Sinopsis

MS-13 has brought evil to the streets of Fort Myers, FL; they are kidnapping young girls and forcing them into prostitution. Their biggest problem isn't the police, however, it's Callie Babich, an exceptionally bright, principled, unassuming, quirky, teenager who is just 5 feet tall, but tough as nails.

Callie is determined to become a commercial ship captain and after her father, a shrimper, refuses to give her needed sea time on his boat or support her career choice in any way, Callie moves to Boca Grande for the summer and into the home of a wealthy aunt who empowers her in ways she’d never imagined. Callie gets a job on a commercial ferry to advance her sea time and starts training in the brutal martial art of Krav Maga to help her compensate for her tiny stature.

She returns home in the Fall and one evening interrupts an MS-13 abduction and takes down two gang members in the process. As a result, she and her entire family become targets of the ruthless gang. Fearing for Callie’s life and the lives of her family, her aunt gets in touch with Jesse McDermitt and Billy Rainwater (two of Wayne Stinnett’s iconic characters) and an epic battle takes place with Callie, Billy, and Eva Dahan (Callie’s Krav Maga instructor), up against MS-13.

Callie Awakens: Book I, was the recipient of a prestigious 1st Place CIBA CLUE award for best in category in Suspense/Thrillers in June of 2022.
