Xavier Bradshaw: GHOSTWRITER
W. M. Leesman
Twenty years ago, a series of unsolved, unconnected brutal murders rocked the town of Livingston, Alberta.
Now, a city councilor is found crucified in a local church. A young woman is found dumped at the river’s edge.
Investigative reporter Xavier Bradshaw and his new partner, Jessi, need to find out who is behind these echoes of the past. Evidence points to Xavier as the prime suspect, and Livingston PD is intent on wrapping up the case. Xavier fears his mentor, a famed horror author, has too much interest in the deaths and could be the serial killer.
"Now, let's talk about the ending. Wow. The author is an absolute master of mind games. Just when you think you have predicted the mystery and figured out the connections from the past, the author pulls the rug out from under you. The ultimate revelation is incredibly wild, intense, and absolutely mind-boggling. I was reading late into the night, promising myself I’d sleep at chapter 47, but a massive bombshell dropped and my eyes went wide. I ended up staying up until nearly 4:00 AM just to finish it!
If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, I would. The twists are absolute fire." —Goodreads review
Bradshaw must find the truth before the killer strikes again and police seal his fate, making him the next headline.
"A slow-burn investigative thriller whose dark secrets and chilling revelations
deliver a powerful final act." —Charly Cox, bestselling author of the
Detective Alyssa Wyatt series

The World We Live In
Rachel Graham
Checkmate, My King
Esmeray Marguerite
She was a mother searching for her children—until she became collateral.
Kidnapped and delivered into a world where women have a price and power is inherited through fear and blood, Tara knows survival depends on one thing: making herself too valuable to destroy.
AJ was raised to rule this world. Ruthless, controlling, and dangerously possessive, he should see Tara as nothing more than another piece on the board.
Instead, she becomes the one variable he can't control.
As AJ's obsession grows, Tara uses his attention to buy herself time—time to learn the organization, uncover its weaknesses, and find her children. But possession begins to blur into protection, and the attraction between captor and captive becomes something neither of them planned.
Tara won't mistake captivity for love. Her children come first. Her freedom still matters.
And while AJ believes he's keeping her, Tara is quietly learning how to destroy everything he was raised to inherit.
He took her freedom. She’ll take his empire.
Checkmate, My King is a high-heat dark romantic suspense featuring captive/captor dynamics, an obsessive and possessive morally gray MMC, forced proximity, dubious consent, psychological manipulation, organized crime, revenge, and a pawn-to-queen heroine.

FeaturedThe Shattered Realms of Reverie
Megan Goetsch
In a world where dreams are forbidden, two strangers search for each other across an impossible distance.
Rowan Ash has spent eighteen years hiding what he is—a dreamer in a society that hunts his kind. Raised among the oppressed, he sees infinite futures branching before him, each one heavy with the weight of lives he cannot save. His gift is both blessing and curse: the ability to perceive what might be, but never the certainty of what should be.
Seraphine Vale knows only discipline and control. Trained in the Dominion's elite Academy, she has been taught that dreams are weapons, that order protects humanity, and that emotion is weakness. She builds impossible structures from pure will, shaping reality itself—yet feels hollow at her core, as if half of her is missing.
In the depths of the Veil—a realm between consciousness and reality—they find each other. Two halves of something broken. Two souls calling across a chasm neither understands. And when they finally meet, they will discover a truth the Dominion has spent generations trying to bury.
Some bonds cannot be severed. Some dreams refuse to die.
And some reunions will reshape the world.

Vale House
F.L. TOOMEY
If you heard someone you lost calling your name, would you follow their voice?
Eighteen years after her sister Willa disappeared, Mara Vale returns to Bellwether Island to bury her mother. She wants to get through the funeral. But coming home brings back the questions she could never answer and the guilt she could never leave behind.
Then a hurricane traps her on the island.
Something called the Borrowed can imitate familiar voices and wear familiar faces. It knows how to make you feel safe. For Mara, it offers something far more dangerous than a threat: a reason to believe she might see her sister again.
As the storm closes in, Mara must decide whom to trust when recognition proves nothing. Because turning away could mean losing Willa all over again. And letting her in could mean welcoming something else entirely.
Vale House is Southern Gothic supernatural horror for readers drawn to isolated places, buried family secrets, and the unsettling possibility that they, too, would open the door.

Queen's Incubus
Honey Cummings
Forced to marry the Whore King, Princess Valechka has signed a magical contract with the Advisor of Iniquity to gain sexual prowess.
In order to save the Kingdom of Aurelia from an immediate attack from the Kingdom of Castor, Princess Valechka accepts the arranged marriage for peace. It's not a secret she's not the first princess to be wed to him. In fact, the Whore King has a harem full of princesses, including those from the conquered kingdoms just across the ravine. With no heirs to date, she aims to change the tide and strikes a deal with the Advisor of Iniquity, Milogost Cheronobog.
The dark secrets of Aurelia and beyond are held by one entity called the Sin Bringer or Milogost Cheronobog. No one knows where he came from or exactly how long he has occupied his seat as an advisor for all sins and pleasures, but he's managed to swindle the whole council-and even the King. When Valechka boldly marches in to demand his services, he can't resist. After all, he already knows she's been spying on him through the keyhole this past year.
Crowned Third Prince of Nasser, Ghassan doesn't want to give up on his ex-fiancee, Valechka just yet. Crashing the coronation, he aims to convince her to run away with him, to abandon this idea she can conquer the Whore King where so many men and women have failed. As he uncovers the dirty contract between the princess and the Sin Bringer, the Blue-eyed Devil just might have to concede and turn his focus on teaching Valechka with a hands-on approach.
Will all their efforts be enough to prepare the Crowned First Princess Valechka to face the Whore King? Or will the Three Shades of the Underworld have to reveal themselves in order to save the day?
This story contains verbal and physical abuse, sexual assault, explicit violence and gore, graphic sexual content, strong language, attempted rape, and more. Know the acts, events, and characters are purely fiction. Content and scenes in this book may be triggering for some readers.

Stygian
Hale Alexander
When twenty-four-year-old Agent Elara Winslow is shot through the heart during a murder investigation, the bullet destroys the device suppressing her true biology. Suddenly, she’s at risk of being exposed as a stygian, a species born for violence. In an act of hiding her from her team and the public, she's sent to the care of an eccentric scientist and the scientist’s alluring daughter, Cam.
Elara’s condition worsens, causing violent episodes, black veins across her body, and an increasingly uncontrollable urge to kill, but the glimmer of a new and different life with Cam gives her something to fight for.
Meanwhile, little does Elara know that her best friend and fellow agent, Peter, is competing against her for the only permanent position on the team. As Peter watches Elara survive an impossible injury, disappear behind closed doors, and repeatedly uncover impossible evidence, he becomes convinced Elara is the elusive murderer he’s been hunting.
As Elara’s body races toward becoming a monster again, Peter races toward publicly proving her as one. With both closing in, Elara must find a way to survive long enough to decide what and who she really is, before she loses control of her body and her future.
STYGIAN is a sapphic horror thriller novel. It will appeal to readers of SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN for its romance between a monster and the woman trying to save her, and to fans of AKIRA for its power-hungry descent from friendship into violence.

Echoes of the After
Jae Silver
The crisis is over. The questions are not.
After surviving a near-fatal medical event, Jon is home again. Alive. Steady.
Changed in ways neither he nor Via fully understand. The chaos has quieted,
replaced by something more subtle. Persistent. A hum beneath the surface that
refuses to resolve.
The diagnosis offers language. Monitoring offers data. Neither restores the
certainty they once relied on. Decisions about the future linger, unsettled and
inevitable.
Via has spent her life trusting logic—what can be measured, explained,
controlled. Yet as Jon settles into a new rhythm, quieter and more present,
carrying an Otherness she can feel but not fully grasp, she begins to realize
that survival has altered more than his body.
How do you build a future when the ground beneath it has shifted?
How do you love someone who has crossed a threshold you cannot follow?
As career paths loom and the fragile reality of his heart refuses to fade into
the background, Via and Jon must learn to support each other in ways they never
have before. They must hold space for fear, for change, and for the possibility
that awakening does not arrive gently.
The Weight of Light, Echoes of the After continues the journey begun in Between
the Signal and the Sound, blending grounded medical realism with emotional
depth in a character-driven contemporary story about resilience, identity, and
the charged space between certainty and the unknown.
Perfect for readers who love:
Emotionally layered, relationship-driven stories
Illness, recovery, and resilience
Near-death experiences and their aftermath
Deeply introspective, analytical narrators
The space between science and something more
Slow-burn connection with psychological depth

Sealed in Blood
L.L. Reid
Once, a desperate young man wanted something badly enough to make a deal with the one being who could give it to him. The future seemed distant then, and the price seemed small. But when the time came to pay the debt he owed, he learned just how quickly time passes and how fickle fate can be.
On her sixteenth birthday, Ella’s carefully guarded life begins to unravel.

A Bulldog's Guide to Training Humans
C.W. Dusing
For six years, Oswald has been quietly training his humans.
They think they taught him where to sleep, when to eat, how to behave, and what the bell by the door is for.
Oswald knows better.
In A Bulldog’s Guide to Training Humans, one English Bulldog finally sets the record straight, revealing the
rules, techniques, and carefully tested strategies behind a well-managed household. From selective hearing and
table scraps to veterinary indignities, family negotiations, and the occasional fully weaponized bell, Oswald
explains what every dog already understands:
Humans can be trained.
It simply takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to let them believe the whole thing was their idea.
Funny, stubborn, affectionate, and occasionally more tender than Oswald would prefer to admit, this is a story
for anyone who has ever lived with a dog and wondered who was really in charge.

Cedric The Demonic Knight
Valerie Willis
For almost a century Lord Cedric has hunted the supernatural, hiding the fact he's one of Sorceress Morrighan's abominations.
Fearful of others discovering his true nature, he weds the Lady of the Court, Angeline, after winning a tournament. The dormant magic in her veins overwhelms his senses, forcing him to realize she's more than what she appears. He must ask himself: are his feelings a creation of his incubine bloodline or true romantic emotions?

Memories muddled by magic, she fears the revered knight and her destiny leads her to being his betrothed. As she travels alongside her monstrous, short-tempered husband, she will soon discover there is fear behind the rage and her feelings begin to shift when Cedric is at his weakest.
Enter a world with memorable antagonists like Succubus Queen Lillith, Romasanta the Father of Werewolves, Battle Goddess Badbh, and many more. Lose yourself to lores and history long forgotten from the 12th Century and beyond.

The Oracle Keeper of Gaea's Gate
Valerie Willis
All eyes are set on Mt. Parnassus where the Oracle is protected by Delphyne, the mother of all dragons and beasts.
2018 FAPA PRESIDENT'S BOOK AWARD SILVER MEDALIST
"Rich fully fleshed out characters jump off the pages and into your imagination..." Reader, 5-Star Review
With Angeline back in Cedric’s arms and the Eye of Gaea in Romasanta’s grip, the next step in their journey begins. All eyes are set on Mt. Parnassus where the Oracle is protected by Delphyne, the mother of all dragons and beasts. Assembling a group of willing patrons, Romasanta leads them to Delphi, Greece where they will cross into a realm void of technology.
Only brute strength and magic reign in a place where packs of Mimick dogs, Wyverns and Jaculus still run wild. Meanwhile, back home, Lillith takes on a mysterious curse cast on Tony who will have to make a life changing choice. The question weighing on all their minds is if two werewolves, the Incubus King, and a demonized sorceress will live to fight their way into Gaea’s Gate to enter the Otherworld.
