Thanks to the Coronado Eagle Journal for this in-depth story about HOOKED, specifically the importance of my characters' ethics and integrity, and setting the story in 2015 as an homage to old school journalism, telling the truth, & the rule of law.

Check out my latest Substack: HOOKED, my upcoming thriller, was written out of nostalgia for my tribe of journalists and Ye Olde Newsroom. caitlinrother.substack.com/p/hooked-was...

Just in: “Sunshine, murder, and money—Caitlin Rother’s appropriately titled HOOKED has it all, and feeds it to the reader one stimulating bite at a time. Rother's tight plot and sharp details bait the reader into joining her on this thrilling ride.” --Jaime Parker Stickle, author of VICIOUS CYCLE

I am so excited and grateful for this review of HOOKED by Jennifer Silva Redmond, who was "hooked" as soon as she read about investigative reporter Katrina Chopin: "But all that pales in comparison to the plot—which grabbed my interest from the first pages and never let go." Thank you, Jennifer!

I'd really like to connect with readers and authors here, because FB is filled with ads and crap. My friends' posts are lost, like mine. It feels daunting to try to get the word out about my 2 upcoming thrillers, let alone the 2 true crime books that came out this year. Are you out there?

Amid all the chaos and mayhem, a nice man handed out flowers to the ladies at the breakfast place in my neighborhood this morning. "Because it matters," he said, asking Geza's permission to give me this pretty yellow rose with peach tipping. Yes, it does. Thank you.
