Michelle Carey Returns to Fiction with Gripping Environmental Thriller "Haze"

CROFTON, Md. - Rezul -- Author Michelle Carey is proud to announce her highly anticipated return to the world of storytelling with her latest novel, "Haze." This release marks Carey's first work of fiction since 2023, following a prolific year in 2025 where she focused on empowering the literary community through four nonfiction titles, including two writing reference guides and two motivational books for authors.

"Haze" transports readers to the suffocating landscape of New Metro City, where a mysterious toxic smog has driven air quality indices to hazardous levels, forcing an immediate citywide lockdown. The narrative follows investigative journalist Emma Tolson, who is determined to expose the "rot" beneath the city's surface. After receiving an anonymous tip, Emma uncovers evidence that PureGreenAire, a powerful corporation claiming to be the city's environmental savior, has been systematically falsifying emissions reports while poisoning the community for profit.
