She’s On To Something

A debut novel by Sandy Bailey

When hard-charging lesbian SEC prosecutor Jaye Brannigan stumbles onto a church-based investment scam draining millions from working-class families, she knows the case could make—or end—her career. Queer, outspoken, and already targeted by a hostile administration, Jaye follows the money from Boston to New Mexico, uncovering a web of religious patriarchy, financial fraud, and offshore secrets. As the danger mounts, so does the temptation to guard her heart—especially when a magnetic woman pulls her toward connection just as everything else threatens to unravel. A sharp, sapphic romantic thriller about justice, power, desire, and refusing to stay quiet in a world built to silence you.


Coming October 13, 2026

Praise for She’s On To Something

“It's impossible not to love courageous butch Jaye Brannigan . . . a page-turner of the best sort."

– Ann Aptaker

Lambda Literary and Goldie award-winning author of the Cantor Gold series

“Bailey achieves what good literature strives for: a story that is contemporary, reflective, and satisfying, with the tension that keeps the reader totally engaged. I couldn't stop reading."

– Mimi Gonzalez

Poet, comic, and LGBTQ+ firebrand

“This book pulled me in, made me want to solve a crime, and go dancing with a sexy woman. I loved the representations of Butch/femmes, theys, and thems. A wonderfully queer cast of characters all felt like people I've met and want to know more about. Bailey's writing builds as much tension in financial crimes as the potential romance. A triumph!"
