Brighton Publishing announces print release of At Risk, by renowned author Jackie Ullerich

Nov. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Brighton Publishing LLC today announced the print release of author Jackie Ullerich’s bestselling debut novel, At Risk. This first edition is now available in print at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and bookstores nationwide. Her second novel, The Bride Stands Alone, has also recently been released in eBook and will be available in print in early-2012.

In At Risk, Jackie Ullerich takes readers on a vacation cruise they’ll never forget. A disparate group of passengers dine together nightly. They each have their reasons for being on this cruise, each have their own secrets. In their intimacy and interaction, aspects of their lives are revealed, bonds are made and broken, and a series of events are set in motion that will forever change their lives.

Jack Watkins is a retired military officer with a deep hatred inside for those unlike him. Racism, bigotry, and a dangerous temper are a terrible combination in such close quarters. His potential to lose control is enormous, especially as his irrational mistrust for his wife grows.

Patty and Ben Redford appear to be a warm, stable couple, the epitome of a loving marriage. But not even Ben, a university professor and FBI consultant, is immune to Jack’s vortex of evil. Very soon, the perfect couple may be at dangerous odds with more than just one another.

Immediately in Jack’s crosshairs is Tracy Bradshaw, a young socialite who, in her husband’s absence, is seeking answers to the emptiness in her life. And her own family history, if revealed, may put her directly in harm’s way.

There are only dark sides to racism and bigotry, but in the confined space of a cruise ship, these evils will fester and grow until unease escalates into full-blown terror. As everyone finds themselves in very dire straits, staying alive becomes the ultimate goal. When everything you love is truly at risk, survival is all that matters.

“Jackie Ullerich weaves a tale of high seas suspense as good as any published in the last decade, with a plot that will keep readers turning the pages wondering what she’ll come up with next,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC.

Jackie Ullerich is a graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles with a degree in Theater Arts and English. Ullerich is a retired high school English and drama teacher, and has since become a Master Teacher in her field. She is the author of two novels, At Risk and The Bride Stands Alone, both published by Brighton Publishing LLC.
