He had, for many years, been unable to shake the feeling that someone was following him. It was the whisper of crisp autumn leaves as they're carried along the sidewalk and the worn scuffing of sneakers; sounds which instantly evaporate into silence when one attempts to find their source. It had become second nature for the man to glance warily over his shoulder; a habit which had earned him curious stares and a crick in his neck. The feeling was constant, persistent; it was a melody which played itself relentlessly over and over again behind his furrowed brows. On this particular afternoon, however, Nigel Harper had forgotten the tune.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

Tides of the Unknown
The sea keeps many secrets, but some are too dark to stay hidden.

When a local fisherman vanishes under suspicious circumstances, Anaya's scientific curiosity turns into a desperate quest for answers. Teaming up with a skeptical detective and a reclusive historian, she uncovers a chilling connection between the disappearances, her father's unsolved vanishing fifteen years ago, and an ancient artifact buried beneath the waves. As the tides pull back farther than ever before, exposing a hidden network of underwater caves, Anaya races against time to unravel the town's darkest secrets. But the deeper she delves, the clearer it becomes-some forces are better left undisturbed. Will Anaya confront the horrors beneath the surface, or will she and Ravenshollow become the next victims of the unknown?
