    She will have her day of reckoning 🩸 
    Penny Collins always tried to be a good daughter. Until the night she was brutally attacked as she lay in her bed... 
    The assault, from a man she knew all too well, traumatised Penny. Worse still, after her family refused to believe her initial fears about being watched, she told nobody, afraid her family would be convinced she was making the whole thing up... 
    Now, twenty years later, Penny cares for her elderly mother whose memory is fading daily. Still a good daughter, she tries not to think about the past, but her mother seems more insistent to talk about what happened that night... to drag up painful memories. 
    So when Penny comes face to face with her attacker again, she knows it’s time for her to take action and get answers for them all. This time he's in the dock where he belongs, accused of the same terrible crime. And Penny, a good daughter and now a good citizen, sits on the jury — his fate finally in her hands... 
    If only she can convince the others of his guilt... 👀

    (Previously released as "The Preacher.") 
    Welcome to Layton, Alabama. Population: 11,000. Where the sweet tea runs through our veins, the air smells of cobbler, and the secrets lie so deep that not even the confessionals are safe anymore. 
    They say evil can take many forms . . . 
    I learned that first hand at the age of seventeen. My mother's third husband was the preacher . . . a man of the cloth who had a secret agenda within our small Southern community. 
    My name is Sunny Gardner. And Layton, Alabama is my home, or least it had been until the preacher came into our lives. A minister who preached the Word, but lived a lie. But the folks in this town had closed their eyes and ears to the truth once they fell under the preacher's spell. As it turned out, I'm the one they believed was evil. I'm the one who was shamed into leaving town. 
    This is my story. A story of struggle and triumph and, ultimately, a story of how I saved myself and my community from the devil himself. 
    (Inspired by an actual event.) 
     Adult Content 18+

    The White House claims credit for capturing the Black Widow and gives SHIELD an ultimatum, which has Aja questioning whose side the President is on. 
    Aja and her SHIELD colleagues successfully captured the Black Widow and her associates on their last mission. However, the White House has forbidden them, along with the CIA and FBI, from any further involvement in investigating, identifying, or prosecuting the multitude of high-speed rail service customers who exploited underage children. 
    The message was loud and clear. Find a new case or SHIELD will be decommissioned and its agents considered as traitors, charged with treason, and imprisoned. So what choice did they have? As SHIELD leadership works to identify their next case, Aja is not feeling as cooperative. But the moment she delves a little too deeply into why the White House is against their involvement, she mysteriously disappears. 
    Has Aja gone rogue and fled to protect her colleagues? Or has the White House caught wind of her actions and locked her away? Or, as the Black Widow predicted, has the President made her disappear in a more permanent manner? 
    Aja Minor: Dirty Politics is the eighth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series. 
    A portion of the proceeds from this series are donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, established in 1984 to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization.
