VINE VOICE 5 STAR REVIEW
Someone is killing the citizens of Hildebrandt, Texas, and carving perplexing numbers on the bodies. Police Officer Marla Adams has never wanted to be the lead investigator of a major crime, but when her father, the police chief, struggles with mental illness and second in command, her husband Detective Crosby Adams, battles his own demons with drugs and alcohol, she is pressed to take control. Everyone expects her to fail.

Marla charges headlong to save her community from destruction and chases leads near home, across Texas, and halfway around the globe to Montenegro. But Marla is losing the battle and her will. The town is right. They’re doomed. She doesn’t stand a chance of finding the killer.

Until a secret is revealed. One that might break the case wide open and place her squarely in the sights of the monster taking lives in her backyard.

Murder Comes Calling

“This nicely mixes procedural detail and village charm and will appeal to fans of Deborah Crombie and Anne Cleeland.” ~Booklist

When a spate of murders takes place in the quiet riverfront community of Notting Hamlet in south-central England, Scottish barrister Rex Graves is called upon to lend his investigatory expertise. For the first time in his sleuthing career, Rex finds he has good reason to fear for his life.

“In Challinor’s satisfying Rex Graves mystery, the Scottish barrister travels to quiet Notting Hamlet, Bedfordshire, at the request of his widowed friend, Malcolm Patterson, a bumbling retired medical pathologist who in a panic tampered with evidence related to four unsolved murders. For now the only suspect is the house agent who represented all four victims in the midst of selling their properties. (…) An intuitive sleuth, Rex befriends the locals in his effort to find the crucial connection among the deceased. Smooth prose will keep cozy fans turning the pages.” ~Publishers Weekly

Perched on the Rooftop

Perched on the Rooftop

Based on a True Story

When Mita’s daughter falls mysteriously ill, medicine fails, logic crumbles, and fear takes hold. Desperate for answers, Mita turns to anyone who might help—doctors, healers—but nothing stops the darkness closing in around her family.

Then the unexplainable begins. Footsteps echo through empty rooms. Shadows move where no one stands. The line between sickness and something far more sinister begins to blur.

Just as hope starts to fade, a mysterious figure emerges—someone who claims to understand what others cannot. What follows is a chilling true story of endurance, desperation, and the terrifying power of what cannot be explained.

Perched on the Rooftop is more than a haunting—it’s a glimpse into how fear and the unknown intertwine when a family is pushed to its breaking point. Inspired by real events, this story will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

If you’ve ever felt the presence of something you couldn’t explain… this book will feel too close for comfort.

Lost: The Daughter of Ice and Moonlight

In Arcadia, they say, no one can escape the hand of Fate.

In the frozen city of Windhelm, the crown of Arcadia’s Winter Kingdom, the Royal Selection reigns supreme. This competition pits the best of Winter’s young Fae against each other, forcing them to take part in a series of trials, each deadlier than the one that came before it.

The prize?

A soul-bond with the heir to Winter’s throne, and the right to marry them.

It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Each of the Selection’s competitors has spent years training, honing their abilities to become the best that Winter has to offer. Whoever wins would be the perfect match for any Royal.

Only I’m Windhelm’s Princess, heir to the throne, and I’m not marrying anyone just because they tell me to.

The Daughter of Ice and Moonlight is a thrilling spin-off to Katerina’s hit fantasy romance series, The Coldest Fae! If you loved those books, then you’re going to love these even more, as we go back to Arcadia and turn another page in the story of the Winter Kingdom!
