The Kensington Killers are back!

The Kensington Killers is a hard-boiled detective series that I began writing in 2016. The first book, Lunatic , came out early that year, and Crank , the second book, followed in late 2017. At long last, the third installment is on the horizon! In just one week, Maniac will be published! In anticipation of the Maniac release, I've re-published Lunatic and Crank with beautiful new covers after combing through the stories and tightening them up. If you've never read the first two books in the series, I highly recommend that you get caught up before Maniac is released. Book Two ended with quite the cliff-hanger! And as a bonus, I also published Cold Dark Fear , the prequel novella to the series! LUNATIC (The Kensington Killers, Book One) When Detective Danielle Foster returns to the 66th Precinct after a maternity leave gone wrong, the unforeseeable death of her infant son who died of SIDS isn't the only tragedy weighing heavily on her mind. The latest female victim, fo

The New Hampshire Mysteries are back in print!

Hello fellow lovers of mysteries!   The New Hampshire Mysteries are back in paperback format on Amazon!   A few years ago, I unpublished Daddy Soda, Rock Spider, and Tar Heart, taking them off the market while I edited and otherwise improved the stories. Though I republished all three novels as a single ebook anthology on Kindle Unlimited , I never re-published the paperbacks... until now!   If you've never read The New Hampshire Mysteries, the characters and plots are only loosely connected between books, causing each novel to read more like a stand-alone story. What connects them is the location where the series is set, which is the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Read the book descriptions below, buy all three novels, and curl up with these dark, psychological thrillers to get you through the rest of winter! DADDY SODA (A NEW HAMPSHIRE MYSTERY, BOOK ONE) Hannah Cole has built a life around her job as a receptionist at the local precinct after surviving a tumultuous upbringing, o
