"Wicked Seduction" awaits polishing
For me, completing a manuscript is a rush, and it is even more thrilling when it marks the culmination of an entire series. With a mixture of elation and relief, I proudly announce the completion of “Wicked Seduction”, the ultimate book in “The Empath Series”.
Writing, as many authors would attest, is an emotional journey. This process requires skill in both weaving words and navigating the complex web of one's own thoughts and emotions. Writing the novel was a journey filled with anticipation, doubt, and satisfaction.
The story has evolved beyond what I originally envisioned, not only in length but also in the narrative. The manuscript spans approximately 73,000 words, a carefully measured mosaic of sentences and paragraphs that have been my companions for the past months. However, amidst the word count and page revisions, my primary focus remains unaltered: to ensure that the essence of the story, the emotions that weave through each line, captivate and entertain you. Numbers might quantify the text, but it's the intangible connection that truly matters.
With fall on the horizon, I eagerly await the moment when I can hand over this creation to you, hoping it will resonate as much with you as it does with me.
For now, here’s the full synopsis of Wicked Seduction, which explores the dark depths of human depravity, the redemptive power of empathy, and the strength of two determined souls:
What’s going to happen in “Wicked Seduction”
A killer aroused by his savage acts. An empath haunted by his past. A ticking clock…
Fifteen years after he and his mother left in disgrace, empath Nathaniel Colt finds himself drawn back to his hometown of Euburn, California. CBI Special Agent Ophelia Brighte seeks his unique empathic abilities to assist in the investigation of a missing woman, setting the stage for a chilling and dangerous pursuit.
Upon his arrival, Nathaniel is met with a grim discovery - the mutilated body of the missing woman. The brutality of the crime sends shockwaves through the quiet rural community. Determined to bring the savage killer to justice, Nathaniel must navigate through a hostile police administration and a community that despises him.
As the investigation unfolds, the sadistic killer strikes again, abducting another innocent woman. The pressure intensifies as Nathaniel and Ophelia race against time to rescue the victim. However, the investigators find their progress frustratingly slow as they face off against the cunning and sadistic killer.
With each passing moment, the danger escalates, and the killer's twisted game becomes even more sinister. But as they get closer to unraveling the truth, they realize that one of them might become entangled in the unsub's twisted fantasies.
Faced with mounting danger, Nathaniel and Ophelia must rely on their combined talents and instincts to outwit the cunning and savage killer.
Can Nathaniel overcome his troubled past and use his empathic abilities to stop the killer before more lives are lost? Will Ophelia’s skills as a Special Agent be enough to outwit the elusive and sadistic murderer?
