HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Alabama author Daco S. Auffenorde releases her latest thriller, COVER YOUR TRACKS, published by Keylight Books, Turner Publishing's prestige imprint, which focuses on fiction that's ideal to adapt into movies, TV shows, and streaming content. "The entertainment industry is, of course, not easy to break into, and Keylight provides movie producers with perfect content," Auffenorde says. She should know. She's gotten an inside look into the movie business through her husband, Robert Rotstein, who's represented all the major motion picture studios, record companies, along with directors, writers, and performers like James Cameron, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Quincy Jones, among many others. "It's a privilege to have Keylight as a publisher," Auffenorde says. "They're cutting edge, and they know show business."

Sensational, new psychological thriller.

Daco S. Auffenorde, Author of Cover Your Tracks

COVER YOUR TRACKS tells the story of Margo Fletcher, who's eight months pregnant and traveling by train to her childhood home. A massive avalanche buries the train, and Margo and former Army Ranger Nick Eliot are the sole survivors. As the pair fight an unrelenting blizzard, frigid temperatures, feral predators, and imminent starvation, we learn that Margo and Nick have secrets that threaten to destroy them. The novel is a chilling story of love and hate, the devastating power of nature, and the will to survive.

"We live in tumultuous times," Auffenorde says. "Books remain a primary resource for entertainment. As for the silver screen, it's the perfect time to reset, gather talent, and plan for future book-to-film adaptions."
