Book Description

July 15, 2009
To keep the bank from repossessing her eighteen-wheeler and putting her and her daughter on the street, trucker Loretta Brennan takes a dangerous route to Wyoming with a winter storm approaching. She worries if she can make the deadline and navigate the icy roads since her driving partner husband died in an accident the year before. At a truck stop, Loretta meets handsome hitchhiker Sam Emerson, who helps her out of a bind. She feels compelled to return the favor and offers him a ride to Cheyenne. Blizzards, a series of trucker murders, and a sinister truck haunt them along their route. They grow close despite Loretta’s fear that Sam may be aligned with the killer. Is Sam a good man down on his luck or is she falling in love with a murderer?

More About the Author

I've been writing for over 40 years now...published for 29 of those years since 1984; have fourteen novels and 8 short stories to my name...and more coming. I write traditional supernatural horror, murder mysteries and paranormal romance. I've been writing about ghosts, haunted places and evil vampires WAY LONG BEFORE Stephanie Meyer (no relation to me even though my maiden name is Meyer) and the rest of the vampire author crowd, ha, ha. And between June 2010 and July 2012 ten of my older Zebra, Leisure paperbacks and Wild Rose Press books are going to be repackaged, reprinted and rereleased for the first time in many years (and in e-books for the first time ever) from DAMNATION BOOKS www.damnationbooks.com and ETERNAL PRESS www.eternalpress.biz. Yippie! So look for them.

I'm a wife of 33 years (husband, Russell), mother (one son, James) and grandmother (two grandchildren, Caitlyn and Joshua). I was a graphic designer in the corporate world for 23 years; and have published with Dorchester, Kensington, Avalon Books, The Wild Rose Press, Damnation Books and Eternal Press. Recently, I've crossed over into e-books as well as paperbacks. I love cats and nature, classic rock and country music (my brother, JS Meyer www.jsmeyermusic.com, is a singer/songwriter and does the songs for all my self-made book trailers that are on my websites). VISIT me at www.myspace.com/kathrynmeyergriffith or www.bebo.com/kathrynmeyerG or www.authorsden.com/kathrynmeyergriffith to see all my book covers and trailers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Newer version, Great story, December 11, 2011
By 
Toni V. Sweeney (Orange County, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winter's Journey (Paperback)
I've gotten a newer version of this book but the years haven't hurt it a bit! A tense, thrilling story, and one that will keep you guessing. Having recently driven the route taken by Loretta--also in winter and also by myself--I was particularly empathetic to her fears and concerns of driving a rig through that stretch of highway during a snowstorm. I also saw several eighteen-wheelers off the road during my trip, which included a blizzard, though nothing like the one Loretta and Sam face, but scary enough for a lone woman in a car.

This story is reminiscent of the old made-for-TV movie Duel, starring Dennis Weaver, and I kept thinking what a taut thriller for the big screen it would make. Reading it in the wintertime with snow on the ground won't hurt a bit.
