Beneath the Bones
(new edition of novel formerly titled Cross County)
When Joanne Talon was a child, she disappeared for six days. She returned without any memory of where she'd been and what happened to her during that time. Not long after that, four people were viciously murdered without apparent motive by Carl "the Cutter" Coulter. Carl cut their throats and then carved a bizarre symbol—a triangle bisected by a bolt of lightning—into their abdomens.
Now Joanne is Sheriff of Cross County, Ohio, and Carl Coulter is dead, executed for his crimes eight years ago. But the killings begin again: throats slashed, Carl's signature symbol carved into the victims' stomachs. Joanne, with the help of reporter Dale Ramsey, must discover who's copying Carl's crimes and why. To make matters worse, the murders have drawn the attention of the sinister Cross family, who've ruled the county that bears their name for the last two centuries. The Crosses have their own reasons for wanting the murders stopped. Their land holds secrets . . . ancient, dark, and buried deep.

He finds her crying in the lobby of a movie theater and takes her home to his apartment, a strange, beautiful woman with no last name, a mysterious past, and a powerful sexual allure. He wants her, and she wants him. There's only one problem: the Men Upstairs. She used to belong to them—and they'll do anything to get her back.

Ghost Town
WELCOME TO EXETER, THE “MOST HAUNTED TOWN IN AMERICA,” thanks to a deadly flood that unleashed an army of ghosts decades ago. And when ghost trackers Amber, Drew, and Trevor attend a conference during Exeter’s spookiest week of the year, the ghouls grow restless. First, an innocent bookstore worker is mysteriously killed, setting off a string of strange deaths that point to a shadowy spirit known as the Dark Lady.
With a paranormal revolution ensuing, the team must stop the twisted bloodbath. But a past horror involving the death of a former teammate has them spinning faster than a specter in a storm, especially when they learn that it’s his ghost who awakened the Dark Lady. Now, with their lives on the line and the entire town at stake, the three must decide whether to trust the spirit of their old friend or to finally put a stake through his heart.

with Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of SyFy's Ghost Hunters
For fifteen years, Amber, Drew, and Trevor have barely been able to recall—let alone explain—what happened the terrifying night they decided to explore the old, abandoned Lowry House. According to local legend, the house was cursed by a dark past and inhabited by evil. It burst into flames on the night of their visit, leaving the friends traumatized and nearly dead with only vague memories of the frightening events they had witnessed inside. Now, on the eve of their high school reunion, they have gathered to reopen their investigation and figure out, once and for all, what took place that fateful night . . . before the supernatural entity they escaped threatens to overtake them again.

In the small town of Ptolemy, darkness is a living thing. A powerful thing. Its home is in the shadows of a bizarre, hidden club named Penumbra, where it is worshipped by followers who need the pleasure it gives them. They are addicted to it. They live for it. And they kill for it.
When Aaron was first introduced to Penumbra, he thought it was just a secret club where members could indulge their kinkier fantasies. Bit by bit, as he learned the club's true purpose, he began to change in subtle, horrible ways. Now it's time for Aaron to prepare his first human sacrifice to the waiting darkness. It's too late for him to back out now, but murder is the least of Penumbra's sins. The true terror is still to come when . . . Darkness Wakes.

Like Death
Published by Apex Book Company
Scott Raymond is a man haunted by his past and terrorized
in the present. As a young boy, he witnessed the brutal
murder of his family, but there is so much of the
gruesome tragedy that he simply cannot remember —

alone was spared. The memories won't come, but the
trauma won't go away.
Scott is an adult now, still emotionally scarred
but learning to deal with it. He has come to Ash Creek
to write about a different mystery, a six-year-old
girl named Miranda who has disappeared in broad daylight
one year ago. Here, Scott meets another girl named
Miranda, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the one
who's missing — but this one's a teenager. She
will draw Scott into the bizarre hidden world known
as Shadow. A world where nightmares are very real
. . . and very deadly.

a case. However, when Wyatt Trower, an old flame of
Liana`s asks for help, jealousy rears its ugly head,
right up until he turns up dead in an alley. Now it`s
up to Liana and Justin to find out just what kind
of `big score` Wyatt was working on when he died.
Soon the team of Mallory & Mallory find themselves
wrapped up in a web of lies, blackmail, and voyeur
videos. And someone else wants them to stop nosing
into the whole sordid affair - and will stop at nothing
including more killing to keep the scandal under wraps.
It will take all of their undercover skills to track
down the killer, stay safe, and solve the crime.
