Lawless, British Columbia is on edge after a powerful earthquake jolts the region, quickly followed by a string of savage animal attacks. Newly stationed to the area after her predecessor mysteriously disappears, Conservation Officer Christine Moon needs to calm the jangled nerves of the small mountain town
Awakened from ancient slumber, something stalks the swirling, grey mists that surround Lawless. A beast with a gnawing hunger that grows stronger by the minute — its only thought, to satisfy its ravenous appetite.
Rampant corruption at the highest level has targeted Christine to be the next mysterious disappearance. Now, she’s in a fight for her life while trying to track and contain the creature threatening to decimate the local population.

I really liked this book. Hard to put down.
Thank you, James! That is exactly the sort of thing I want people to say as their reading my book — I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Just finished Claw and it was fun. Especially liked Christine Moon. She was strong when she needed to be but was not looking to be offended.
Thank you, Gary, I’m so glad you like the book! And I’m especially glad you like Christine — she has a lot of me in her. 🙂
Just finished Claw. Couldn’t put it down. Have you written any other books?
Thank you so much! I am very glad you enjoyed the book! I am currently editing my next book which will be out this fall. It is going to be a series with a continuing character. The first one is set in an abandoned resort where 98 people disappeared at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve 1981 never to be seen again. I hope you’ll enjoy that, too. And after that, I am planning a sequel for CLAW. 🙂
I can’t wait to read the sequel to CLAW. The characters was well fleshed out and the story had me wishing it was longer. Maybe we’ll see another smiledon! I love them. You. Are a wonderful writer.
Your comments brought me great joy, Melodie. Thank you for sharing your enjoyment of CLAW. Please join my email list or follow my Facebook page to stay on top of all the new announcements regarding Claw, its sequel, CLAW: Resurgence, as well as the upcoming Audiobook versions of those novels and news of ABANDONED.
Wow…wow…what a book Katie. You are an excellent writer and I.was.so dsappointed when I couldn’t find any other books by you. I can’t wait to read your books again. I will continue to look for you…wow!
Hello, Craig! Thank you so much! I am very grateful and pleased that you so enjoyed my book. I have written several others over the years but that is the first one I have brought forward to publication.
I am currently editing my next book which will be out this fall. It is going to be a series with a continuing character.

Just finished Claw! Really enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and the story kept you entertained. Happy to hear a new book and a possible sequel to Claw are in the works.
Thank you, Lee! I will be doing a cover reveal on my new novel soon, along with a multi-chapter sample. In addition, I will announce the sequel to CLAW.
Hi Katie. My name is Connie. I have to say that I JUST LOVED IT! So full of action. I loved the characters. I was sad when it came to an end. Wish there was another book like this one.
Thank you for being so creative. Please write another one like this.

Hi Connie! Thank you SO much! It’s always fabulous to hear from another visitor to Lawless, British Columbia! But don’t be sad, there IS a sequel (not quite announced) to CLAW coming next spring, CLAW: Resurgence. Also, not yet announced, either, but I have just completed contract negotiations for an audiobook of CLAW! Arriving this fall, it will be produced by a major audiobook production studio, Recorded Books. Also, just revealed yesterday here on my site, the cover of my next novel, which I think you might enjoy, ABANDONED: A Lively Deadmarsh Novel. Please sign up for my email list, or follow me on Facebook, if you wish, then you’ll be able to keep right up to date. Thanks again for your kind words, it is always nice to know there will be more visitors returning to Lawless for another vacation next year. 🙂
Well, there certainly is a new author of horror on the scene. Her first book ‘Claw” is riveting from beginning to end. Has well defined characters; especially the Conservation Officer Moon. Can’t wait for her next book. Well done, Katie!
Thank you so much, JM! I have many more where that came from. Stay tuned…
I just finished Claw and I liked it and would like to read the sequel
Hi Dale! Thank you! The sequel to CLAW will be released next spring. In the meantime, this fall will see the release of ABANDONED. It is set in the same universe as CLAW with references to people and places in Lawless, BC. And if you read that, you will have some clues and insights regarding CLAW: Resurgence. Thank you for your interest and support!
Absolutely loved Claw, all the characters, and the very imaginative and absorbing plot. Can’t wait until your next books are available. You are a fantastic author!
So glad you enjoyed your visit to the beautiful Kokanee valley and Lawless! It’s quite lovely there this time of year.
Renovations are currently underway at the Sinclair Resort Hotel featured in my next novel, ABANDONED, coming this fall. I believe you’ll enjoy Lively and Minerva Deadmarsh’s adventure as they investigate a four-decade-old unsolved mass disappearance in the resort’s ballroom. And as an added bonus, it even ties into CLAW: Resurgence coming spring 2021.
Thank you so much for your comments, they are always, and greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to need of more of your books, especially a sequel to Claw!
Thanks, Sunny! CLAW: Resurgence, the sequel to CLAW, will be released in the spring of next year. In the meantime, if you are someone who enjoys listening to books as well, be sure to keep an ear out for the end of July when CLAW: The Audiobook is released by Tantor Media.
Be healthy and have a great summer!
