Thank you Advanced Readers!

I really appreciate the Advanced Reader Team. I sent each of them an advanced digital copy of DARKNESS HIDES so they can read it prior to the book release. On April 27th, they posted reviews on Amazon, GoodReads, and other sites. For all their hard work, I’ll be mailing them a signed paperback of DARKNESS HIDES.

THANK YOU

“into the dimly lit apartment. Josh in front. Abbie, cradling Clem in her arms, one step behind. A lamp shined in the living room. The TV was showing an old episode of the Twilight Zone. Wrapping paper and uneaten cake still lay scattered on the coffee table. Clem meowed as Abbie turned toward the kitchen. Dharma came around the corner,”
J.C. Gatlin, 21 Dares

“Sitting on a bench across the street, a man wearing a brown hat and a tan trench coat held a pen and notepad in hands.”
J.C. Gatlin, 21 Dares

“apartment door. Clem strutted out, meowing and winding between Abbie’s legs. Abbie picked up the cat as she peeked into the living room. Everything looked quiet. They stepped into the dimly lit apartment. Josh in front. Abbie, cradling Clem in her arms, one step behind. A lamp shined in the living room. The TV was showing an old episode of the Twilight Zone. Wrapping paper and uneaten cake still lay scattered on the coffee table. Clem meowed as Abbie turned toward the kitchen. Dharma came around the corner,”
