|

LOS ANGELES -- Elena Vasquez released her debut novel "Echoes of the Forgotten" on Thursday through Horizon Books. The 320-page thriller follows a group of strangers navigating a fire-ravaged city. Vasquez, 42, spent two years researching the story based on California wildfires.
|
||||
|
||||
The book highlights themes of resilience amid environmental catastrophe, incorporating interviews with first responders. It marks Vasquez's transition from investigative reporting at the Los Angeles Times to fiction writing after a decade in newsrooms.
|
||||
|
||||
"I saw how fires don't just destroy homes—they shatter communities and force people to confront their limits," Vasquez said. "This story is about what happens when everyday choices become life-or-death."
|
||||
|
||||
"Echoes of the Forgotten" is available in hardcover, ebook and audiobook formats from retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores nationwide. Preorder sales exceeded 15,000 copies last month. Vasquez will appear at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on October 20.
