Release day for SUMMIT'S EDGE, plus LOCKDOWN is on sale!

/

It's release day for SUMMIT'S EDGE! **throws confetti** I'm happy this book is now out in the world as I know many of you have been eagerly waiting for Meg and Hawk's next adventure.

Meg and Hawk are deployed to Colorado with Brian and Lacey to team up with local FBI agents and Mountain Rescue Aspen to search for a downed, hijacked plane in hopes of not only finding innocent survivors, but also of finding the man responsible for the crisis. Fan favourites Todd Webb and Clay McCord lend their help remotely—Todd sharing his medical experience to save lives; McCord hot on the investigative trail to figure out the motive behind the hijacking—all while the on-site teams try to navigate the fatal dangers of scaling a 14,000-foot mountain. It's an understatement to say this deployment is terrifying for Meg, who has to battle her fear of heights from the moment they set foot in Colorado. Not to mention that behind the deployment is a ticking clock—can Meg make it back to DC in time for her imminent wedding to Todd?

Early readers have raved about SUMMIT'S EDGE:
Mystery and Suspense Magazine: “Fantastic and suspenseful, this tense, engaging, suspenseful, and tragic mystery gripped me from the beginning. It was difficult to put down.”
Red Book Reviews: “An amazing read with suspense, teamwork, K-9s and so much more. I loved this book a lot and would recommend it to any reader especially if you love a good mystery or suspense book.”
Author Kim Davis: "With a fast pace that kept me engaged, I couldn’t put the book down until I’d read to the very end. If you enjoy tense, suspenseful books with a strong female protagonist and DOGS, do yourself a favor and read this one!"
Aunt Agatha’s: “Sara Driscoll writes in such a way that readers won’t be able to put the book down until they know Meg, Hawk, and any survivors there may be are all home safe and sound, and if the hijacker is brought to justice.”

SUMMIT'S EDGE Sneak Peek and a Cover Reveal for SHADOW PLAY!

/

Here we are, just a little over a week away from the release of FBI K-9s #9, SUMMIT'S EDGE and I have some real goodies for you all.

First up... SUMMIT'S EDGE. When we last left Meg and Todd at the end of THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE, they were in the middle of wedding planning. Now, a few months later, their wedding is in only two weeks. But that doesn't mean Meg can't be sent thousands of miles away for an extremely dangerous deployment. That's exactly what happens when a private jet is hijacked and goes down on a towering Colorado mountain. Meg, Brian, and their dogs, Hawk and Lacey, are sent west with the high-pressure task of finding a downed plane in treacherous conditions, saving any survivors, bringing the person responsible to justice... and making it back to D.C. on time and in one piece for Meg to be the bride and for Brian to officiate the ceremony.

Next, I'm excited to show you the brand new cover and copy for SHADOW PLAY, next August's standalone thriller. I'd like to introduce you all to Krista Evans, who, with her best friend Hailey Swanson, hosts a Twitch advice stream called A Word From The Wise. But when a stalker shows up in their community chat, things go seriously off the rails...

In this timely and terrifying thriller from the author of the popular FBI K-9 novels, a woman with a side gig offering relationship advice on Twitch learns just how dangerous online anonymity can be . . .
 
Chicago physical therapist Krista Evans finds that her clients rely on her life and love advice just as much as on her hands-on work, so why not share it on the live-streaming platform Twitch? Her friend Hailey Swanson, an inveterate gamer, is willing to help Krista build her presence and cohost a biweekly show. A Word From The Wise is born . . .
 
Taking real-time questions from chat participants proves more popular than Krista thought possible, and their follower count—and income—grow. But not all attention is wanted, as she soon discovers. An account with the username Chase547 becomes enraged when Krista and Hailey suggest he stop pursuing a woman who constantly rebuffs him. He amps up his efforts, even when he’s piled on by other followers, throwing their chats into chaos.
 
Unnerved by Chase547’s obsession, Krista turns to law enforcement, but the little information she’s able to give the Chicago PD isn’t enough to start an investigation.
 
Soon, Krista notices things missing at home and feels as if she’s being watched. And when Chase547 begins to leave clues in real life proving he’s capable of murder, she begins to fear for her safety. Chase547 has more than one way to make his presence known—and this time it won’t be from behind a screen . . .

I can't wait to bring this one to you next summer! What do you think of that cover? I really love it; it's so eye-catching, and incorporates the community chat environment that's the basis of the story, all while conveying the burden of Krista's terror as she's trapped under a stalker's gaze.
