I have exciting news!
In just under a month, those lovely people at Crystal Lake Publishing will release my latest novel – Harmed and Dangerous.
It’s a Southern Gothic, paranormal thriller, set in the steamy state of Louisiana. The plot involves time slips, small town horror and the mysteries surrounding an inscrutable serial killer. It’s dark and deeply emotional and addresses LGBTQIA themes as well the intensely personal nature of father/daughter relationships.
IS THIS A PERSONAL WORK?
Yes, it is. I wrote this novel at the prompting of both my daughters, back when they were teens. I’ve published 3 novels and four novellas since I first discussed it with them.
It’s been through a lot of drafts in that time. Why? Because I needed to get this one as close to perfect as I could.
SO, LET’S HEAR THE COVER BLURB!
Put yourself in Kyra’s place.
You're seventeen years old, lost and alone in a remote town in Louisiana. You're searching for the birth parents you never knew. The heat is crippling. The river often floods, washing houses away and lifting corpses from the ground.
The locals treat you with suspicion. You don't belong here. They're hiding something. All over town, in nooks and hidden alcoves, there’s evidence of a forbidden faith. They keep the old ways here, but no one will tell you what they are.
There's an intangible presence following you. Hiding in your peripheral vision. You can't see, hear or touch it, but you know it's there, waiting for its chance to claim you.
Then the episodes start.
Your vision goes and when it returns you're seeing the world as it was fifteen years ago. Physically you're in the present, but everything you see happened a decade and a half ago.
Suddenly you realize.
You’re seeing through the eyes of the serial killer who murdered your birth mother. He takes control of you, forcing you to watch as he stalks and brutally murders her.
And there’s nothing you can do to stop him. Because he died by lethal injection more than a decade ago.
