Thank you, Angela, for the
opportunity to introduce readers to my next release. SMILODON is due out the second week in October, and is what I term
a creature thriller. I’ve always found the subgenre entertaining and the
stories—whether in book version or movie—never fail to capture the public’s
attention. Popular examples are JAWS,
the ALIEN movies, RELIC, JURRASIC PARK
Since publishing THE UNNATURAL, my first creature
thriller, I’ve been dying (pun only intended) to pen another one. SMILODON is my terrestrial JAWS so to speak. I’m excited about this
one. Like the huge prehistoric predator in the story, this book will grab on to
the reader and not let go. The story blurb is a giant cat terrorizes a small
town in the Pacific Northwest .
I’m thrilled to give your
readers a sneak peak at the cover art and synopsis for SMILODON. Hope you enjoy
it.
Synopsis
Seven years after
a near-fatal mauling by a grizzly bear, in which his only son was killed, Jason
Bristol, a one time prize-fighter and expert animal tracker, is back in the
woods tracking again--when he’s not nursing the nearest fifth of whiskey.
Then Jason’s best friend and mentor is
discovered half-buried beneath a mat of pine needles. The prospector’s mangled corpse has been
mauled virtually beyond recognition. A
rancher loses a prize thoroughbred and suddenly the nightmare responsible for
Jason’s downward spiral is rekindled as Jason is thrust back into the wilderness
on the trail of a predator that defies belief.
The time clock has begun for Norah Phelps,
too, daughter of multimillionaire real estate developer Richard Phelps whose
recent purchase of the 95,000 acre former Clarksdale Animal Preserve has pitted
environmentalist and wildlife biologist daughter against capitalist
father. Norah, responsible for
relocating the local wolf population, remains unconvinced a pack of marauding
wolves are accountable for the attacks and enlists Jason’s help in her quest for
the real killer before the spate of killings can jeopardize not only her future
but also the future of her father’s prize development project.
Against the majestic pristine backdrop of Idaho
Smilodon. A saber-toothed cat. He’s angry, he’s frightened, he’s hungry, and
he’s 12,000 years from home.
Look for SMILODON this October at an ebook store
near you!
