    When the Wallace family travels to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe hoping to reconnect, they expect peace, beauty, and maybe a bit of adventure. What they find is a centuries-old spirit with unfinished business—and a curse that doesn’t forget.
     
    Sacrilege: Curse of the Mbirwi is a chilling and emotional journey through ancestral vengeance, buried secrets, and the fierce reckoning that follows when the sacred is disturbed. After Dashon Wallace unknowingly desecrates a spiritual tomb, his family is thrust into a battle that is both physical and spiritual. As terrifying visions and inexplicable events unfold, they must confront more than just a supernatural force—they must face their own history, trauma, and guilt.
     
    Set against the richly textured backdrop of African mythology, this gripping novel blends psychological suspense with deep emotional truth. It’s a haunting reminder that what we bury—emotionally or spiritually—never truly disappears. It waits.

    Welcome to Hollywood Lakes, where the water is warm, the coffee is hot, and the magic begins at midlife. This semi-cozy paranormal women's fiction series has wit, attitude, and a slow-burn romance. 
     
     
     
    Shay Atwater is a talent manager in Hollywood with a knack for making dreams come true. But somehow, she's never quite found her own. At 44, she fears she's running out of time—especially in Hollywood where women of a certain age become invisible. 
     
     
     
    She needs a reset, and settling her grandmother's estate is the perfect opportunity for a getaway to Hollywood Lakes, the idyllic town where she spent summers in childhood. But when her BFF, Avery, shows up begging to use her grandmother's inn as a movie location, what's meant to be a vacation turns into anything but. And when her teenage crush moves back to town, divorced and handsome as ever, she's really in for it. 
     
     
     
    Exploding lights and ghostly sounds ruin takes until the director threatens to shut down the shoot. Shay must find out what—or who—is wreaking havoc, and she's betting the ancient spell book in the attic will help. If only she can figure out how to open it, she might just find the calling she's been seeking and awaken the witch within.

    The Dunwich Horror — Part 8 of 10

    Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
    The devastation left in the wake of the unseen horror deepens. Across the battered hills of Dunwich, homes lie in ruin, fields are torn apart, and the air itself feels wrong — twisted by the passage of something that should not exist. The invisible behemoth roams beyond human reach, and fear has become an inescapable presence in the countryside. 
    In the aftermath, hope flickers for the first time. A small band of scholars prepares to confront what cannot be seen, armed not with weapons, but with forbidden knowledge and desperate incantations. Yet even this fragile resistance feels terrifyingly inadequate against a force born beyond the stars. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this chapter carries the story toward its turning point — where human defiance stands face to face with an indifferent and ancient terror that was never meant to be fought. 
    This is Part 8 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the end begins to take shape.
