Hidden Gems

This year I happened to realize something that got my mind spinning in many directions. Back in 2007 (well, technically very […]

Blackwater Lake
I bring to you a FREE psychological suspense novella! Introducing… For those who may not know, novella means short novel. In other words, this is not a full-length novel. That doesn’t mean it won’t pack a good punch, though! With around 26,000 words, this makes the perfect book to read for those short […]
