Connection Pre-Order
Many of you reached out to me after reading Healer, my book set in a boarding school for child victims of trauma called Havenhart Academy. Well...The follow-up to Healer, which is titled Connection, is now up for pre-order at a low price!
https://books2read.com/u/mVRDdZ
Here's the blurb:
From the author of Healer comes Connection, a tale of supernatural suspense in which one man's search for redemption pits him against a cunning religious leader and his community who are preparing for a violent end of the world.
Retired Army Captain Jackson Howe views his ability to "connect" with others as invasive and inconvenient, but he deals with it by only using his power to help others. He's found purpose at Havenhart Academy using art therapy with child victims of trauma and his friends have embraced him and his quirky behavior, but after meeting Delaney's friend Cassidy—and developing a stronger than usual "connection" with her—he fears he's destined to forever be on the outside looking in.
But when Cassidy's link to Havenhart makes her a target and the plane she's flying is hijacked, she's forced to crashland in the Florida Everglades and becomes a pawn in the struggle between good and evil. Jackson will call on his training—and special skills—to save her from an enemy determined to spread evil and hurt those Jackson holds dear.
Follow the continuing saga of Havenhart Academy in Book Two of the Gifted Series.
18+ for violence and language. Best read after Healer: Gifted Book One
Healer is also on special at 99 cents for a limited time! https://books2read.com/u/3LDgA0
I hope you'll join me on this little supernatural excursion!

Haunts and Hellions Release
I absolutely love writing contemporary and paranormal romance. I've had a blast telling stories of folks who love music and find love along the way. But my first love is Horror. I grew up watching Creature Features with my stepdad and renting horror VHS tapes from my local shop daily. I discovered HorrorAddicts.net through my writing buddy Emerian Rich and had my dream come true of writing short horror last year when "Breaking Bread" was accepted into the Dark Divinations anthology. When HorrorAddicts.net Press announced they were putting out a Gothic Horror Romance anthology this year, I channeled my love of Edgar Allan Poe's Fall of the House of Usher into a queer love story featuring college students at the newly-founded University of California, Berkeley. It's 1875... Sterling Mackey, heir to Virginia City silver riches is distraught when his lover Montgomery Mercer doesn't return to school from the holiday break and he travels by ferry across the San Francisco Bay to Mercer Manor where he learns a terrible secret about his beloved... I hope you'll join us for the release on May 13th of this fantastic collection of gothic horror!

Re-Released Favorites!
The Rock Season and Road Trip were two of my early contemporary romances and some of my readers still say they are faves. They've been given some revisions and brand-spankin-new covers and they're back for your enjoyment PLUS my novella from the Down and Dirty Anthology (2017? So long ago haha) has a new title, You Fell First, and it's up for pre-order! Visit my website at www.rlmerrillauthor.com for all the deets!
