Meet the Authors Behind Metal Viper

Live at Collected Works in Santa Fe

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to visit Santa Fe in June, this is it.

Bestselling thriller author Sarah Lovett and international justice advocate Ron Schultz will be appearing at Collected Works Bookstore on June 7th for a special reading and signing of their new novel, Metal Viper, the first book in their electrifying new Kae Zhang Series.

This is more than a simple bookstore signing — it’s a chance to meet two powerhouse storytellers whose combined experience spans global justice work, high-stakes thrillers, and deeply human narratives. Together, they’ve created a series that blends sharp suspense, moral complexity, and a heroine you won’t soon forget.

Why This Event Matters

Metal Viper has already been turning heads for its timely themes and cinematic pacing, and hearing Sarah and Ron read from the book in person brings the story to life in a whole new way. They’ll also be discussing the real-world inspirations behind the series, their collaborative writing process, and what readers can expect from Book Two.

Whether you’re a longtime fan, a thriller lover, or simply someone who enjoys hearing authors talk about the craft, this is an event worth marking on your calendar.

And Let’s Be Honest… It’s Santa Fe

If you’re going to attend a book event, you might as well do it in one of the most beautiful literary cities in the Southwest. Come for the reading, stay for the art, the atmosphere, and—of course—the green chile. No trip to Santa Fe is complete without it, and this event gives you the perfect excuse to indulge.
