The Crippling (Gretel Book Five) is live!

A cruel young queen in search of what she believes is rightfully hers. A mysterious woman willing to sacrifice her own to gain the ultimate power.

New evils, more terrifying than their predecessors, are rising and threatening the land.

Gretel and Hansel have returned from the Old World to prepare for their latest quest: to find the lost books of Orphism.

But one of those books, The Book of the Crippling, has already been unleashed, and its contents reveal a power unmatched in history.

It is up to Gretel and Hansel, as well as their mother, Anika, who has spent the last decade as a nomad at the opposite end of the earth, to stop the converging evils from capturing the book and controlling the world.

The Crippling is the fifth book in the Gretel series.

Happy Release Day for The Origin #horrorbooks #horrorthrillers

I’m very excited to announce that The Origin released today.

It’s the sequel to last year’s The Sighting, and, as the title suggests, it tells the origin of the mysterious creature that appeared one morning on a beach on the east coast of America.

The novel follows two narratives–one following the main character from the first novel, and one that takes place over 400 years earlier during the time of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

I’ve always loved the idea of historical mysteries, especially ones that, even with all of today’s information sharing and technology, still can’t quite be solved, and the Lost Colony is a perfect example of that.

The Origin was a lot of fun to write for that reason, since it allowed me to posit my own ‘theories’ about what may have happened to those early American settlers.

I hope you enjoy it!

Sneak Peek from The Origin (The Sighting Book Two) #horrorbooks #thrillerbooks #kindleunlimited

The Origin, The Sighting Book Two, releases on December 17, 2018 on Amazon. I can’t wait to share this book with you!

Here’s a sneak peek:

–“Shane, what are you doing? I told you to stay put.”

Shane pulled the ice chipper from the pouch and gripped it with a strength that was foreign to him. He felt a ripple in his undeveloped bicep and forearm that suggested there was more to his form than what he saw in the mirror each morning. It could be a false sense of strength, Shane recognized this possibility; after all, he wouldn’t reach puberty for another three or four years. But there was a new power inside of him. A new belief in his life that filled him with vigor, and he was at a point now, both in life and at that very moment, that the only way he could see to move forward was to believe in this power.

He closed his eyes and focused on the approaching sound of his father’s footsteps, feeling the grains of sand at his feet as they pushed through the narrow cracks of his toes.

“Shane!”

Shane opened his eyes to see the top of the sun pushing through to the horizon, and rising in front of the star, a dark shadow was being born from the sea.

The dark mass moved quickly upward, rising so that its shoulders breached the sea like two mountains, pushing forward through the water as it rose, encroaching the shoreline with a speed Shane would never have believed possible.

“Oh my god!”

Shane heard his father’s voice directly behind him—he could almost feel the breath on the back of his neck—and without allowing another thought to enter his mind, Shane spun around and dropped to his knees, and then plunged the six prongs of the ice chipper into the top of his father’s left foot.

Gerald DeRose screamed in agony, the sound rattling the dawn air like a gunshot. People would come, Shane thought, certainly the man in the house.

But it was a secondary thought to Shane now. All he could think about was the Black and Purple man.

Shane looked up at his father’s face, measuring his level of incapacitation by the grimace of pain. But there was only disbelief in his father’s eyes as he stared down at his son, and Shane imagined how difficult that must have been for him to avert his gaze from the majesty of the approaching giant.

“Shane? What are..?”

They were the final three words Shane would ever hear his father say. With both hands around the handle of the ice chipper now, Shane lifted the weapon from the top of his father’s foot and then spun it deftly in his hands so that the daggers were pointing straight toward the sky. Shane shot himself upward like a rocket ship, feeling a similar strength that he had felt in his biceps now in his thighs, and thrust the ice chipper into his father’s throat. He twisted it once, hoping to lodge it there tightly, but it was barely hanging on when he let go.

Gerald DeRose grabbed at the kitchen tool with his hands and pulled it from his larynx, only making the damage worse. The opening in his jugular vein was wide, severe, and blood erupted from the wound like lava from a volcano.

Shane watched in wonder, his neck and face twitching in a combination of fear and horror and wonderment, both at what he was seeing and at what he had just done. But the feeling lasted only a moment; his god was coming, preparing to devour, and there was nothing else in the world right now but that.

Shane walked slowly backwards toward the dune where his father had lain in wait only moments earlier, and as he retreated, he fixated on the gnashing mouth of the sea god approaching.–
