I’m so excited to finally share a little more about my debut novel, The Watcher's Prey, which will be released in March 2026. As I prepare for the cover reveal and publication, it feels surreal to finally bring Anna’s journey into the world.
The Watcher's Prey is a dark, fast-paced psychological thriller that explores what happens when survival, morality, and truth collide. It follows Anna, a once-promising journalist whose instinct for crime stories leads her down a dangerous path. When one of her investigations ends in tragedy, her life unravels into addiction and self-doubt. Given one last chance to redeem her career, Anna chases a story that soon turns into a nightmare.
Abducted and trapped in a deadly game where powerful people hunt those who have crossed them, Anna must rely on her instincts and investigative skills to survive. But as each player falls, new clues emerge, clues that link this twisted “game” to the story that destroyed her life years earlier.
Forced to face her past and the people who want her silenced, Anna discovers that the truth is far darker than she ever imagined.
The Watcher's Prey is a story about redemption, resilience, and the cost of chasing truth in a world where secrets have power.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes details about the book, a sneak peek at the cover, and opportunities to become an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reader before release.
