The Shoals
ISBN-978-1508844556
​
Ten miles off the New England coast, the Isles of Shoals have fascinated historians and geologists for hundreds of years. Surrounded by treacherous underwater ledges and unpredictable currents, the grouping of nine tiny islands is rich in folklore and mythology. But the Shoals also hold a deadly secret. Something has come to roost there, a force neither living nor dead, a power without conscience or remorse. And now, three hundred years after its first awakening, as a line of lethal tropical storms marches steadily up the eastern seaboard, it is about to rise again.
Feeding on weakness and desperation, and fueled by the fury of the natural elements, its power can already be felt on the mainland, as it begins to draw a handful of unwilling, unknowing victims to the Shoals, searching for the perfect human host . . .
Diviner
ISBN-978-1511949927
​
Lucas Cantrell is a man with a unique and frightening talent. In the same way that a dowsing rod can locate an underground spring, he has the ability to divine the location of a dead body. Contracted by law enforcement agencies throughout the country to help find the bodies of murder victims, Lucas has no love for his skill, but he understands the sense of closure it gives to the families of the people he finds. When he’s recruited to aid in the search of a serial killer’s property in New Hampshire, his gift becomes a curse. His abilities lead him on a journey into his own past, to a horrible incident from his childhood that may form a direct link to the killer himself.
11:11
ISBN-978-1514108291
​
Each night, at precisely 11:11, Janis Bower is wrenched from her own reality and plunged into a terrifying world of screaming voices and nightmarish imagery, a world where an unspeakable creature is hunting for her. Emerging from these fugues with no memory of what she’s done, Janis discovers that the visions are linked to her childhood. With the help of her twin brother, James—whose memory of their abusive parents is somehow more dependable than her own—she begins to unravel a mystery that began more than twenty years before, drawing closer to a truth so horrifying that even her own sanity is called into doubt. She is forced to confront the traumas of her past—the memories of a failed exorcism and a ghostly childhood presence that has never really gone away—and the certainty that she will do something terrible to her own child if she can’t stop the fugues.
