I wanted to give you all a heads-up that there are two narrators/main characters/points of view in A Sense of Danger, Section 47 standalone, Thursday, Nov. 12.

In many books with two main characters/narrators, the author will go back and forth between them. For example, Chapter 1 might be from Jane’s point of view, while Chapter 2 is from Jack’s point of view, and so on and so forth.

But I didn’t do that in A Sense of Danger. Instead, I did the chapter point of view based on which character those scenes had the biggest physical, mental, or emotional impact on — either Charlotte Locke or Desmond Percy.

For example, Chapters 1-3 are from Charlotte’s POV, and then we switch over to Desmond’s POV in Chapter 4. Sometimes, we get a couple of chapters in a row from one character’s POV. Other times, I go back and forth between them. There is no pattern to the POV shifts in A Sense of Danger.

I also wrote the chapter POVs based on which character knew what at which time, and what I wanted readers to know. So it was definitely a bit of a jigsaw puzzle in the beginning, and it was a WHOLE LOT more challenging than just writing from one POV for the entire book. But I think the two POVs turned out well. I hope you all agree.

PRE-ORDER A SENSE OF DANGER:

A Sense of Danger is an Audible Original book. That means that it will ONLY be available as an audiobook for the first six months is it released. So you will ONLY be able to get the audiobook on release day, Thursday, Nov. 12. I will be self-publishing the ebook/print books at a later date, probably in summer 2021.

The cover art was done by the awesome Tony Mauro, who also does the cover art for my Elemental Assassin series.

A SENSE OF DANGER DESCRIPTION:

A SPY…

My name is Charlotte Locke, and I’m an analyst for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks terrorists, criminals, and other paramortal bad guys who want to unleash their abilities on an unsuspecting mortal world. I have a magical form of synesthesia that senses danger and uncovers lies—making me a stealthy operative.

I’m trudging through another day when one of Section’s cleaners—assassins—takes an interest in me. I don’t need my synesthesia to realize that he is extremely dangerous and that he will do anything to achieve his goals—even if it means putting me in the line of fire.

…AND AN ASSASSIN

I’m Desmond Percy, one of Section 47’s most lethal cleaners. I’m also a man on a mission, and I need Charlotte Locke’s skills to help me keep a promise, settle a score, and kill some extremely bad people.

Charlotte might not like me, but we’re stuck together until my mission is over. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I’m drawn to her. But at Section 47, you never know who you can trust—or who might want you dead.

A Sense of Danger is told in first person from the viewpoints of both Charlotte Locke and Desmond Percy. Helen Laser is the narrator for Charlotte, while Rupert Channing is the narrator for Desmond.

As of right now, this book is a stand-alone adventure, although if it does well, then I might write some more Section 47 books.

I hope everyone enjoys the audiobook when it is released. Happy listening! 😎
