Dear Reader,
First, thank you for choosing my book, The First Girl, to jump into and enjoy an escape. It brings happiness to my day know that a new reader has taken a chance on this book. It's my hope that you will be taken on a rollercoaster ride into the life of a cold case detective. There will be plenty of shocking moments as you try to figure out who the killer is. You'll know more about crime scene investigations, forensics, profiling, and what it takes to put all the clues together to solve the case.
Out on her morning run, Detective Katie Scott is stopped in her tracks when her ex-military dog, Cisco, alerts her to something that appears to be a large white bundle. Through the dense forest and weaving through the towering pine trees, Katie is horrified to find a little girl alone in the woods, dressed in a white nightgown where someone's blood is splashed across the garment. The child sobs into Katie’s arms. She’s unharmed, but clearly traumatized. Scooping her up, Katie follows the trail to a large farmhouse. But what she finds there rips the air from her lungs: one, two, three, four bodies laid out side by side, all wearing matching pajamas.
Katie is thrown immediately into the investigation. She was a military explosives K9 team and now a veteran, as well as her dog, Cisco. Now maybe I have your attention? My love for dogs has been for my entire life and I enjoy incorporating dogs into stories. I have two German shepherds that fill my day and are usually nearby when I typing away at the keyboard on my next story.
The investigation gets dicey for Katie at times but that's what makes it fun, for you, the reader. You get to experience everything that Katie does—in your mind of course. It will keep you guessing. You will find that there are more bodies piling up along with a ton of evidence, but the real question is, which pieces of evidence are the real ones. Maybe you'll figure out the culprit before Katie does?
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter…

The cold night breeze slams the barn door shut with a sickening crash. The girl curled in the corner wakes with a start. Her gold butterfly necklace catches the pale moonlight as she clutches it tight, thinking of her family. Will she ever escape? Or is this the last face she’ll ever see?
Detective Katie Scott stares in horror at what she and her service dog Cisco have discovered: seven shallow graves, the bodies of young women each wrapped carefully in a blanket and buried in makeshift coffins. Miles of abandoned farmland stretch out from the treeline behind her. Has Katie uncovered the horrifying graveyard of a monster who has been stealing Pine Valley’s daughters for years?
Katie quickly identifies one of the victims as Abigail Andrews, a beautiful young woman who disappeared fifteen years ago. Katie is heartbroken that she’ll have to tell Abigail’s mother her darling girl is gone.
When Katie is ambushed working late at the scene, fired upon by an unknown assailant, she knows she must be close to finding the killer. But the shooter vanishes into thin air. And when a new young woman is taken, dark haired and dark eyed like the others, Katie realizes her time is running out. Can she stay alive long enough to track down this twisted murderer before another young life is stolen too soon?
“Fast paced, characters intelligent and had each others back. The plot was a bit harrowing, but from what plot entailed I was confident one of the main protagonists, Katie had the situation under control. At least the best of her capabilities as the situation warranted. This ebook was fresh, tasteful and powerful. It was a boon to read about a female with military experience who maintained a level head and who put her knowledge to practice.” ~Amazon
“AMAZING characters (including Cisco of coarse) & suspense in a twisty plot that sucks you in & never lets you go. Highly RECOMMEND the entire series for some great reading.” ~NetGalley
