FBI SPECIAL AGENT DAWNA SHEPHERD IS BACK!

Posted on by Diana Deverell

FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd first appeared in my fiction in Night on Fire, my second international thriller which is set in Denmark during a war between two rival biker gangs.

I enjoy writing about Dawna and she stars in many short stories and comes to the aid of Casey Collins, my thriller heroine, in the next two novels in that series.

In “Foul Trouble”, my eighteenth short mystery story featuring Dawna, she returns to Copenhagen on a temporary assignment to aid the Danish National Police. Her efforts to nail passport fraudsters are undercut by a leaker from her own side.

“Foul Trouble” was just published in BETRAYAL, the seventeenth and newest issue of Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem.

BETRAYAL, Issue 17 OF MYSTERY, CRIME, AND MAYHEM

For this issue, nine writers took wildly different takes on the theme of betrayal. The result is great entertainment!

You can buy your copy of BETRAYAL directly from the publisher or follow the links she provides to your favorite online bookseller. Available in digital and print.

NO W.W.M. (WESTERN WHITE MALES) RELEASES TODAY!

Posted on by Diana Deverell
The autumn 2023 issue of THRILL RIDE – THE MAGAZINE brings you twelve tales not led by Western white males, including my contribution, “Spooked.”

 

THRILL RIDE - THE MAGAZINE "NO W.W.M. (Western White Males)"

I couldn’t resist writing a thriller story set in El Salvador during the early 1980s. The majority of US personnel in the country at that time were males, many of them active-duty military or working for the CIA. All believable protagonists in an international thriller.

But they’re only background for my story, told by a Western white woman who isn’t looking for thriller action when she volunteers to serve at the San Salvador embassy.

Twenty-four-year-old Casey Collins wants to see for herself what’s happening in the war-torn country.

She gets her chance to investigate when another woman invites her on a plane ride to the eastern edge of El Salvador. Where Casey hears enough to get herself in real trouble.

In these twelves stories, you’ll meet Vietnamese magicians, female undercover operatives, Chinese assassins, and women like you never imagined.
