There’s something about returning
home that can stir up memories you thought were long buried.
Sometimes those memories are
comforting—family dinners, childhood friendships, familiar places that remind us
of where we came from.
But sometimes… the past waits in the
shadows and it’s not so nice.
That idea became the heartbeat
behind my upcoming release, Unsolved Amish Abduction, releasing March
31.
In this story, Anna Hartzler returns
to the Amish community she once fled after receiving an anonymous letter
containing a bracelet that belonged to her missing sister. For Anna, the
bracelet isn’t just jewelry—it’s a reminder of the worst night of her life.
Ten years ago, two sisters walked
into the woods.
Only one came home.
Anna has spent a decade trying to
move forward. She built a life. She’s raising her young daughter. She’s tried
to convince herself that the past is over.
But the moment she steps back into
her hometown, it becomes clear that someone hasn’t forgotten.
Someone has been waiting.
And the only person she can turn to
for protection is Jaxson Thomas—the boy she once loved, now a police
officer and K-9 handler. Jax never expected Anna to return, and he certainly
never expected to find himself protecting the woman who once disappeared from
his life.
As the threats escalate and secrets
begin to surface, Anna and Jax must confront the truth about what happened that
night in the woods… before the same person who stole her sister comes back for
her.
One of the things I love about
writing suspense is exploring how the past shapes who we become—and how
unresolved mysteries can echo through years, even decades. In Unsolved Amish
Abduction, the danger isn’t just physical. It’s emotional too. Anna must
face the guilt of surviving when her sister didn’t… and the terrifying
possibility that the nightmare isn’t over.
Because sometimes the most dangerous
place to return… is home.

So
Let’s Talk Suspense!
One of my favorite parts of being a
suspense writer is hearing from readers who love trying to solve the mystery
before the characters do.
So, I’m curious…
What kind of suspense hook grabs you
the fastest when you pick up a book?
- A cold case from the past
- A missing person mystery
- A secret hidden in a small town
- A second-chance romance in the middle of danger
Or something else entirely?
