Little White Flowers
When she and her brother venture to Evanston, Maine to clean out an estranged relative’s estate, horror enthusiast Alice Drayon’s life begins paralleling her favorite page-turners. The sojourn in their grandmother’s “wicked” hometown provides the perfect opportunity for Alice to delve into Grammie’s mysterious past. However, she soon discovers that the horrific event that drove Grammie away is but one small piece of the town’s blighted history.
Confronted with increasing hostility from Evanston’s insular religious community as she closes in on the truth, Alice must risk everything to save lives. Her soft-spoken new neighbor, Riley Moore, seems to have answers ... and some dark secrets of his own. Can Alice trust him to help her put an end to Evanston’s wicked practices, or will she become yet another casualty?

It’s said that the stars can determine fortune. They tell you how lucky you will be in love or money or simply life. This is not those stories.
In this anthology, all the stars are crossed, and horror reigns supreme. Cannibals will play with their food, killers will make macabre art of their victims, retail workers get bloody revenge on their supervisors, and a doll possesses the spirit of a woman’s sister…or does she?
After all, some folks are just born under a bad sign.
Writer's Retreat: Tales of Writing and Madness
No one said being a writer was easy. In fact, there’s so much more to fear than simply writer’s block or misspelled words. Tales of impostor syndrome, misplaced manuscripts, false hopes, thievery and much more…
An amateur writer visited by the deceased spirits of his idols. A fanatic stalking his favorite author to dangerous heights. A comic enthusiast trapped in hell who must follow an unforgiving deadline schedule. A woman grappling with the dangerous specters of rejection. A scholar tracking down the secrets of a mystical poet. A lyricist making a deal with the devil to write new songs.
Malevolent typewriters, method writing, shadow spirits, half-dead darlings, envious fans, sinister reviewers, getaway writing competitions, and many other tales within this collection will teach readers all about the dark, twisted nature behind the creative process.
Praise for "Jane," featured in Grizzly: A Charity Anthology
What a hard hitting tale! So much chaos but such an important message... This was so great.
