After a violent incident with a patient leaves scars on both her mind and body, psychiatrist Dr. Maggie Levine craves isolation. A radio talk show host seems to be the perfect profession, a job where she can help people from a distance while staying safe. When a strange caller begins stalking her on the air and murdering people to get her attention, Maggie realizes she can no longer close herself off from the outside world.
A personal security expert, former Secret Service Agent Ethan Townsend is no stranger to tracking down the most violent monsters of society and bringing them to justice. Still, it will take all of Ethan’s skills to protect his new assignment, the irresistible Maggie, from a man intent on teaching her the ultimate lesson in fear…

On September 5th, my debut novel, ONLY FEAR, was released unto the world. In this story, an organization that, until now, existed only in my mind comes to life for the first time. SSAM, an acronym that stands for The Society for the Study of the Aberrant Mind, is a group of professionals with various specialties. Its employees have career experience in everything from computer technology to personal security to profiling serial killers. That’s the beauty of a made-up private organization. I can hire anyone I want. And Damian Manchester, the group’s founder, hires only the best. He’s dedicated to removing monsters from society. After all, one of those monsters took his daughter from him years ago. He’s still hunting her killer, and he’ll eventually catch the monster responsible. He’s that dedicated. I’m looking forward to helping him find justice over the course of the series.
ONLY FEAR is the first book in this series, which is now known as “The Mindhunters.” I’d love to hear what types of heroes/heroines you’d like to see working for or with SSAM? What career specialties would you like to see featured? (Anything from psychic to bomb expert to computer hacker – everything’s fair game.) One lucky commenter will win a free digital copy of ONLY FEAR.
Thanks!
