    Not all monsters belong to the movies . . . 
     
    In the fall of 2008, John Carver's older brother, Owen, goes missing. He is found dead a few days later, his body torn apart by the local wildlife. Despite reports of strange noises heard at the time of Owen's disappearance, the police rule the tragedy as "a death by misadventure." 
     
    Fast forward to the summer of 2009. 
     
    To cope with his brother's passing, John dives into the art of filmmaking. Armed with a camcorder and his two closest friends, Ali and Becca, he begins work on a horror movie with the hopes of winning the local Harvest Festival Short Film Contest and a prize of a thousand dollars. The work proves difficult but rewarding. 
     
    Until, while gathering footage one night, the trio cross paths with something inhuman. 
     
    And a new question now burns in John's mind: Is this the creature responsible for his brother's death? He doesn't know for certain, but he won't stop until he finds out the truth. 
     
    Even if it kills him.

    Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the  
    ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. 
     
    As a lone portal to the living world for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from the  
    Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law. 
     
    And now it might be what gets her killed. 
     
    When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim—who insists she was murdered—latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her  
    killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, Shutter is an explosive debut from one of crime fiction’s most powerful new voices.

    Eddie Lancaster is back in the second half the series: Warlock At War, Dead Warlock, and Undead Warlock. 
    Warlock at War: Book 4	 
    Vampires have brought war to Maidstone. Eddie is the only thing standing in their way. 
    But how can a warlock without magic defeat an army of vampires? 
    Dead Warlock: Book 5 
    The Dead Warlock has risen and his eye is on Eddie 
    His name is a whisper in the darkness. He is a shadow in the night. For centuries he stalked the earth leaving death and destruction in his wake. Sorcerers feared to talk of him. Vampires feared to face him. Then one day he was simply gone. Vanished. Dead. But can the world's most powerful warlock ever truly die? 
    Eddie must choose a side. The sorcerers or the warlocks. Whatever he chooses will shape his future, but will it be for better or for worse? 
    Undead Warlock: Book 6 
    Eddie has to save his friends, stop the apocalypse, and avoid eternal damnation. And he’s only got three days to do it… 
    Eddie must retrieve the Ambrotos Dagger. The task seems easy enough until Eddie tries to do it. 
    The dagger is nowhere to be found and the world is very much changed. Eddie’s explosive sacrifice exposed the supernatural community to the world and not everyone is very happy about it. Old enemies, supernatural and human, emerge from the woodwork to exact revenge on Eddie, and he soon finds himself in the midst of a war between vampires, sorcerers, necromancers, and zombies. 
    If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or Ben Aaronovitch, you will LOVE the Eddie Lancaster novels. Get the rest of the series for a bargain price and discover your new favourite urban fantasy series today.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
     
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
     
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
