The Color of Murder

2022

Rookie Detective Veronica Shade experiences the world in a way no one else can. Her rare condition, multi-modal synesthesia, lets her hear whispers of deceit, smell the scent of fear, and see the aura of hidden guilt. A secret she's kept hidden, her talent has catapulted her to being one of Oregon’s youngest and most promising detectives, at the cost of any semblance of a normal social life. When a young woman is found hanging from the rafters of a local Sheriff’s home, it's quickly ruled a suicide. But Veronica’s senses scream murder. As another apparent suicide surfaces in an adjacent county, Veronica is convinced they're not just connected, but the work of a sadistic killer just beginning his reign of terror. In a race against time, Veronica must hunt down a merciless killer whose victims seem to eerily mirror fragments of her own forgotten past. As she delves deeper, it becomes clear that her unique gift might be a double-edged sword—one that could cost her a chance at a normal life and make her the killer’s next victim. From the bestselling author of the Chase Adams series comes an unputdownable thriller perfect for fans of Dan Padavona, D.K. Hood, and AJ Rivers. Dive into the chilling world of Veronica Shade—once you start, you won’t be able to stop...or sleep.

The Scent of Murder

2022

They call him The Dollmaker. His victims are painted to look like dolls and are posed in lewd positions for everyone to see. Two victims and counting. Detective Veronica Shade doesn’t need her sixth sense to know that the killer has no designs of stopping. His twisted agenda requires more victims, more dolls. But it’s not her case. And after what happened last time, all eyes are on her, making sure she does everything by the book. Breaking even the smallest rule might mean losing her job. Or worse. But with a killer on the loose, and a bear running rampage, how can Veronica just sit by and do nothing? She can’t. Once again, she turns to her special gift, her multi-modal synesthesia, to try and help her solve the case. But her condition has proven unreliable in the past, and Veronica soon begins to question whether it is more of a hinderance than a gift. And going rogue has put her directly in the path of a budding serial killer, who’s dead set on turning Veronica Shade into his next doll.

The Sound of Murder

He hides in the darkness, waiting. Watching. Lusting. Soon, he will strike. And when he does, no one is safe. Not the media, the police, and least of all a small-town detective.

But a mysterious caller quickly sours the experience by revealing secrets of Veronica’s past. Secrets that only a select few know. And then the madman decides to serenade her with a song. One, two, I’m coming for you. Three four, lock your door. This isn’t the first time Veronica is haunted by a children’s tune, and she’s determined not to take the threat lightly. Five, six, I crossed the River Styx. Seven, eight, I’ve sealed your fate. When people close to her start winding up dead, Veronica realizes that she’s made a terrible mistake.

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.
