Last year, when we released "Dying Breath" we had a lot of fun reading it together. We read about three chapters a night and even threw in a few trivia contests. I was happy to share a little bit of back story, a little bit of my story, and a look ahead. If you' re reading or rereading "Dying Breath" try this read along. I hope you enjoy it.

A century ago in tranquil Beach Haven, New Jersey, the salt air was pierced by chilling screams, sea water foamed red with blood, frightened children clung to wary mothers. A legendary great white shark—the inspiration for Peter Benchley’s Jaws—had claimed its first victim.

In my newest suspense novel DYING BREATH, terror revisits idyllic Beach Haven at the hands of a human predator who stalks the most innocent, vulnerable prey of all.

Down the shore for the summer, suburban mom Cam Hastings wants only to escape her chilling premonitions of doomed children. Instead, as young girls disappear one by one from the seaside resort, the visions grow more vivid than ever. Glimpsing her own daughter’s face among them, Cam realizes her worst nightmare lies dead ahead...and there’s nothing she can do to stop it.
