Imagine heading out for vacation, excited about the chance to rest, recharge and have loads of fun, exploring the great outdoors only to encounter a stranger as soon as you arrive at your destination, someone who haunts you with their sinister presence. Do you turn back?

This is what successful insurance investment agent Petula Abebe faces after she drives her luxury RV into the quiet expanse of the Whooten State Forest. She expects solitude, crisp mountain air, and escape from the hectic pace of work. Instead, she stumbles into a waking nightmare.

The trouble begins subtly, unwanted offers of help from a man which turn into the faint crunch of footsteps outside her RV and the feeling of being trailed as she enjoys a game of cards with neighboring RV owners. Then she sees him again. A tall, bearded man with a military emblem stitched into his bandanna. Watching. Always watching.

Neighboring campers dismiss her concerns, claiming the man is harmless. But Petula’s instincts tell her this is no casual trespasser. As the days pass, his appearance grows bolder, his shadow stretching across her explorations.

Desperate for answers, she starts digging into the man’s history. What she learns stays with her, refusing to let her go. In a chilling turn, Petula discovers the stalker may not be acting alone and that the real danger isn’t just who’s following her, but why. With the forest roads uneven and her RV’s engine choppy in the face of a looming storm, she is trapped in the Whooten State Forest with only her wits, her RV, and the gnawing question of who she can trust and why she’s being followed.

A tense, suspense thriller, The Whooten State Forest Mystery: Ties That Bind, is a story of deception, survival, and the secrets that hide in plain sight. Get your copy now.
