Short and not so sweet

Good morning, my fellow lovers of literature! As promised, when you signed up to receive my weekly blog posts direct to your email, I am sending you exciting news before the general public learns about it.

I am so psyched to tease you with this amazing book cover ahead of the publication of my short story collection this summer! This masterpiece, like the cover for Redemption Falls, was created by the uber-talented Viktor Just (ko-fi.com/tealightjay), and without the use of AI technology, I am proud to say.

Now, you’re probably wondering what this whole collection of tales is all about. Don’t you worry, I’ve got you covered there as well:

The Veiled Connection

When a Halloween hunting trip flips sideways, Frank Taylor must confront a sinister presence hellbent on making him its prey.

Last Walk

Craig vows to send his aging beagle across the Rainbow Bridge himself. With a loaded Beretta pistol and a heavy heart, he walks the old girl one final time.

Taken Down

Randall White is on the trail to find his brother’s killer. Little does he know that the secret lurking in these dark Vermont Woods may be his undoing.

Stephen Must Die

“I’m here to kill Stephen King. Yes, that Stephen King. Tonight.”

Rudy’s Rescue

Melissa travels down an improbable path to find her missing Jack Russell Terrier. What she discovers along the way will challenge her grip on reality. 

Fresh Flowers

Three lifelong friends struggle with PTSD and the rapid march of time when one of their own develops a fatal, familial disease.

Free Car

When Marc finally finds the car of his dreams, he learns it comes with a heartbreaking catch. The Mustang is free, but can he afford the emotional cost?

The Unburnished Truth

Two siblings scramble to unlock clues to the mystery their deceased grandfather left for them to solve, yet some truths are meant to stay buried.

And that’s a wrap! Thanks again for your loyal support and encouragement. It keeps me going!

Hey, and in short, whatever you are, be a good one!
