Though she has long suspected, at age twenty-four, Kali discovers she is adopted. The search for her birth parents brings both joy and crippling heartache. Her newfound grandparents are lovely people, but she soon learns the tragic history of her biological mother... Over two decades before, a young woman was raped and brutalized by four unknown men. She survived, but discovered she was pregnant. The young woman's name was Jessica. But she went by…Jinx. Years later, while six-year-old Kali lived her best life across the country with her adoptive parents, Jinx was viciously and mysteriously murdered. There was no justice. A small-town sheriff with clout and connections made sure of that. Kali adores her new family, but after hearing Jinx's story, she knows she needs to make things right. And she's not afraid to get her hands dirty - or bloody - for the mother she never knew. People reap what they sow. And Karma knows no deadline. From the two-time Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Red Inside, comes a novel of savage vengeance. Intense and heartbreaking, but with her trademark moments of wit, this novel elevates Bridgett Nelson to the next level of her already notable writing career. Karma is the standalone sequel to the Splatterpunk Award-winning short story, "Jinx," which is included as bonus content at the end of this book. The foreword was written by Splatterpunk and Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Jeff Strand.

She loves bubble baths (because nothing says spooooky writer like orange-scented bubbles), hates not knowing what’s swimming in the water with her, lives for Halloween season (but loathes chainsaw-wielding dudes in haunted houses), adores her West Virginia University Mountaineers, is very pro-Oxford comma, and thinks bananas are absolutely disgusting. She was a 2022 Michael Knost "Wings" award nominee, and won second place (out of fourteen contestants) in the '22 Gross-Out contest at KillerCon in Austin, Texas. Bridgett's bestselling, two-time Splatterpunk Award nominated debut collection, A BOUQUET OF VISCERA, is available in all formats. She has also contributed to many anthologies, including DEAD & BLOATED by The Evil Cookie Publishing, A WOMAN UNBECOMING by Crone Girls Press, and the upcoming AMERICAN CANNIBAL by Maenad Press. When Edward Lee read her story "Giggly" which will be dropping soon, he said to her: "Giggly kicked my ass. Outstanding job! I need therapy now." Much more is coming in 2023! More tidbits! Bridgett is a(n)… HWA: WV Chapter co-chair. Editor. Audiobook proofer. Bookworm. Dog lover. Tarantula whisperer. Bra avoider. ENJF. Amaretto Sour obsessor.
