For nine years, Harrow Creek has dreaded the final five nights of October. Every year, beginning October 27, five people die. Each victim is meticulously dressed, posed, and transformed into a grotesque work of art. Then, as suddenly as the killings begin, they stop—until the following Halloween season. Forty-five victims. No arrests. No answers. Now the killer has returned for his tenth performance. When hardware-store owner Harold Benton is found beneath the courthouse clock, dressed for Halloween and wearing an impossible painted grin, Chief Grant Hollis knows the nightmare has begun again. A card tucked into the scene delivers the promise Harrow Creek has feared: 1 OF 5. As four more nights close in, Grant and Detective Rachel Simmons race to uncover the pattern behind the killer’s elaborate displays. But this year is different. The murders are becoming more theatrical, more personal—and every carefully staged death appears to be building toward one final performance. Because the killer has spent ten years preparing his masterpiece. And this Halloween, someone in Harrow Creek is meant to take center stage. FIVE NIGHTS. FIVE VICTIMS. ONE FINAL PERFORMANCE.

In the modern city of Saint Veil, Nyra Voss is a twenty-three-year-old night-shift EMT who has spent her life hiding the strange mark on her palm. She has no idea that the mark connects her to the Hollowborn, a supernatural bloodline believed to have been erased from existence seven hundred years ago. Nyra is the last living Hollowborn—and her power is unlike anything vampires or werewolves have ever encountered. With a single touch, she can strip supernatural beings of their powers and even end the immortality of creatures thought impossible to kill. But every use of her ability comes at a dangerous cost. When a mysterious murder threatens to expose the truth behind the Hollowborn’s extinction, Nyra is pulled into a deadly conflict between two powerful supernatural rulers: Lucien Draven, a dangerously alluring vampire prince bound to his king, and Kael Thorne, the ruthless Alpha of the Blackmere werewolves, who knows more about Nyra’s past than he is willing to admit. As secrets unravel, Nyra discovers that the history she has been taught may be a lie. The vampires and wolves have their own reasons for keeping the Hollowborn forgotten, and someone is willing to kill to ensure the truth stays buried. Each clue brings Nyra closer to the people responsible for destroying her bloodline—and closer to a power she may not be able to control. Caught between forbidden attraction, shifting loyalties, and a mystery that reaches back centuries, Nyra must decide whom she can trust before the supernatural world turns against her. But the deeper she digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes: the Hollowborn may not have been erased simply because they were dangerous. They may have been erased because someone feared what they could become. Nyra was never supposed to survive. Now the bloodline they tried to erase may be the one that brings their kingdoms to their knees.

It is 4:40 a.m. on a Tuesday in September when Marianne Sauer packs twelve sandwiches and tells her son to watch the header. By afternoon the header is still running and the boy is not. What follows is not a breakdown. It is a sequence. An engineering report. A denial letter that is true in every sentence. A co-op notice. A town hall where the water for a substation costs forty-one thousand dollars and a farm family’s useful life is treated as a line item. A cousin who takes a job with the company that needs the ground. A court order to move a burial. A settlement statement with a transfer fee tidier than grief. Emmett Sauer does what he has always done. He finishes the chop. He milks. He runs the numbers. He answers the phone trees. He sells the animals. He keeps the horse too long. He leaves the television on so the house has a voice in it. And in the months the closing papers give him alone with the doors shut, he does the last job a man like him knows how to do: he builds. Inspired by the true shadow of Colorado’s “Killdozer,” CHOP is something colder and closer to home — a Wisconsin dairy novel about how institutions harvest a life, and what happens when the only language left is horsepower. For readers of rural noir and literary crime who can sit with silence, process, and a night that does not look away.

Audrey Lowe has never dreamed of falling in love with anyone until she met the love of her life. Shawn Cunning’s but when Shawn goes missing it is up to Audrey to find out what happened to him. Nothing will stop her from uncovering the secrets about the man she loves…

In Gravepoint, blood determines everything—and Nyx Calder’s has always made her less. Half witch and half something no one can explain, twenty-three-year-old Nyx has spent her life surviving a supernatural society ruled by powerful pureblood Houses. To vampires, witches, lycans, and elementals, hybrids are mistakes to tolerate, control, or quietly erase. Nyx learned to keep her head down, hide what she could do, and let everyone believe she was weak. Then her power wakes up. Nyx isn’t just another hybrid. She is Nullborn—the descendant of a bloodline the Houses tried to erase because her kind can do the impossible: resist supernatural control, bypass ancient wards, and rewrite the very rules magic is built upon. Suddenly, the girl nobody considered a threat becomes the one person capable of dismantling the system that made them untouchable. As Nyx uncovers PROJECT: ECLIPSE VEIN, the Ashfall Initiative, and the horrifying truth behind the Houses’ experiments on hybrids like her, survival stops being enough. With rebel pureblood Mara Vale and the dangerously mysterious Orion at her side—and arrogant vampire heir Cassian Vale getting far too close for either of their comfort—Nyx turns her attention toward the people who spent generations deciding whose blood deserved power. But the Houses have one final weapon: the Eclipse Failsafe, a citywide contingency designed specifically to hunt and destroy Nullborn before they can threaten the supernatural order. There’s just one problem. The purebloods built their empire believing Nyx Calder would always play by their rules. They should have killed her before she learned she could rewrite them.

Detective **Janiece Montgomery** has spent her career fighting for justice, protecting the innocent, and holding people accountable. She knows how to read a crime scene, recognize a lie, and notice the details other people overlook. But nothing in her career prepares her for the day her **eighteen-year-old daughter, Priscilla, is arrested after a routine traffic stop**. Priscilla knows she is innocent. Janiece knows something is wrong. The evidence against her daughter appears convincing at first, but the deeper Janiece looks, the more the story begins to unravel.

An investigation that feels deliberately controlled. And behind it all are people Janiece once trusted. Because this case is bigger than Priscilla's arrest. As Janiece follows one troubling detail after another, she uncovers a dangerous network of corruption, abuse of authority, buried investigations, and protected officers reaching far beyond the original traffic stop. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. Then Janiece realizes the most terrifying possibility of all: **Her daughter may not be the only person being targeted.** Now she must fight two battles at once—one as a mother desperate to save her daughter and another as a detective determined to expose a system willing to destroy anyone who gets too close to the truth. But some secrets were buried for a reason. And some people will do anything to keep them buried. **THE LAST CASE** is a gripping crime thriller about family, corruption, betrayal, courage, and the fight for justice when the very people sworn to protect you become the greatest threat.

The trilogy begins in Nashville, where **Emma Hayes** is drawn into a mystery that initially appears to be about the music industry but gradually exposes something much older and more dangerous. What begins as an investigation into a suspicious death becomes a story about missing people, buried secrets, corrupted power, and the lengths people will go to keep the past from being heard. At the center of it all is **Hollow Sound**, a decades-old thread running through Nashville's music world—a history of people whose stories were erased, altered, or deliberately forgotten. Emma's investigation brings her into the orbit of **Spencer Morgan**, a detective whose professional instincts repeatedly put him at odds with Emma's determination to follow a story wherever it leads. Their relationship develops gradually through the investigation, built first on mutual respect and eventually on something much deeper. They also meet **Sadie Brooks**, a young woman with ambitions of becoming an investigative journalist. Sadie initially enters the story because of her connection to the case, but the investigation becomes deeply personal. By the end of the trilogy, she has lost people she loves—including **Lila and her father**—and the experience permanently changes the direction of her life. And then there is **Wade Mercer**. Wade is older, more experienced, and considerably less interested in explaining himself than anyone else in the group. He isn't the team's detective or journalist, but his knowledge of Nashville, its people, and its history repeatedly becomes important. Over the course of the trilogy, Wade becomes part of the group's emotional foundation. What begins as four people connected by circumstance eventually becomes something much more important: **a family built in the aftermath of terrible things.**

# **A MEMORY OF SAM** Luke stood alone at the riverbank, watching the Mississippi move beneath the pale morning light.The water was different today. Or maybe he was. Since returning to Belle Rive, he had found himself remembering things he'd spent years trying to forget. His father's voice. The smell of tobacco on his work shirt. The way Sam McCall would stand on the porch at dusk, staring toward the river as though the water had answers no one else could hear. And then there was the conversation with Miss Clara. Luke closed his eyes. He could still hear her voice. *"There were two of them, Luke."* She had spoken those words quietly, almost reluctantly. *"Two men came after your daddy."* Luke remembered the way her hands had trembled in her lap. *"I know one of them."* "Simmons?" *"Snake Eye Simmons."* She nodded. *"Yes. Snake Eye. I'd know that man anywhere."*    Luke opened his eyes and stared across the river. He remembered asking her the question that had haunted him ever since. *"Who was the other man?"* Miss Clara had looked away. *"I don't know."* At the time, Luke had pressed her. "You're sure?" Her eyes were filled with tears. *"I saw two men. I heard their voices. I knew Simmons. But the other one..."* She had shaken her head. *"I never saw his face clearly enough to swear who he was."* Luke remembered the frustration he'd felt. He had wanted a name. A second name. Someone to blame. Someone to find. But Miss Clara had only given him the truth she possessed. She knew **Snake Eye Simmons** had been there. She knew there had been another man. But she had never known for certain who that man was. Luke let out a slow breath. For so long, he'd carried the second man around in his mind like a ghost with a face he couldn't see. Perhaps that was all the man would ever be.A shadow. A voice. A pair of footsteps disappearing into the darkness.  Luke reached into his coat and touched the folded letter his father had left behind. He had learned many things since coming home.Some truths had hurt. Others had healed wounds he hadn't even known were there. But one thing had finally become clear. He didn't need to invent an answer simply because he wanted one. Miss Clara had told him what she knew. Nothing more. Nothing less. **Snake Eye Simmons had been one of the men responsible for his father's death.**  The identity of the second man remained unknown. And perhaps, Luke thought, that was where the story needed to end. For now. He looked down at the river. The current carried a small piece of driftwood past his boots. Luke watched it disappear around the bend. "Some secrets aren't ready to be found," he whispered. Then he turned toward town. He had no idea how wrong he was. Because beneath the muddy water of the Mississippi, something was already waiting for him. Something that would make him question everything he thought he knew. And this time..the river was going to give up its secret.

For fifty years, Earl has known how to make things disappear. At the far edge of his farm, where the grass gives way to red clay, the burn pile has swallowed a lifetime of old papers, worn clothes, forgotten belongings—and things better left unnamed. Four days after burying his wife, Maren, Earl returns to the pile to honor one of her final requests: **Don’t let it go cold. There’s still things that need burning.** But something beneath the ash refuses to burn. And as Earl begins to dig, the past he's spent half a century reducing to smoke starts giving things back. **Some things survive the fire. Some things wait.**

**Magick was never meant to remain hidden forever.** For generations, seven ancient bloodlines have guarded powers older than recorded history, bound by uneasy alliances, inherited obligations, and secrets that could reshape the mortal world. At the center of those secrets is **Azure Creed**. Born into a legacy he never fully understood, Azure finds himself drawn deeper into a world of forbidden magick, immortal beings, ancient creatures, secret organizations, and family histories deliberately buried for centuries. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far more dangerous—a struggle over who should control magick, who deserves to wield it, and what happens when the old rules begin to collapse. But Azure is only one piece of a much larger story. Across decades and continents, the **Shattered Myths** series follows witches, immortals, supernatural creatures, covert agents, and the powerful families whose choices have quietly shaped history. Alliances shift. Legends prove dangerously real. Love complicates destiny. Events once dismissed as myth reveal themselves as fragments of a hidden truth. As the boundaries between worlds weaken, the consequences of the past begin reaching into the present—and every secret uncovered brings the world closer to a conflict that has been waiting generations to begin. **Some myths were created to explain the impossible. Others were created to keep it hidden.**

Powerful men—ruthless, powerful, untouchable. Strong women—defiant, daring, unforgettable. In a world built on blood, power, and deception, they rule the underworld like kings— and the women who cross their paths soon learn that love is just another weapon. Each story bleeds with vengeance, seduction, and secrets too dangerous to keep. Alliances are forged in violence. Loyalties are tested in fire. And hearts are shattered in the name of power.

Betrayal. Obsession. Love twisted into war. Welcome to the Sinfully Corrupt Series. Where the wicked crave redemption, the broken crave control, and passion always demands a price.

Then they meet the women they were never supposed to want. Women who challenge them, defy them, uncover their secrets—and become the one weakness their enemies are willing to exploit. With criminal empires at war, old debts resurfacing, betrayals closing in, and bodies piling up, love becomes more than dangerous. It becomes a liability. An obsession. A reason to kill. Each interconnected standalone delivers a new couple, a new threat, and a darker kind of devotion—where protection borders on possession, enemies become lovers, and choosing the wrong person could cost everything. **Because in this empire, love doesn’t save monsters.** **It gives them something worth destroying the world for.**

A girl born in the early 60s learns that in life, there's not always going to be someone to save you. The story captures the resilience, strength, courage as well as ways to get even against people who have hurt her, or her friends, in comical actions. Her father George became her silent hero, and with his silent actions, taught her the ups and down in life. *Life taught me to be strong.* *The men who cheated on me...* *Well, they taught me to be creative.*   People have asked me about the title of this book. Some assume it's about anger. Others think it's about revenge. It isn't. Wrath isn't always loud. Sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it's walking away. Sometimes it's refusing to let someone else's betrayal define your worth. And sometimes... It's a harmless prank that reminds a person they should have treated you better in the first place. I never believed in cruelty. Life had already shown me enough of that. But I did believe in consequences. Especially the kind that could make you laugh years later. If that's wrath... Then I suppose I'm guilty.
