Hey friends,
You’re the first to see this…
The cover for The Devil’s Road, out January 12, 2027.
I’m also looking for early readers. An ARC, or advance reader copy, is a free early copy of a book sent out before release so readers can share their thoughts.
Here’s the deal. You get the ebook free NOW, before anyone else. If you’d like, post an honest review on Goodreads and on Amazon once the book is out.
Honest means honest. You don’t have to like it, and you don’t have to review it at all. But if you do, a review during launch week (1/12/27) helps a new book get found more than almost anything else.
[here’s A BLURB to share with friends who you think may enjoy]
Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, 1999. Fourteen women have died along Highway 64.
For years, each death was filed as a separate tragedy. Lieutenant Samantha Hart lays the cases side by side and sees what no one else will admit: a pattern. The victims share a similar stretch of blacktop, a truck stop with sleeping bays, and a motel with pink flamingos out front. Sam thinks they share a killer, too, one who knows how to stay out of sight.
One of those files belongs to her little sister. Mary Hart was found in December 1998, tied to a county road marker near Tenkiller Ferry Lake, facing the sunset. The sheriff, he wants the cases archived … Mary’s included.
But Mary won’t stay buried. Samantha sees her in the back seat of her cruiser, in the grass beside the highway, in the flash of the police lights, the needle still in her neck. Some nights she’s the sister Sam remembers. Other nights she’s the thing Sam found tied to that marker. Every time Sam looks straight at her, she’s gone.
The Lieutenant’s jurisdiction ends at the county line. The killer’s road does not. Federal help could change all that, but it comes with a price, and so does the man who offers it.
A decade before the FBI made public its Highway Serial Killings Initiative, the files on these women sat in a cardboard box in the trunk of Lieutenant Samantha Hart’s cruiser.
Somewhere in the heat shimmer off the blacktop, the killer is driving the same road as everyone else.
And the pile of unsolved cases keeps growing.
A heads-up before you sign up: this is a dark book. It includes graphic violence against women, sexual violence, murder, drug use, and sex work. If that isn’t for you, no hard feelings.
How it works —
I’m sending copies through StoryOrigin, a service authors use to deliver early ebooks.
Click the button below and create a free StoryOrigin account with your email and a password.
Fill out the short request form. It asks where you might post a review (e.g., Goodreads or Amazon) and for your profile link.
I approve your request, and StoryOrigin emails you a link to download the ebook to your phone, tablet, or e-reader.
After launch, StoryOrigin may send you a reminder about reviewing. It’s still your call.
I’m looking for five readers … first come, first served.
And thanks to all of you who have read along - all this time.
