Love Ya, Kid
LOVE YA, KID
There's always tomorrow. Love ya, kid.
That's the last thing my dad says to me on his way out the door, opening morning of deer season. He doesn't come home. Sheriff Johns shows up at our house that night instead, hat in his hands.
By the time the funeral's scheduled, the county's already called it. Hunting accident. Case closed.
I've got questions nobody wants to answer. No bullet. No solid direction on the shot. And a stranger who sat in our diner that same morning with blood on his chin, left behind a map with an X marking the exact clearing where they found my dad.
Way to not answer me, Sheriff. Guess I'll find out myself.
LOVE YA, KID is an upmarket thriller/mystery where Stella Stanley must find out the truth of what happened to her father at all costs.
The Intruder
The Intruder is a dark urban fantasy thriller following Maeve Callahan, a woman with a dangerous ability... she can "drift" into the bodies of unconscious people, experiencing their memories and controlling their actions. What started as a way to escape her own painful past has become an addiction she can't shake, and she's been using her power to hunt predators the justice system has failed to stop. But playing vigilante comes with a cost. Each drift pulls her further from her own identity, and she's starting to lose track of where she ends and her hosts begin.
A detective begins connecting her victims and she learns a shadowy organization called Lucent has an unsettling interest in her abilities, Maeve finds herself caught between the hunt she's been running and becoming the hunted. Complicating everything is Jonah, a man whose unexpected connection to her threatens to expose vulnerabilities she's spent years burying. As the walls close in, Maeve must confront not just the monsters she's been chasing, but the one she might be becoming.
Part psychological thriller, part supernatural noir, THE INTRUDER explores addiction, identity, and the seductive danger of losing yourself in pursuit of justice.
REBECA
REBECA is a psychological horror novel that reimagines Daphne du Maurier's classic Rebecca for the near future. When a young data analyst meets the charismatic Max DeWinter, a tech CEO still haunted by the death of his brilliant wife Rebecca, she's drawn into his world... and into Mandertech, his sprawling estate controlled entirely by an AI system called REBECA (Recursive Emotional Biometric and Environmental Command Assistant). The AI, created by the late Mrs. DeWinter, monitors every room, anticipates every need, and seems to hold secrets about its creator that no one is willing to share.
As the protagonist tries to build a life with Max, she finds herself constantly measured against his late wife's impossible legacy, and not just by the people around her, but by the house itself. REBECA's presence is everywhere: in the walls that pulse like veins, in reflections that move a split second before she does, in a voice that's smooth, cold, and artificially perfect. What begins as unease slowly becomes something far more sinister as she realizes that in this place, the line between memorial and prison may not exist at all.
