Seven years of working in Hollywood—from acting to producing to reality TV—has given me an instinctively cinematic frame of mind when it comes to writing. Before I begin any scene, I storyboard it in my head, picturing the angles, the lighting, and the atmosphere. That’s why this teaser for my upcoming thriller, White Rabbit, feels so perfect to me; not only does it tap into the filmic nature of my thought process, but it crackles with the same dark tension I worked to put into my tale of murder, mayhem, and make-outs. In only a couple more weeks, my second novel will be out in the world, and I can hardly wait. In the meantime, I hope this clip whets your appetite…

White Rabbit by Caleb Roehrig

Rufus Holt is having the worst night of his life. It begins with the reappearance of his ex-boyfriend, Sebastian—the guy who stomped his heart out like a spent cigarette. Just as Rufus is getting ready to move on, Sebastian turns up out of the blue, saying they need to "talk." Things couldn’t get worse, right?

Then Rufus gets a call from his sister April, begging for help. He and Sebastian find her, drenched in blood and holding a knife beside the dead body of her boyfriend, Fox Whitney.

April swears she didn’t kill Fox. Rufus knows her too well to believe she’s telling him the whole truth, but April has something he needs. Her price is his help. Now, with no one to trust but the boy he wants to hate yet can’t stop loving, Rufus has one night to clear his sister’s name . . . or die trying.
