The Collins Widow is out now and available to download for only 0.99 for a limited time. You can also read for free with Kindle Unlimited. Here's the pitch:

Twin Peaks meets Rebecca in this fast-paced tale of Gothic and cosmic horror. When a widow goes in search of answers regarding her dead husband's past, she gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a family curse, a century of murder and violence, and a monstrous entity who demands sacrifice.

I'm now going to be elbow-deep in fantasy as I dive back into the Frankie Mourning (Blood of Cain) series, and I'll also be working on my upcoming witch series The Diablerists. Watch this space for more information on those titles, or sign up for my newsletter where I'll be sharing sample chapters and updates.

Exciting times, friends!

COMING SOON: THE COLLINS WIDOW

If you subscribe to my newsletter this will be old news, but I have another book coming out! The Collins Widow is available now for pre-0rder for only 0.99 and I cannot wait for you all to read it.

The backstory is that I wrote The Collins Widow several years ago, and some of the themes translated to The Hungry Deep. But the truth is that The Collins Widow is a very different animal. One part cosmic horror, one part gothic, one part epistolary novel, I let myself go full weird for this one. I'm not quite sure how it'll land, to be honest, but it'll definitely be interesting. 

Here's the rough pitch:


S
ome family secrets are better left buried.



Six months ago, Stella Collins killed her husband, Morgan. Previously mild-mannered and caring, Morgan changed, becoming monstrous in an instant, and tried to murder Stella on the staircase in their home, instead falling to his own grisly death.

In an attempt to understand what happened to her husband, Stella travels across the country to Morgan’s childhood home to search for answers. She finds the house derelict, rotting from time and neglect, leaving Stella with more questions than answers.

Uncovering a packet of old letters and diary entries that belonged to the matriarch of the family, Elizabeth, Stella begins to uncover the horrors of the Collinses, the house, and the winding caverns that snake beneath. As Stella’
s mind begins to play tricks, she learns of Elizabeth’s plight, she is haunted by the literal ghosts of the past, including Morgan. And the more she learns, the more she is convinced that all of it, even Morgan’s death, leads back to the past, to the original Collins widow. And to the unspeakable horror which has plagued her husband’s family for a century.

Pre-order The Collins Widow here, or read for free on Kindle Unlimited on January 31!
