2 Mar by Gary Alan McBride Leave a Comment

oil_flare_nightMy novel, The Wildcat, was just awarded second prize in the Mystery / Thriller / Suspense category at the 2015 Pikes Peak Writers’ Zebulon Contest.

The Wildcat is an eco-disaster thriller set in fictional Belgian Guyana. Rita witnesses a kidnapping, and gets thrown into the middle of an ethnic, political, and corporate battle. Oil’s the prize, but for Rita, it’s personal.

Can she save a life and still save her homeland?
