THE LOST GIRL COMES TO FANFARE!


Welcome to FANFARE! We are pleased to announce our FANFARE Campaign to raise the money needed to publish Alan Jacobson's newest standalone novel, THE LOST GIRL.

We plan to begin production on THE LOST GIRL so that it can be delivered in early September.

It has been over a decade since we first met Alan Jacobson, and nine years since the publication of the first Norwood Press edition in Alan’s bestselling Karen Vail series, INMATE 1577.





Amy Robbins suffers a tragedy no one should ever endure:
the loss of her young daughter and husband in a deadly accident. Mired in a depressive fog, her successful career vanishes - followed by her life savings and the will to live. But while bidding her time in a dead-end job, she stumbles on something that upends everything - and lays bear a disturbing truth at the heart of a tragic lie. With fixer Micky Keller attempting to take from Amy the last hope she has for a return to a normal lie, her sister-in-law-FBI Agent Loren Ryder-squares off against Keller. The Lost Girl reaches a heart-pounding climax that will leave you wondering who are the good guys and who are the bad.


PRE-PUBLICATION FANFARE GOAL: $6,995

PLEDGE UPDATE:
Thank you for the overwhelming response to our Fanfare Campaign for The Lost Girl. As of today, August 11th, we have raised $11,135 in pledges. The Lost Girl is in production. Only a few days remain to make your pledge and receive one of the many packages.


Norwood Press editions include INMATE 1577 (2012), HARD TARGET (2012), NO WAY OUT (2013), SPECTRUM (2014), THE LOST CODEX (2015), DARKNESS OF EVIL (2017), DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (2018), and RED DEATH (2020).

THE KAREN VAIL SERIES: She is no ordinary FBI agent.

She’s a profiler, brought to life by Alan Jacobson’s seven years of unprecedented access to, and research with, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. The Karen Vail series has been raved about by reviewers, readers, law enforcement officers of all stripes, real FBI profilers…and even one of the legendary founding fathers of the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico.
The Karen Vail novels have been named to the Top 10 Best Books of the Year lists for The Strand Magazine, Library Journal, Suspense Magazine, and The Los Angeles Times. So step into the world of Karen Vail and discover a character James Patterson called “As compelling as any created by Patricia Cornwell,” Nelson DeMille described as “A hell of a lady: tough, smart, funny, and very believable,” and Michael Connelly referred to as “My kind of hero.”

THE OPSIG TEAM BLACK SERIES: America’s safety is on the line. Dangerous missions need to be carried out and they can’t be traced back to the United States. Who gets the call?

“Black” missions the United States government cannot sanction—or acknowledge—fall under the purview of OPSIG, the Operations Support Intelligence Group, run out of a secret office in the basement of the Pentagon. Hector DeSantos, a covert special forces operative introduced in The Hunted, teams up with other OPSIG Team Black members—including Aaron “Uzi” Uziel, FBI profiler Karen Vail, and the clandestine group’s founder, FBI Director Douglas Knox. Their mission: keep America safe from terror attacks, international assassins, rogue governments intent on doing the US harm, and other threats the public will never know about. From the streets of America to the back alleys of Gaza, England, France, and a variety of exotic locales, OPSIG’s global reach takes on exceedingly dangerous and far-reaching missions with such authenticity that a real Navy SEAL described them as, “Incredibly realistic. This is how we did it in the SEAL teams.”
