Writes about:
Fast-paced and heart-stopping with a rift in the romance between Annie Hawkins and Finn Cerelli, DOUBLE EXPOSURE continues the story began in the award-winning BEHIND THE LENS. War photographer and PTSD survivor Annie breaks up with U.S. Navy SEAL Captain Cerelli to return to Afghanistan to help rebuild the Wad Qol School for Girls.
About the author:
A seasoned photojournalist who travels the world seeks readers who love complex and cinematic, suspenseful novels of love, loss, and redemption. Enjoys journeys to the ends of the earth, photography, and cats of all sizes. And cookies. Lots of cookies, preferably with tea while listening to Etta James croon “At Last” or Joan Baez sing “How Long Since I Spent a Whole Night in a Twin Bed with a Stranger.” Looking for readers who like traveling with me to exciting places, slow-burn romance, and a bad-ass heroine who can look after herself – until things get really dicey.
I’m looking for readers who crave books with:
- Riveting, unputdownable, cinematic suspense
- A strong, camera-wielding, bad-ass heroine with a secret tattoo
- BFFs who are completely devoted to each other even when they’re arguing
- Teenage daughters who break all the rules, putting their lives in danger and driving their mothers to distraction
- Foreign and sometimes dangerous settings
- Great food and drinks
- An empathetic dog
- A core of social justice
- Swoon-worthy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance
What to expect if we’re compatible:
- A smart, gutsy, kind, and fearless photographer who often risks everything to capture an image
- A loving – though flawed – mother willing to do just about anything for her teenage daughter
- A “book boyfriend” who loves long showers, cuddling on sofas or in hospital beds, and great scotch
- International travel to exciting places
- Moments filled with beautiful poetry
- Delectable food and the best bourbon money can buy
- All-night reading binges and an intense need to read Behind the Lens, the first novel in the Annie Hawkins series
- A commitment to girls’ education especially in countries where it’s illegal
- Facebook and Instagram posts showing my own images from photo shoots around the world
DOUBLE EXPOSURE by Jeannée Sacken
The Annie Hawkins Green series # 2
November 2015-Seasoned war photojournalist Annie Hawkins returns home after an assignment to find her life falling apart. She’s under investigation for an incident that happened six months earlier in Afghanistan. Her best friend’s daughter, Seema, is still missing, apparently with her Taliban boyfriend. Her daughter Mel and friends are busy fundraising to rebuild the Wad Qol Secondary School for Girls and expect Annie to deliver the money. To make matters worse, she has a major argument with the love of her life, Finn Cerelli, and they’re no longer speaking.
When Annie returns to Afghanistan to cover peace talks between the government and the Taliban, she takes a side trip to Wad Qol, where she discovers that not everyone wants the new school. Sabotage delays construction, and when a worker ends up dead, it’s clear the militants are to blame. It’s also obvious that they know exactly where Annie is.
