About ‘A House in the Woods’

Laurel and Jeremy Calloway have longed for a new life away from the chaos and confusion of New York City. Driving along a country road in New Jersey with a young real estate agent in the back seat, they almost miss it: a small house in the woods for sale. Laurel immediately thinks this could be the house for them, the house of their dreams, where a simpler life awaits. Laurel can finish her debut novel. Jeremy can look for a job in Philadelphia just an hour away. Stopping to take a look at the property, they meet the house’s caretaker, Eileen, and within a few weeks they find themselves the very lucky owners of their ideal home. But who are the mysterious old couple who’d put the house up for sale, having moved out months ago? Is Eileen more than a friendly neighbor? Who are the townspeople they meet, who all seem aware of the young couple now living in the house in the woods? And is it the house of their dreams, or of their nightmares?

I noticed a lot of other authors using Linktree to consolidate their various links, and now … here I am. You can use the QR code, too. My major links are there (websites, Amazon, Audible, etc). Pretty cool.

2022 is ending with a bang for me! Not only has my latest book, ‘Final Audition: A Marshall James Thriller,’ hit #1 on Amazon’s LGBTQ thriller new releases, but the first book in the series, ‘Murder at the Paisley Parrot,’ climbed to #26 in the best sellers for that category. I’d planned on this being the last book in the series, but fan reaction and sales tells me Marshall may not be ready for retirement quite yet.

And now … a Goodreads giveaway! I’ve been treated well by the Goodreads community and always do a giveaway with a new book. Final Audition is no exception. The giveaway will run from December 1, ending on December 25, just in time for a Christmas freebie!

I wondered who was buying all those books! How exciting is this? I’m ending the year at #1.

I’m releasing two chapters a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. You can now read Chapter 3 of my Kindle Vella serial, ‘I, Warlock.’ Be sure to follow the story and give it a ‘thumbs up’ when you’ve read the chapters. Every little like counts!

For a taste, here’s how Julius Tide reacts the first time he meets Charlotte Blythe, whose destiny will quickly become his own:

“With barely a few feet separating us, I was face to face with the most stunning woman I had ever seen. Everything else we said that afternoon, up to and including, “Thank you,” for her purchase, as I gave her change with a trembling hand, is lost to me. It’s as if I said nothing more at all, consumed by the effort it took not to stare at her.

Charlotte Blythe was twenty-three years old at the time. Had she lived to be a hundred, she would have remained as beautiful. Her hair was a buttery blonde, tumbling in waves over her shoulders. Her skin was so perfect it seemed manufactured from another world, a world where there were no flaws or imperfections. Her eyes were the green of precious emeralds. And her smile, which she offered often and without prompting, was the source of all joy.”
