Summer Darkness
(15 pages)
A
newlywed couple, full of hope and excitement, steps into what they think is
their dream home—only to find too late that it’s tainted by a dark history. A
demented murder from forty years ago. The house itself might carry echoes of
that past with creaking floors, strange shadows, or even something more
sinister, like an entity that hasn’t left.

Homecoming to Murder
(117 pages)
Nathan
Perry, a battle-hardened Army vet, steps into the quiet, picturesque streets of
his hometown of Mystic, Massachusetts, expecting a slower pace after years of
conflict. Instead, he’s thrust into a web of small-town secrets as the police
department’s first detective. The affluent neighborhood, lined with grand homes
and manicured lawns, has been hit by a string of break-ins, each more brazen
than the last. Then, a murder. The pressure’s on: solve the case, and the job
is his for good. Fail, and he’s back to square one.
