Witch

2016

No food, no money, no way to make a living... how far would you go to make sure that you and your daughter are fed? After her husband's death, Anne LaForet is alone... alone to raise her young daughter in an area of the swamp that is too foul to grow anything. Anne is no criminal, but circumstances force her to resort to theft. When an encounter threatens to put her away for her crimes, Anne accidentally discovers that she also has another skill, one that helps women who can’t conceive become pregnant. As word of her talent spreads beyond the confines of the swamp, she receives visitor after visitor, fulfilling their dreams while at the same time finally getting the food and money she needs to raise her own child. One visitor in particular promises not only the financial freedom that Anne so desperately seeks, but also a way out… the means to leave the swamp forever. But in her haste, Anne forgets about the three things that the people of the swamp hate most of all: single mothers, thieves, and witches. Anne already has two strikes against her, and it’s only a matter of time before she is accused of all three… And so begins the legend of Anne LaForet, of MOTHER, of mater est, matrem omnium, a tightly woven tale of horror and suspense that spans four centuries. WITCH is a 30,000 word prequel novella to the best-selling Family Values Trilogy that explores the depths of human suffering and how desperation shapes not only who we are, but what we do. And how, through it all, Family is the most important thing both on this Earth and beneath it.

Mother

2016

How far would you go to protect your only child? Arielle Reigns has it all: a loving husband, a beautiful home, a successful business. Arielle has everything, except the one thing she really wants. A child. But that all changes when a mysterious woman promises that she can help Arielle conceive. That she can guarantee it. But as with all guarantees, this one comes with conditions, specific criteria that must be met… …and when it comes time to uphold her end of the bargain, Arielle can’t stomach the consequences. When her new life begins to crumble around her, she thinks has made a deal with the devil. Soon, as things transition from bad to worse, she realizes that she’s wrong—she has made a pact with something far worse. Arielle has made a deal with Mother. Desperate people do desperate things, and there is no one more desperate than a mother trying to protect her only child. There is no one more desperate than Arielle Reigns. Warning: This book contains disturbing imagery. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or generally squeamish about birth-related issues, perhaps it is better to look elsewhere.

Father

2016

The sequel to the #1 Kindle bestseller MOTHER. The swamp is a living and breathing entity, and once you enter, it will do everything it can to keep you there... dead or alive. Kendra Wilson has seen her share of heinous crimes during her 12 year career as an FBI Agent, everything from brutal murders to the macabre. So at first glance, her newest case doesn't strike her as anything out of the ordinary—an apparent murder/suicide... a man who killed both his wife and their four-year old daughter, on the eve of her birthday. To most, an unthinkable crime. To Kendra, however, it seemed old hat. But this is not a cut and dry case, as the still cold glass of milk on the counter and the bloody scrawl on the refrigerator door will attest. When reports of other missing girls start filing in, all with a strange connection to one central location buried deep in the swamp, Kendra realizes that the milk is only the beginning… and that unraveling the truth underlying it all means not only delving into a crime committed more than four centuries ago, but digging deep into her own troubled past for answers. And the truth is worse than anything even she could have imagined.

Daughter

2017

Prepare yourself for the epic final installment in the best-selling Family Values Trilogy, the last stand between the demon in the swamp, of mater est, matrem omnium, and those who intend to destroy it. Raising a family has never been this hard.

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sick bastards–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy. More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change. Three years and more than three-dozen novels later, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes letters. Hopefully you see something in my catalog that you like, something to feast your eyes on.
