–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Annie is nine months pregnant.

She’s shopping for a crib at IKEA.

That’s when the massive earthquake hits.

There’s nothing to do but walk.

Annie is 37 weeks pregnant, standing in IKEA, finally about to take home the crib she should have bought months ago. That’s when it happens – the long-anticipated Cascadia Earthquake, dismantling the East Coast of America in a matter of minutes.

Propulsive, disruptive, funny, terrifying, Tilt is a novel about how the foundations of our lives are built and shaken. About a woman trying to walk back to the husband she’s long been pushing away. About put-off dreams and inevitability and what makes us keep moving forward.
