Dear diary,

Nobody made me dinner again, so ketchup + grape jelly it is. Verdict: better than you'd think. I wanted pizza but I'm working with what I got. Not much to pick from when your dad abandons you at a hotel breakfast bar.

Also... Wanna know something wild? Someone wrote a whole book about my life, and I'm not even the main character! The nerve! At least I'm the funniest. Just read it, you'll see.

Armed with a plot to cozy up to an insider and get the real scoop on Helios, she starts digging.

But what she doesn't count on is meeting Noah, a shy but incredibly smart teacher, who works at the Garnet Grove elementary school and has ties to shady dealings done in the town decades ago.

Hi All, I'm looking for anyone interested in doing an early review of my upcoming gothic horror The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor which comes out September 29th. It's available on NetGalley or you can reach out to me directly at my website for a more updated ARC.

A gothic horror novel of haunted inheritance, family curses, and the terrifying secrets buried beneath a crumbling Yorkshire estate. Perfect for readers of Mexican Gothic, The Silent Companions, and Rebecca.

Lottie Bradbury hasn't set foot in Bradbury Manor for twelve years.

Sent away as a child following her mother's tragic death, she is summoned home in 1919 by the estranged father she barely knows. The once-great estate is failing, burdened by debt, decay, and generations of neglect. Her return comes with a price: an arranged marriage intended to save what remains of the Bradbury legacy.

But Bradbury Manor is not merely old.

At night, the house makes itself known.

• Strange sounds echo through the corridors.
• Rooms refuse to stay still.
• Moments slip out of place.
• The past refuses to remain buried.

As Lottie is drawn deeper into her family's history, she uncovers a pattern stretching back centuries-one marked by unexplained deaths, buried betrayals, and a curse that never truly ends. It simply passes from one generation to the next.

Everyone expects her to take her place.

To continue what came before.

Caught between the expectations of her father, the promise of a future beyond the estate, and the growing realization that something is terribly wrong within Bradbury Manor, Lottie must decide how much of the truth she is willing to uncover-and what it may cost her when she does.

The closer she gets to the answers, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is exposing the darkness surrounding her family...

or being led deeper into it.

Atmospheric, unsettling, and steeped in gothic tradition, The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor is a story of haunted houses, family secrets, generational curses, and the enduring power of the past. For readers who love crumbling estates, supernatural mysteries, psychological tension, and stories where history refuses to stay dead.

Hi everybody, I'm looking for ARC readers.

Brainjacked is a standalone 118,000-word cyberpunk technothriller — the first entry in Bay City Noise, a series which will include a trilogy of standalone books and many short stories, available for free on my Substack. 

Blurb:
In Bay City, America's first corporate-owned megalopolis, the neural implant everyone wants is called the MyHUD. And Phil Schooner just won one.
A dock worker kept alive by a failing lung implant he could never afford to replace, Phil wins the Shared Vision Implant Lottery and believes his luck has finally turned. But the MyHUD doesn't just keep him breathing. It begins to rewire him—sharpening his temper, turning cruelty into pleasure—until, one unrecognizable night, he does the unthinkable to the people he loves most.
Detective Simone Foxworth has seen what broken technology can do. As she links a string of impossible murders, she uncovers a truth the most powerful corporation in the city will kill to bury: the implant everyone is racing to buy can quietly turn anyone into a weapon.
A noir-soaked cyberpunk thriller where humans are just another asset.

Comparable books:
The Body Scout by Lincoln Michel, for its noir detective in a body-modified corporate future, and Upgrade by Blake Crouch, for its near-future biotech premise and crossover thriller pacing.

Trigger warning:
Graphic violence and gore. Murder, including the death of a child. Domestic violence. Sexual content, prostitution, and sexual assault. Drug use and addiction. Body horror. Police and corporate brutality and execution. PTSD and suicidal ideation.

Duration:
The ARC copy will be provided Sep 12, publication date is set to mid-Dec.

Nate, Sam and Charlie are three decidedly unheroic teenagers and just strange enough to be the perpetual target of bullies both old and young. They found kinship and safety retreating into the world of fantasy role-playing games.

When the trio are accidentally transported to an actual fantasy world filled with dragons and wizards and the brutality of life during the dark ages, they reluctantly embark on a quest to confront an incomprehensible evil in the hopes that doing so will return them to the comforts of home.

There is, after all, some sort of vague prophecy they're meant to fulfill to save the world from madness and destruction.
According to the wisest mystic in the realm.

Who they may or may not have accidentally killed.

As the familiar fantasy tropes and cliches are subverted and inverted in the most hilarious ways possible, each new horrifying and deadly twist forces the trio to prove not only to everyone who as ever met them, but also to themselves that they can be the heroes they have always pretended to be.

Trigger: Gore and Violence played for comedic intent.

Publication date: October 1st 2026

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Applications close September 14th! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

Blurb:

155 years ago, the residents of a working-class Victorian high street were asked to share their details. Their names, ages and occupations were carefully recorded, analysed, then stored safely away…waiting for the day when curiosity would bring them back into the light.

‘I wonder who used to live on this street?’ transformed from an idle imagining to a year of intense research, delving into the details of lives long forgotten. Family feuds and tragic deaths uncovered alongside raucous parties of dancing and drinking.

A philanthropic entrepreneur, faded into obscurity, is returned to full technicolour, his contributions finally acknowledged and celebrated. The daughter of a landlord forced to char to make ends meet, having suffered through domestic violence and loss, is finally given her due. Stories are added to the names of those who were quietly squirreled away to the local Mental Hospital, never to be seen again.

After over a century in the dark, meet the residents of Romiley Road.

Blurb:

Cassian Holt was an astronaut, but when his space station was annihilated, everything was taken from him. Now, he is given a chance at redemption.

The Kessler Cascade—a catastrophic chain reaction of satellite collisions—has transformed low Earth orbit into a vast debris field. A booming space industry collapses overnight, and Earth turns to its best and brightest for a solution.

Cassian, racked by survivor’s guilt after the destruction of his station, is contacted. Earth’s leaders want him to work on the most ambitious project in human history: Project Gossamer, their only chance to clear the debris and return to the stars.

But while Earth's focus is on the debris, a greater threat lurks beyond. Can Cassian hold his team together, conquer his self-doubt, and reclaim the stars for mankind?

Millennia ago, a great sacrifice separated the realms for good, dividing them with a barrier impenetrable to even the gods. 

A devoted scribe, Astrid Seravelle knows this more than any other, her life devoted to the truths The Book of Beginning holds. 

Everything changes the day she falls through the barrier, into the fae realm of Eldrianth. Thrust into a world of magic, court politics, and the whispers of fate, Astrid must learn to survive amongst the near-immortal beings who view her as both a mystery and a threat. 

But she’s not alone. A charismatic lord watches over her, promising safety, while an enigmatic dark prince blurs the line between friend and foe. 

All the while, fate tests her resolve, pushing her down paths she never imagined. Forced to confront truths that challenge the foundations of her identity, she must reconcile who she is with what she is destined to become — especially as a dark, thousand year old plot emerges, threatening the future of all the realms. 

Content Warnings & Potential Triggers: The Book of Fate has genre-typical violence, character death, and open-door sex scenes. It explores themes of loneliness, grief, identity, and complicated family relationships.

When Ava puts out an ad for a roommate, she doesn’t expect to end up with one who leaves her aching and half-crazy with want.

Callum is quiet, polite, and able to pay rent. He’s also a seven-foot-tall, blue-skinned, starving incubus. Not that Ava can see any of that through his glamour.

She’s just looking for someone who won’t steal her groceries or leave dirty dishes. But the longer Callum lives with her, the harder it becomes to ignore the way her body aches when he’s near.

She has spent years protecting herself from men who only take. He’s the first one who seems terrified of anything but giving..

But when his control starts to slip and the hunger between them becomes impossible to ignore, Ava has to decide how much of herself she’s willing to give…

Blurb:

In the city-state of Cenza, power is everything, and Etchers are the only ones who can tear it from the void.

Dax has spent his life hiding what he is. An Etcher with a secret lab, a forbidden research obsession, and a quiet plan to bring down Chancellor Veltran’s regime, he walks a razor’s edge between survival and rebellion. When a single act of defiance puts him in the ministry’s sights, the fragile life he’s built begins to unravel.

Maezra has given everything to the ministry’s darkest project: creating new Etchers through pain, science, and calculated cruelty. One subject finally succeeds beyond her wildest expectations, then escapes. Now the only living proof of her breakthrough is loose on the streets, and the chancellor himself is watching.

Aeli never asked to become a weapon. Tortured into something more than human, she wakes with powers she can’t control and a body that turns violence into nightmare. Hunted by her captors and haunted by what she’s already done, her only goal is to survive long enough to understand what they’ve made her.

As the three lives collide, the carefully maintained order of Cenza begins to crack. Ancient secrets, forbidden technology, and a power that was never meant to walk free will force each of them to choose between the world that is, and the one that might still be possible.

In a society built on the bones of the gifted, some echoes refuse to stay silent.

Spanning one unforgettable summer and its echo thirty years later, Flat Hill and Bark tells the story of a group of friends in a small Minnesota river town, where myth passes for memory and memory for truth—and where some still can’t shake the question: Is home a place, or a place in time?

Flat Hill and Bark is a literary novel about memory, family, friendship, and the peculiar ways the past refuses to remain in the past. Its world owes something to the sprawling eccentricity of John Irving, the melancholy of Jim Harrison, and the magical realism of García Márquez. It may also appeal to readers of Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad for its exploration of memory and the machinery of time, and the less-is-more economy of Raymond Carver and Amy Hempel.

Hello, everyone!

My newest series launches with its first book next month, and I’m looking for readers who would be excited to read it in advance of release and be willing to post their reviews or just after release day.

Genre: Epic Fantasy/Political Fantasy
Word Count: 52,000

Blurb:

A princess locked in a tower. An elven boy sold into slavery. A kingdom on the brink — and ancient forces stirring beyond its walls.

In the capital of Auberlind, twelve‑year‑old Princess Iva has spent her life hidden away in a white tower — a living secret in a realm ruled by fear, ambition, and a queen mother who will do anything to keep her power.

In the slums below, an elven boy named Athlin escapes a brutal slaver only to fall in with a mismatched crew of outcasts: a hardened rogue, a streetwise orphan, and an exiled elven warrior with enemies of her own.

When a desperate heist leads them into the tower itself, their worlds collide, and the truth they uncover forces them to flee the city as every faction in Avilon turns against them. But the girl in the tower was never the real secret. Something older than the kingdom has begun to wake. And what waits beyond the city walls may be far more dangerous than the power that hunts them.

Towerborn launches the End of Aegis saga — a slow‑burn epic fantasy of rising magic, political intrigue, and mythic forces returning to a world unprepared for their arrival.

After ten years in exile, the Prince of the Club Confederacy walks the streets of the Diamond Empire once more, hidden amongst people.

Accompanying him on his hunt for revenge is Maisha, a bone shaman whose visions of a monstrous serpent come to fruition when Arthur stumbles upon her village and becomes a prisoner.

Meanwhile, the Diamond Empire continues its conquest for land and resources. Civil unrest grips the empire’s furthest reaches as rebels from the occupied Syndicate of Spades spread death and fear around the world, and the passing years have done nothing to quell their bloodshed. The Spades can burn everything to the ground for all Arthur cares. He just wants their king, and Maisha just wants her freedom.

KLONDOON — Book One
On the map it was Old Assumption.
In temple sermons, it was a city of mercy, industry and second chances.
But anyone siphoned through its alleys knew better.
They called it the Sump, because sooner or later, all the filth ended up there.
The Kid learned the rules of the gutter: keep moving, do not look rich men in the eye, and never trust a kindness offered after dark.
There are places where belief is more dangerous than blades.
Rinriki was one of them.
What begins as survival gradually turns into something stranger, as rumour, violence and belief transform an ordinary boy into something resembling a legend — whether he wants to become one or not.
Klondoon is an adult literary/speculative novel with elements of supernatural suspense, dark humour, crime and surrealism.
Potential triggers/content warnings: Violence, death, murder, organised crime, substance use, sexual references, prostitution, child neglect/abuse themes, religious themes, coercion and disturbing imagery.

Blurb: The city of Eryssan stands in the shadow of the Fracture, a jagged tear where nightmares once bled into the mortal world. For centuries, dark, ageless guardians, known as the Umbralyn, have kept its horrors at bay, bound by an ancient vow.

When the Fracture begins to bleed once more, Maia Colwyn is summoned to Eryssan to study newly unearthed fragments, determined to uncover a way to seal the wound before the city pays the price.

Instead, her search leads her to Caelith, an Umbralyn she's been taught to fear.

As an uneasy bond grows between them, Maia uncovers a truth the city was never meant to remember: a conspiracy that reaches into the highest halls of power, and a threat far larger than the Fracture itself.

Now, she must choose: the truth that could save the city and all those she loves....

…or the monster who stands on the other side of it.

A slow-burn, morally grey fantasy romance about forbidden love, rebellion, and the gap between the stories we're taught and the people we actually meet.

War is coming.

Ulfric, Schleswig's newly crowned king, nicknamed 'The Barbaric', is in trouble for refusing to bend the knee to the emperor of the Selkur Empire as his vassal. But Ulfric has few allies both outside and within Schleswig. Corruption and treachery are rife, and too many of Ulfric’s nobles are taking the emperor’s coin.

It's into this murky world that Ulfric has created that the difficult Edith of Freidberg has been unwillingly thrust when she discovers she has unknowingly been betrothed to Ulfric by her father. She must learn who she can trust when no one appears trustworthy, and the only advice she’s given is that she has no choice but to marry Ulfric, a man who both disgusts and inspires her.

What kind of queen does Ulfric want Edith to be, an advisor or broodmare? And will Ulfric survive defying the emperor?

Blurb:

I used to think this was a book about addiction. It isn’t.

For almost twenty years, I buried myself in drugs and alcohol, surviving everything from arrests to overdoses with the desperate belief that there would always be one more chance to get my life back together.

Along the way, I found myself surrounded by people the rest of the world had mostly forgotten. Addicts, criminals, gangsters, dealers, friends, lovers, sons, daughters. We got sober together and relapsed together. We lied to one another, stole from one another, forgave one another. And for a while, in the isolated little worlds we built together, we were all we had.

Most of them are dead now.

The Bones of My Ghosts is an ode to those who didn't survive, a love letter to the family who never stopped caring about me, and a meditation on the guilt of being alive to tell the story.

Triggers: Drug use, violence, self-harm, suicidal attempt & ideation.

Official Blurb 

A genesplice mercenary. A fallen cop. Shattered trust.

When she’s not serving drinks to gruff solar-harvester technicians or cuddling her cat Silas, unsanctioned splice Eris prowls the star quadrant, delivering vigilante justice at the end of her blade. Juggling assignments from The Medusa Syndicate and her life on Janus isn’t easy. And that delicate balance is threatened when she takes matters into her own hands to protect a friend.

Disgraced detective turned private investigator Miles Beckett is Nightside City Police Department’s go-to expert for solving tough cases. When a body with a familiar face bearing a distinctive clue is added to his docket, his professional and personal lives collide. Forced to question everything, Beck balances on a knife’s edge with an uncertain future.

When secrets are exposed and trust betrayed, estranged lovers must set aside differences and forge uneasy alliances. Will Eris beat the clock — or will she lose it all?
