Summary

One winter night, fire tore through the Taylor farmhouse and shattered a future that had only just begun. Ryan Taylor had a wife he adored, a child on the way, and a life unfolding with promise—until the flames consumed it all.
 
But some stories don’t end where the world thinks they do.
 
In the quiet aftermath, Ryan drifts through the smoke-filled corridors of memory, tethered to a house that refuses to release its hold. Shadows shift, rooms breathe, and the past replays in fragments—some tender, some unbearable, all demanding to be faced. Yet beneath the grief lies something far more sinister, a force twisting memory and bending truth until nothing is certain.
 
Through Ryan’s eyes, Limeville’s haunting deepens, revealing not only sorrow and loss, but secrets darker than fire itself. What lingers is not just love, but the threat of something still waiting in the ash.
 
Embers Part II: Traces of Limeville is the second novel in Rowan Kade’s atmospheric Embers series, peeling back the fire from the other side. Dark, intimate, and unsettling, it reminds us that every fire leaves a trace—and not all traces should be followed.
Available since: 08/30/2025.
Print length: 125 pages.

    Title: The Tomb 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1917 (first published 1922) 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 26 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Tomb by H. P. Lovecraft is a tale of ancestral obsession, forbidden curiosity, and the thin veil separating memory from madness. It follows Jervas Dudley, a solitary dreamer fascinated by an ancient mausoleum belonging to the long-dead Hyde family. Drawn by an irresistible pull, he becomes consumed by the mystery of the tomb — and by the eerie sense that his destiny is entwined with the dead within. 
    Through Lovecraft’s early mastery of gothic atmosphere and psychological unease, The Tomb explores themes of hereditary memory, morbid fixation, and the haunting persistence of the past. What begins as mere curiosity descends into a dreamlike horror, where identity and sanity unravel among the shadows of the grave. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the dark romanticism and creeping dread of Lovecraft’s vision — a descent into the spectral corridors of the mind. While the text resides in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classic works of horror and the uncanny, The Tomb bridges gothic tradition and cosmic dread — a haunting meditation on the lure of the past and the peril of those who cannot let the dead rest. 
    Listeners should prepare for a story where fascination becomes fate, where dreams trespass upon death, and where the past itself refuses to stay buried.

    Being turned into a Valkyrie put a crimp in a girl's dating plans, even when the rest of the town was full of monsters. 
     
     
     
    Isla Hart figured the odds of finding her happily ever after were slim when she sprouted wings . . . until she saved Cooper Madison's life and couldn't get him out of her head. Too bad he was human, and it wasn't as though she'd ever see him again anyway. 
     
     
     
    Unable to pilot planes after an accident, Cooper was in search of somewhere to figure out what came next. When he rented a cabin near where his plane had gone down, he never expected to run into the woman he thought was a figment of his imagination. Or that he'd fall head over heels in love with her.

    I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. 
     
     
     
    Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.)

    Having the skill to speak to the ghosts of the dead is usually helpful to a medical examiner, but not when the ghosts can't identify who killed them. Keeping Angus safe is Lance's first priority as he does everything he can to try and help fit the clues together and bring peace to those who have died. 
     
     
     
    Working together, Angus and Lance put everything else on hold as they follow the leads to find a cop killer. With the help of friends both living and dead, the puzzle slowly starts to fit together, but once they have all the pieces, can they find the killer before another officer is shot?

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    The undead still carry memories of the past: a phone, a wallet of family photos, an ID. After a ravaging plague has turned humanity into a race of flesh-eating monsters, remembering these victims as people falls on one man—a grieving, hopeless survivor who feels called to collect these artifacts. 
    Years of living in solitude grind away until Viktor discovers the ID of a woman whose photo doesn't match the corpse that carried it. Imagining that she may still be alive, he conjures a plan to track her down by traveling thousands of miles to foster the only thing more dangerous than the dead: HOPE. 
    On this mission he’ll face hordes of the infected, the horrific beast that sparked the outbreak, and an old foe from the past from whom he barely escaped with his own life.
