While Shooter refrained from commenting on specifics, he expressed great enthusiasm for collaborating with Post Hill Press. He noted, “These stories are sharp, fast-paced, and full of behind-the-scenes drama that I’ve spent my career following. Whisper is just the beginning.”

Anthony Ziccardi, a representative from Post Hill Press, praised Shooter’s unique ability to connect with audiences. He described Shooter’s writing as “bold and addictive,” stating that the stories promise to captivate readers.
