeared.
The only issue is Zach isn't just some hot guy with a dream anymore. Now he's a movie star with billboards and PR people and fans and paprazzi... and even though they're dating in secret, Zoe soon finds herself splashed all over the press. Now everyone seems to know her name.
But the problem with everyone knowing your name is that everyone knows your name... including the stalker who's obsessed with Zach. The stalker who's re-enacting violent, creepy plot twists from Zoe's first exactly how she wrote them - except now, she's the victim.
Join the bestselling author of The Sunday Girl, The Strangers We Know and The Next Girl, Pip Drysdale as she shares her new dark and twisty thriller, The Close Up.
