New Thriller Release from Christopher Greyson!
Ten years ago, four people were brutally murdered. One girl lived.
No one believes her story.
The police think she’s crazy.
Her therapist thinks she’s suicidal.
Everyone else thinks she’s a dangerous drunk.
They’re all right—but did she see the killer?
As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be—her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor’s guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister’s killer—and then discovers that she’s the one being hunted.
How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone’s a suspect—including herself?
From the mind of Wall Street Journal bestselling author Christopher Greyson comes a story with twists and turns that take the reader on a journey of light and dark, good and evil, to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop. Not since Girl on the Train and Gone Girl has a psychological thriller kept readers so addicted—and guessing right until the last page.

Handsome white-knight police officer Jack Stratton is back in this action-packed, thrilling adventure. When his sexy old flame disappears, no one thinks it's suspicious except Jack and one unbalanced witness. Jack feels in his gut that something is wrong. He knows that Marisa has a past, and if it ever caught up with her - it would be deadly. Determined to buck the critics and listen to his instincts, he and his feisty sidekick Alice (aka Replacement) plunge ahead and start tracking down leads, hoping to find Marisa in time.
The trail leads them into all sorts of trouble - landing them smack in the middle of an all-out mob war between the Italian Mafia and the Japanese Yakuza. When evidence surfaces that Marisa was kidnapped, Jack must navigate through the warring parties, assassins, and cold-blooded hit men to outwit the cunning kidnappers before it is too late. As the body count rises, the stakes in this game are life and death, with no rules except one - Jacks Are Wild.
If you love a strong hero, smart women sleuths, and more twists and turns than a piece of licorice - you have found your book!
PICK UP A COPY TODAYJack looked up at the giant, dead body brazenly hung on the quaint Welcome to Darrington sign. He turned to the town’s mayor. “Mayor Lewis, when you said people had nothing to fear, it pricked the killer's vanity. He’s using this latest victim to send you a message: Be afraid. Be very afraid—of him. If you want to catch this serial killer, you need to feed his ego. Tell the people he’s right. They should be scared—no one’s safe while he controls the town.”
Rogue hero Jack Stratton is back in another action-packed, thrilling adventure. While recovering from a gunshot wound and the loss of his job on the police force, Jack’s romance with feisty Alice (aka Replacement) continues to develop. When Alice gets a seemingly harmless private investigation job—locate the owner of a lost dog—Jack grudgingly assists. Little do they know it will place them both in the crosshairs of a merciless serial killer.

I'm driving in circles, caught in some loop that I can't break out of. I want to know why she abandoned me...but some things, I guess, I'll never know...
Handsome police officer Jack Stratton is the "hometown hero cop with a heart of gold." Constant nightmares have forced him to seek answers about his rough childhood and the dark secrets hidden there. With Alice (aka Replacement) by his side, Jack travels to Hope Falls to solve a murder that occurred before he was born. Everyone in the small town remembers the unsolved murder of Steven Ritter, but after 27 years, no one thought that someone would look into it--but they don't know Jack.

The Top 10 Reasons I Love Being An Indie Author
During the month of October, Amazon is celebrating Indie Authors and I am honored to be featured. They’ve asked me to share why I love being an Indie Author so here are my top 10:
10. The Thrill of Discovery
Journey to an undiscovered country or a whole new world. Cast off the bow lines of your imagination and set sail toward whatever star you pick. You’re the captain of your own ship and the destination is w10.here ever you want to go!
9. You’re the Boss
There’s no cigar chomping editor telling you what you can or can’t write. A committee didn’t set your due dates. Gatekeeper? HA! It’s you and you alone calling the shots!
8. Have Pen Will Travel
With all the new technology you can capture an idea whenever one leaps to mind. Jot it down on your phone, take a voice note on your watch or use a napkin and a crayon, you can write and work anywhere.
7. Everything is Work and Work is Good
When you love your job, it’s good to be on duty twenty-four seven. It doesn’t matter if you’re out for a jog or at the store. You’re collecting information constantly. Is the old, run down scary building that you’re jogging by a perfect setting for your horror novel? Isn’t your neighbor’s unique way of speaking just perfect for a character in your new thriller?
6. Change is Good
Have you ever wanted a do-over? Well, Indie authors get them. Find a typo in your published novel? No problem! With a push of a button, and the help of Amazon, we republish! Talk about power.
5. You’re Not Alone
You may be captain of your own ship but you are far from alone on the high seas. If you need help learning to sail, there are thousands of fellow adventures willing to lend a hand. Forums, books and blogs offer countless advice to make what had been a perilous journey smooth sailing.
4. You’re the Schedule Maker
Not only do you dance to the beat of your own drum, but you sail on a tide that you set! You get to write when, where and how you want. It doesn’t get better than that.
3. Your Space—Your Place
Set your writing space up to be your own happy place. You’re not under the yoke of a corporate office. If you want to have posters on your walls, action figures on your desk and write while wrapped up in your favorite bathrobe — go for it! It’s good to be king.
2. You’ve Made It
Being an Indie author means you are an AUTHOR. You’re in the club. You’ve arrived. When someone asks you where they can get your book you can look them in the eye and say—anywhere. E-book or print you’ve got it covered.
And the #1 reason to love being an Indie Author
1. Reach New Readers
The world just got a whole lot smaller. Not long ago, it would take a lifetime to get your work out globally. Now with the push of a button—ZOOM! People everywhere can read what you write.
Being an Indie Author is an adventure like no other. Cast off from the dock, point your bow out to sea and unfurl the sails. There’s never been a better time to start your journey. God speed and may the wind be at your back!
