Lena Grace Holloway

Synopsis

Derrick Lawley was the best estate lawyer in the city—sharp, ruthless, and utterly fearless when it came to twisting the law to his advantage. But his latest client, a secretive billionaire with a bizarre clause in his will, offered Derrick a challenge even he couldn’t resist: a contract designed to outlast death itself.One fatal heart attack later, Derrick finds himself still bound to the deal… as a ghost. Tasked with delivering a soul to satisfy the contract’s chilling terms, Derrick must haunt the designated heir—Atticus Bellamy—into compliance. But the deeper he delves into the Bellamy family’s tangled past, the more the lines between duty and morality blur.With a demonic enforcer watching his every move, a haunting that unravels in ways he never anticipated, and the gnawing suspicion that he’s been misled from the very start, Derrick’s race against an impossible deadline pushes him to question everything—especially his own role in the twisted game.What happens when the ultimate contract lawyer becomes a clause trapped within the fine print?And when you can no longer trust the terms—or yourself—how do you escape a deal with no way out?

Loralei's Siren Song - A Sequel...

Chris Bliersbach

Residents had long forgotten the shocking events of the summer of 1972. Until someone moved into Old Lady Ketchel’s derelict home on 33 Tailings Way.
It had been 25 years since Old Lady Ketchel’s reign of terror ended, and the Slaughter family and empire met its fiery end. Enough time for residents to purge the town of the Slaughter monarchy, and any vestige of the family’s past influence or existence. Or so they thought. Little did they know that Enoch Slaughter, Jr. had fathered a baby boy with a teenage stripper just before his demise.
Then there was Karen Garber and her baby Loralei, thought to be the product of her marriage to Enoch Slaughter IV. However, Karen knew the truth, which she took with her when she and Loralei fled Slaughter for greener pastures. But now, Loralei was a young adult with questions about the identity of her birth father. Something her mother vowed never to divulge.
So when Loralei returned to what used to be Slaughter and moved into the ramshackle eyesore that had been Old Lady Ketchel’s home, residents became nervous. It had stood vacant and neglected for a quarter of a century. Not because the townspeople hadn’t thought to bulldoze it and create a nice, quiet green space. It’s just that every time a demolition crew stepped foot onto the property, some tragedy would befall them. Eventually, they gave up trying to rid the town of the one last remnant from Slaughter’s tumultuous past.
Why had Loralei moved back to town and into Old Lady Ketchel’s house? Would she come to some misfortune, like the demolition crews? Or was her distant connection to the town’s chaotic past a harbinger of calamities to come?
Loralei’s Siren Song is a sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series. Just when you thought the chaos was over!
