Sixteen year-old Anna Martinez has gone missing from her high school and the police know just who took her principal.
Journalist Emily Burnet has spent the last six months insisting she was in the right place at the right time when it came to helping Austin Police Department find national talk-show host Claire Scott. Since then, Emily’s tried to focus on her job – tell the story, not be a part of the story.
When Emily’s best friend, Rosa, comes to her, upset over a moment she witnessed between her student and her boss, Emily knows exactly who her friend needs to call – Detective Austin Cooper.
Emily makes a deal with Austin, one she’s made before, to be his source so she can keep Rosa in the loop and write the story for her job. If only keeping her feelings in check were as easy as helping her friend.
The clock counts down as they try to find the girl and Emily might have to make some long term choices about her career and where it’s taking her lately.
Laura Teagan has always had a passion for story telling. From an early age, it was verbal story telling, singing, and acting. It wasn’t until junior high that her love of books and story telling came together and she began working on her first book.
After a career in the traditional publishing world, Laura decided to launch her own writing career by self-publishing her first novel, The Assassin.
She’s currently finishing college, and she’ll graduate with a degree in public relations and advertising, plus a minor in creative writing, a degree package perfect for self-publishing.
The Assassin is the first book in The Cassie Morgan Series, and Laura is currently working on the sequel, Double Played, which will be out in early 2016.
When she isn’t working on one of her books, Laura runs the popular writing blog, Ginger & Books, and she’s recently launched the writing community, The Social Writer.
