New Edgars Family Book
DRAINED, the next book in the Edgars Family Novels will be available for purchase in October! 😎
I’m hoping on the 1st, but it will depend on the editing and formatting. Amazon has been having major glitches with the pre-orders to Indie authors, so I’m afraid I’ll not be doing one for this book. 🙁
So, watch for the announcement on FB and of course I’ll put out a release date newsletter the day it goes live!
This is a special book. My sister Sami has been asking me for years to write a “serial killer” book. I kept telling her I don’t write thrillers, I write straight up romantic suspense, with characters you’ll fall in love with in dangerous situations.
Then my son Eric came up with a story concept and the title DRAINED that would fit the bill for Sami’s “serial killer” story and my genre of RS. This was an opportunity to gift a story to both of them and move the Edgars series into it’s new direction.
While the Edgars Family members are secondary characters in this story, the hero and heroine you’ve met before in VANISHED, Detective Aaron Jeffers and Brianna Matthews.
I hope you will enjoy their story as much as I did writing it.

Here’s the blurb:
DRAINED
Who reports a homeless person missing? They’re already missing.
Three years ago, Brianna Matthews became a victim at the hand of powerful men and barely escaped with her life because her friend cared enough to search for her. From that moment on, she lived her life trying to pay the favor forward by working in a women’s shelter for abuse victims. When her coworker and a former resident in the shelter doesn’t show up for work, Brianna knows it’s up to her to find her. Enlisting the help of Homicide Detective Aaron Jeffers to go with her to check in on her friend, little does she know they would end up walking in the underworld of Cleveland’s homeless community.
They make the perfect target.
In finding Brianna’s coworker seriously ill, they promise to find her friend, a homeless man, only to discover his body in an abandoned building. Aaron’s years of experience with murder and death alerts him that this may be more than the death of one Vietnam Vet living on the street. What appears at first to be a death by natural causes quickly turns into a bizarre murder investigation.
The corpse is drained of blood.
Another body is found in a more public setting, this time with an attachment to the women’s shelter. Fearing Brianna might be in danger, Aaron keeps her with him as the investigation, along with their relationship, deepens. As the new Edgars Security and Investigations Group lends a hand, one of their own goes missing.
Can Aaron and Brianna find their friend before the killer claims another victim?
