High-stakes wilderness thrillers taking shape on the page

Every thriller begins with a spark — a news headline, a whispered fragment, a question that won't let go. Sterling's current works-in-progress are rooted in real research, real places, and the very real darkness that lurks just outside the edges of ordinary American life.
