Mother’s Wake

A Bleeding Hearts Valley Thriller

Welcome to Bleeding Hearts Valley, a standalone series of interconnected thrillers in one twisted midwestern suburb.

I wasn’t going home, home was my apartment back in Boston with Clara, back where I had found some semblance of peace and happiness for the last few decades. No, I was going to the wake of a woman not yet dead, unfortunately. The question was whether or not I would survive, because no one else had, no one but mother.

Keep coming back to Bleeding Hearts Valley to uncover more dark secrets. But before moving in, remember, you can never trust your neighbors.

Group for Discussion and Opportunities

I am not a fan and dreading doing newsletters but I am hitting a point where I should be doing them. So I decided to make a Facebook group instead.

I will be looking for BETAs and ARCs for Darkling Cloud soon and this group will be used to find BETAs and ARCs as well as have book discussions, ask the author questions, and exclusive giveaways and opportunities.

Darkling Cloud Part One

Keeper of the Shadows Book 1

Caleb’s life was simple, middle of the lane. He wasn’t dirt poor, but he was living paycheck to paycheck, working a minimum wage job and eeking by in his life in the southern Appalachian mountains.

Then there was the day of the accident and his introduction to the feline that would change his entire life, for better and worse. Caleb begins to question his sanity as well as his luck, but soon begins to wonder exactly what kind of monkey’s paw situation has he found himself in?

Darkling Cloud was just a cat…right? And if she wasn’t, then what was she and how scared should Caleb be? All he knew was that the bodies were piling up, and as his reality began to disintegrate, Caleb was no longer sure he wanted to know the truth.

A bad day brings a new pet and a streak of good luck, but this kitty may be more of a Monkey’s Paw.


Darkling Cloud, the feline, is based on our eldest, Luna. Here is the photograph I took of Luna that would lead to the editing that made my cover and eventually would spawn the story of Darkling Cloud.
