When Darlene Saunders accepts a position at West-Haven Care, she hopes for a fresh start and a chance to keep the promise she made to her late grandmother: to care for the elderly with heart. But something about West-Haven defies logic - Death never arrives and Cora Place is always nearby.
Darlene shrugs off the strange patterns but then come the anomalies: a patient record from 1967 that lists Cora’s age as sixty-four and a former nurse whispering that the dead don’t belong among the living.
Some souls are meant to guide - others are meant to be kept out. On the road between life and death, not everyone is just passing through. If the wrong one finds a way in, there may be no safe place at all.
No Place for Evil.
For fans of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones and Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet in Heaven, No Place for Evil is a powerful story of love and what waits beyond the veil — a haunting exploration of finding meaning when all seems lost, and the quiet souls who help us find our way.

Author of Beyond the Gates, a gothic horror novel best read by candlelight, ideally in a crumbling estate with questionable plumbing, and No Place For Evil, a supernatural thriller that opens doors better left closed. When I’m not resurrecting the dead or disturbing the peaceful, I write stories that smell like mildew and dread (and occasionally something just goofy as all get out). Join me where the shadows linger — and the endings aren't always happy.
Final edit is complete - awaiting the finishing touches on the cover design - excited to share this heartwarming supernatural thriller with all of you Jan. 15, 2026.
