The year is 2024. The night of Helen Lewison's fiftieth birthday. One bad decision leads her down a side street in downtown Baltimore where she is assaulted, losing consciousness. She awakens again in a hospital bed in the ICU. Except the year is now 2003, and Helen is 29 years old...and thirsty for revenge. Scared and fearing she's losing her mind, Helen flees the hospital. As she gradually begins to accept her new existence, her thoughts become fueled by hate and fury, and she starts to see this reset as an opportunity to avenge all those who mistreated her throughout her life, including her attacker in Baltimore. Meanwhile, on an island off the coast of Maine, a group of three men and two women known as The Latch have been alerted to this rewind by an ancient instrument called the Apparat. It is the first awakening of the Apparat in decades, and, per their oaths, The Latch must hunt the Quarry (Helen) using a mysterious portal designed specifically for that purpose. But only one can travel in the portal at any time, a duty which falls to a man named Lionel, who is now in his late-fifties and on his third mission for the Latch. Lionel's goal is to find and kill the Quarry before she can alter the trajectory of the world, and though the hunt is physically and mentally taxing, and with every hour that passes, the Quarry becomes deadlier, The Latch believes any awakening of the Apparat means the world's stability is at stake, so Lionel has no choice but to see his duty to the end. Will Lionel be able to stop Helen before she breaks the world? The Latch is a fast-paced thriller about justice and revenge, but also grace and fate and redemption, and, in the end, it shows how every decision has the potential to impact the world.

Bailey and Quinn are back! Bailey Ember Gardener Quinn should’ve read the manual on caring for an incubus before marrying hers. The marriage license hadn’t mentioned anything about their sexy, insatiable ways. If she doesn’t get a single night of undisturbed rest soon, she’ll snap—or go on a napalm bender. Either would work. Recruiting Tiffany “Perkette” Perkins to be her partner-in-crime isn’t the best idea, but nothing says fun quite like a road trip, and Perkette the Misdemeanor Collecting Queen could teach the devil a thing or two about having a good time. Add in a string of rabies cases, more puppies than she can count (or readily adopt,) a job promotion, and her very own incubus in disguise on the hunt for her, and Bailey’s in for one hell of a ride. Warning: this novel contains excessive humor, a unicorn on a napalm bender, Quinn on the hunt, and more shenanigans than you can shake a stick at. Proceed with caution.

She hates her gift – but it just might save her… Geologist Petra Cloch can touch an object and sense the emotions of the people who’ve held it. It’s a miserable way to live. She studied rocks because they rarely ‘talk’ to her and she’s dodged friendships so she won’t need to explain her gift or feel like a voyeur. But when she takes a job as the rock and mineral curator at an unusual western history museum and picks up a jagged crystal in her new office, flashes of rage, fear and death hit hard. Everyone says her predecessor died in a car crash, but what if he was murdered? Under normal circumstances, Petra would never become involved, but what if the previous curator died because of something he did on the job? She could be next. Petra knows she’ll need evidence, not her psychic sense she hides. Can she trust her chatty colleagues who invite her to lunch and to join a book club? And what about the far too watchful Sheriff who keeps showing up unexpectedly… If you love mysteries with a paranormal twist, smart heroines, and small-town intrigue, A Stone Cold Murder will keep you guessing until the very last page.
