Hey, everyone! I’m delighted to host friend and fellow Story Empire author Sue Coletta for the first time on my blog today. She has a brand new release, Savage Mayhem. Please welcome her to my site.

Thank you for hosting me today, Joan! I appreciate your kind invite to help me share the news of my latest eco-thriller, Savage Mayhem. The first few chapters of Savage Mayhem take place in Alaska shortly after their previous mission to save orca from evil animal traffickers. Though each novel starts where the previous one left off, every book can stand alone. I write them that way, so readers don’t have to read eight novels to understand the ninth. Hope you enjoy it.

No lights brightened the humble seaside cottage. An older model BMW sat in the driveway. Across the street, he parked curbside.

“What’s the play here, Shadow Wolf?”

“Watch for movement inside while I knock.”

“Copy that.” He hopped out to open Shawnee’s door. “C’mon, Ghost Dog.”

“Where? Nobody ever tells me nothing.”

Did she not overhear their conversation? The objective should be obvious. Regardless, Mayhem stayed quiet to let things play out.

“We need to watch his six,” Kuruk said. “Got a weapon on you?”

She patted the side of her moccasin boot. “Always.”

Adorable.

“A baby knife?” Kuruk reached between her shins, and she stiffened, her widened emerald gaze locked on his head as he rummaged beneath her seat. When he withdrew his hand, he held Mayhem’s backup piece, which he passed to Shawnee.

Oh, boy. “She can barely shoot an arrow, Running Bear. Let’s not tempt fate with a firearm.” Mayhem reached for the weapon, but she angled it out of his reach.

“I got it.”

“I admire your confidence, Cat. I really do. However, ideally, we should all survive this encounter, and you with a pistol decreases those odds.” He slid the weapon from her shaky hands. “Thank you.”

Once his team got into position at each end of the cottage, Mayhem rapped his knuckles on the front door. No lights blazed on. He knocked again. Jabbed a chin at Running Bear, who returned a no. When he gestured to Cat, she also shook a no.

He knocked harder.

Still no movement, nor lights.

“Cat”—he hustled closer, his voice in a low whisper—“have you spotted any entry points?”

“Plenty of ’em.” Confidence oozed from her and shot a tingle up his spine. “Duffel still in the trunk?”

“It is.”

“I’m on it.”

“Thank you.”

Moments later, as she prowled toward the cottage with her tools, Mayhem sidled up to Running Bear. “What Cat lacks in weaponry skills, she more than makes up for in other areas. Watch and learn.”

“Copy that.”

When he spun to follow her, Mayhem gripped his arm. “Do not get in her way. That woman can get downright feral if she feels crowded.” He’d learned that lesson the hard way. “And whatever you do, don’t question her methods. She knows where to funnel her rage.”

Without a word, Kuruk shielded his crotch.

“Precisely.”

Book description:

Amidst the wild and unforgiving landscapes of Yellowstone Park, join Mayhem, a fearless Apache warrior and champion of the Natural World, and his partner and protégé, Shawnee, as they race against the clock to protect an American Buffalo herd from the ruthless Killzme Corporation.

With a massive bounty on their heads and an army of killers on their trail, Mayhem and Shawnee must use all their cunning and survival skills to outsmart their enemies. They will risk it all to preserve the sacred lineage of the Innocent Ones.

There is no line Shawnee and Mayhem won’t cross.

Even murder.

As the danger intensifies and the clock winds down, will they be able to save the herd? Or will this be the mission that finally breaks them?

99c Preorder Sale! Savage Mayhem releases April 11, 2024, in paperback and digital formats. Though Savage Mayhem is book 9 in the Mayhem Series, it can also be read as a standalone.

  2. I like that each book can stand alone. I’ve read most of these, but have missed the last few. I’ve got this one on pre-order and am looking forward to catching up.

    Congratulations, Sue, and thanks for hosting, Joan!
