Announcing Perfect Prey arrives today

Check out the blurb on the book page at Amazon.

“Are you being hunted? Are you their perfect prey? What will you do after the Consortium takes you and sells you at auction? What happens after they sell and transport you across the world like cargo? Can you imagine your new life as owned property, with no hope of ever returning to your old life? To suffer and die at the whim of your owner. After you read this novel, you will never, ever stop looking over your shoulder.”

Scary, huh?

I’ll tell you, I think so too, and I wrote the story. What bothers me is that after I wrote ‘The Trafficking Consortium,’ I started looking over my shoulders, worried that stumbled on something others would wish to remain hidden. I wonder, am I being followed?

Unknown, but what I realized after the release of the first book in the Consortium Series, is that my story, while fiction, may emulate a real entity. I do not worry about being taken for someone’s pleasure. Instead, I fear that they might target me for getting too close to the truth and eliminate the threat of exposure. I wondered whether there really was an exclusive organization out there that routinely culls (kidnaps and kill) their prey.

Similarities

Do you remember the Hostel movies starting in 2005? In the first installment, three backpackers hike around Eastern Europe bent on exploring hedonistic experiences. They become the prey an organization who torture and murder people for profit. They end up dead in scenarios not too dissimilar to my stories. The horrendous activities continue in the sequel with more gory killings. One victim turns the tables on her buyer who ends up being her victim. I think you will agree; the movies are believable and emulate a segment of real life?

As you probably figured out by now, these movies are favorites of mine. Interestingly enough, they did not factor into my idea of writing my version. That happened when I was sitting in a doctor’s office one day and pondering a question. A question that began “What could happen if …” From there, my mind went wild and out came the first story. It wasn’t until months later that I realized the similarities.

Perfect Prey

The new suspense thriller ‘Perfect Prey’ picks up several months after the first book. Avril has trained under her owner, learning about the human body, what makes it tick, and what it takes to silence forever the souls that once occupied the desecrated corpses.

The sequel expands upon the horrid desires of the Consortium membership by identifying and culling several people in their quest to satisfy their wants and needs. Despite their cruel behaviors, they have scruples with severe consequences to the violation of the rules. Who would imagine an organization hellbent on the torment and snuffing of innocents would fatally punish their own for operating outside the boundaries?

Considering her earlier experiences, Avril navigates her treacherous trail through the maze of blood and gore. In trying to avoid the fate of so many others, she hopes that she will one day escape the clutches of the Consortium. The problem as she sees it, is that the Consortium is large and experienced with covering their tracks. Likewise, she knows that simple escape would be meaningless. On the run, she could never trust a loved one, a stranger, or even a member of law enforcement. Anyone of them might be a Consortium associate. No matter what, she learned to accept the truth revealed on her first day as captured prey. Her old life was forever over. She would never return to it. She would never again feel safe.

The plan

Yet, she’s determined to regain her freedom. She desires her freedom to live her life as she wants, without fear of being recaptured. The problem is, how. How can she orchestrate events that will lead to her freedom? What price must she pay? Somewhere along the way, she comes up with a plan, a plan that has some semblance of success. Once and for all, it would also save thousands a year from suffering her fate.

Can she pull it off? As Niccolo Machiavelli asked ‘Will the ends justify the means?’ Will God forgive her for what she must do to save herself and others?

Perfect Prey arrives today on Amazon for your Kindle or Kindle reader. Next month, the print version will be available for those of you who prefer an actual book in your hands.

After you read Perfect Prey, the next suspenseful, thrilling chapter in the Consortium Series, I suspect that like myself, you will forever look over your shoulders to see if someone is following you, hunting you, and preparing to steal you from your loved ones.
