Blog Tour: One Scream Away by Kate Brady

Beth Denison is a divorced antiques dealer living in the suburbs raising her daughter Abby. Beth has a scar on her cheek that she doesn't talk about, and is currently appraising a set of antique dolls. When she starts getting phone calls, she freaks out, but doesn't call the police. Instead, she retrieves her gun from its hiding place and starts brushing up on her aim.

Neil Sheridan gave up his shield with the FBI years ago when his family fell apart. But when his best friend asks Neil to consult on a case, he can't say no. The investigation of a woman murdered leads Neil to believe its the same serial killer from an investigation he led years ago. Neil can't believe he sent the wrong man to jail, and is right by Rick's side in the investigation.

Chevy Bankes is a master of disguise, and recently released from jail. He's coming after the woman who helped send him there. But along the way, he kills and sends a clue to Beth, along with a phonecall directly after the kill. He can't wait to hear her scream, and he's coming for her.

It's not often that you know who is the bad guy right from the start in a suspense, but ONE SCREAM AWAY is the exception; it's all about the chase. The pages fly by with action, drama, a touch of romance, and dark dirty secrets revealed along the way. A top-notch romantic suspense! Kate Brady's debut is just the launching pad for a new suspense writer to be reckoned with.


About Kate:

My writing career began in the closet, where--thankfully--my first several novels remain. As a full-time choral conductor and assistant professor of music education, I didn't consider going public with my fiction. It was strictly clandestine and only a hobby.

Then the needs of small children convinced me to switch to part-time teaching. For the first couple of years as a mostly stay-at-home-mom, it was all I could do to complete the metamorphosis from domestically-challenged career woman to culinary-queen and housework goddess. (Okay...Some transitions are never fully realized.) But later, when the kids got old enough to be in school for six hours a day, the characters in my head found time to come out again. Murderers, cops, victims, lovers. I started writing down everything they did and said, then finally decided to see if anyone but me wanted to read about them.

Now, I lead a double life. Some days are spent in the university classroom or at the rehearsal podium; others spent chasing villains on my laptop.

So what do I do when I'm not creating music teachers or psycho murderers? (Two unrelated populations, I assure you.) With a husband, two children, and way too many furry, feathery, and scaly things, there isn't a lot of time left. It's enough to keep up with the house, the yard, and the family schedule, and hope no one on my laptop gets murdered when I'm not looking.
