Savage Mayhem by Sue Coletta

Thanks to all my friends & partners on Story Empire, Savage Mayhem had an amazing book tour. At many stops, I shared an excerpt. At others, I chatted about why I focused on saving American Buffalo (species: bison, bison) instead of grizzlies, wolves, and lynxes like I’d planned.

While writing Savage Mayhem, it stirred up long-forgotten memories in me. Hence my absence here. As a writer, I lean into my emotions rather than shy away from them, so it transfers to the page. It’s not always easy to bare your soul — I bawled while writing some scenes — but the honesty benefits the book.

As a writer, I hope you feel what I feel, see what I see, smell what I smell, taste what I taste, hear what I hear, and touch what I touch. I hope you experience it all, good times and the bad. Emotional resonance is the magic sauce of storytelling. And that’s also why I read. When a novel moves me, the author becomes one of my favorites. Is it the same for you? There’s plenty of fun moments in Savage Mayhem, where I was laughing so hard I could barely type. Anyway, if you take a chance on Savage Mayhem, lean back and enjoy the ride. So far, early readers love it.

A massive thank you to my generous hosts! Without you, the book launch wouldn’t be nearly as fun.

If you’d like to follow the tour, here are all my stops (the excerpts or subjects are all different):

What is Savage Mayhem About?

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?

***

Though Savage Mayhem is book 9 in the Mayhem Series, it can be read as a standalone. If you’re unsure what an eco-thriller is, this post explains the genre (at least how I write them).

Basically, my characters protect wildlife from unscrupulous poachers, trophy hunters, and animal traffickers. All my eco-thrillers entertain and educate without sacrificing the super-fast pace, action, suspense, tenderness, laugh-out-loud moments, Native spirituality, culture, traditions, or our connection to Mother Earth.

*From the proceeds, I donate to protect the Innocent Ones (animals) and to preserve the Natural World for us all.

The 99c sale ends tomorrow! It was supposed to end today, but I’m late posting this announcement. Story of my life lately. 😉

Available in paperback and digital formats.
