AJ’s Message to Readers:
BOOK 3 is done!!! GONE IN FLASH WAS RELEASED ON NOV 1, 2025!
Per Zakex Louies, blogger –
“Quatrano’s ability to blend pulse pounding suspense with real world issues like human trafficking and cartel crime is both gripping and meaningful. It’s rare to find a mystery that balances adrenaline with heart where justice, danger, and human emotion collide so powerfully.
The Point and Shoot Mystery Series has all the hallmarks of a breakout success cinematic pacing, complex characters, and deeply relevant themes. I can see tremendous potential for thriller lovers, crime fiction circles, and socially aware readers who crave depth with their suspense.”
DESCRIPTION:

When her investigation arouses D.C. intelligence, AJ and her attorney husband, Travis Buchanan, are pulled into a deadly conspiracy involving powerful drug cartels, black operations, and a murdered DEA agent. They must navigate betrayal and fight ruthless forces to rescue vulnerable children targeted for exploitation before they vanish forever.

When Antonia is invited to the wedding of cousin Merline of Louisiana, she and Travis are planning some romantic vacation time in the steamy city of New Orleans. She even hopes to learn more about her mother’s family, people her father refuses to discuss. But when the cousins start dropping like flies and Merline disappears, Antonia and Travis find themselves drawn into a macabre play that’s as fraught with intrigue as MacBeth. Some say the spirits of her ancestors will protect her; others say those ancestors want her dead!
I love mysteries. I love to read them, watch them and write them. I’ve adored these penned puzzles since I read my first Nancy Drew which was a REALLY long time ago! My romance roots with New Jersey Romance Writers nurtured my love for happy endings – or at least, not horrible ones, so my mysteries are a blend of the two genres: mainstream mysteries with less-than-horrific endings!

When attempts on her life follow on the heels of finding her missing client dead in the crosshairs of her camera lens, private investigator AJ Buchanan must determine if those threats are related to the death of that client. It’s just as likely they’re related to her husband’s defense of a local woman accused of murdering an abusive husband.
Or, something from AJ’s past.
“I shoot people for a living.”
