Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. Just lying on a dock or a beach, reading a book.
Unless you’re an author.
That’s right, your favorite bestselling authors are hard at work on your next favorite book.
What exactly are we working on? We’re glad you asked. We begin a new series of Thursday Teasers by describing our works in progress. This week, we present two WIPs, from Elyse Salpeter and Lucy Appadoo.
The Blue Tattoo
Elyse Salpeter
I thought I was writing a book with a unreliable narrator, but it turns out I’m not. The story just has a twist.
Mateo “Matt” el toro Beretta is an FBI agent. For the past seven years, he’s been hunting Enzo DeMarco, the world’s most infamous child trafficker. And for the past two years, Matt’s been living with his estranged daughter, Caroline DeMarco. What could possibly go wrong?
Elyse’s latest book: Nowhere to Run
In the center of the ocean lies a dark secret. Ten strangers, each with a unique gift waiting to be unleashed, find themselves stranded on a remote island. But their arrival is no accident.
Kidnapped and brought there by a shadowy organization, they are pawns in a deadly game of experimentation and manipulation. Their captors believe they possess abilities unlike any seen before, powers that could change the course of humanity and ones they can harness for their own evil purposes.
In this supernatural thriller, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, the ten must confront their fears and fight for their lives. For on this island, nothing is as it seems, and the true enemy may be closer than they think.
NOWHERE TO RUN is a gripping tale of suspense, romance, and superhuman abilities, where survival is the ultimate test of strength.
Lucy Appadoo
