Death squads, drug lords, homeless kids, and one woman vigilante: an explosive mix on the streets of Rio. |
The German paperback edition of Strays of Rio — Die Streuner von Rio — is now available via amazon.de and all other amazon stores.
| Lisa Kerry witnesses a private death squad attack street kids close to her bookstore. When the police take no action, she vows to purge Rio of the ruthless killers. To keep him out of the line of fire, she must quell her affection for the one man cut out to exorcise the demons of her past. Drawing strength and rage from the abuse she suffered as a young girl in a juvenile detention center, Lisa closes in on her marks. Unable to get to the rich and powerful leader of the recreational killers, she enlists the older brother of one of her street urchin friends—a drug lord. Lisa’s pursuit of justice spirals into a violent struggle to survive, for herself, her young charges, and the man she loves. |
The English version can be purchased at all major online bookstores, for example amazon.com.
Psychological Suspense unfolding in Chile’s Atacama Desert
|
Lara, a workaholic from Seattle, loses her job, drowns her frustrations in scotch, and books a trip to Chile. Instead of facing her messed up life, she escapes to South America and hooks up with a backpacker, whose bag of tricks conveniently distracts her.
Hauling freight along the same route, trucker Enrique battles the loneliness of the Atacama Desert, imagining his wife by his side. If only she’d stop urging him to come home. With growing unease, he sets off on the return trip. When his path crosses Lara’s, the impact knocks them both off their errant tracks to face real life. |
Intrigued? Read an excerpt at the publisher’s site: MuseItUp Publishing.
This novel was inspired by a real accident my partner and I had toward the end of a fantastic road trip through the Atacama Desert in 2008. We actually made the front page in a local newspaper. The star of this adventure was certainly our rented X-Trail. To find out more, see my guest post at Rosalie Skinner’s blog.
Only ten days until the release of Crumple Zone. In case you feel like snatching a sneak preview of the location, I’ve uploaded photos of the actual Chile trip on flickr.com. Here’s one of my favorites of our hero, the X-Trail:

I’m getting excited. Only three weeks until the release of my psychological suspense Crumple Zone set in Chile. Check out the book at MuseItUp Publishing, where you can read an excerpt.
When Chilean trucker Enrique bumps into jobless workaholic Lara, he thwarts her flight from life and his escape from reality.

Yesterday, after much polishing, I published Die Streuner von Rio, my German translation of Strays of Rio, as ebook via neobooks.com. I’m excited. Within a few days, the book should be available at all major ebook sellers in Europe.
Death squads, drug lords, homeless kids, and one woman vigilante: an explosive mix on the streets of Rio. |
Now that I’ve finished translating Strays of Rio and polished the German text as much as I can, I guess it’s time to add German content to my website. Notice the Languages drop-down menu in the top right corner? I’ve already translated most pages but there still some work to do. To my surprise, I’m actually enjoying it.
Strays of Rio has been nominated for the Preditors & Editors Readers’ Poll in the thriller category.
Any fans out there? Your vote is much appreciated. Winning this Readers’ Poll would certainly make for a great start to the Year 2013. Voting ends on January 14.
Don’t overlook the spam protection feature above the ‘Submit vote’ button, or you’ll be told that you ain’t human. I’m sure you don’t want to face such horrible truths.
