The quiet 1950s town of Elmbrook, Indiana sits atop a powder keg of mystical energies, all but imperceptible to its denizens. When a wandering necromancer, Simon Van Hadley, and his beguiling, capricious dark arts mistress arrive to unlock the mystic energies of the region's many ley lines, they risk unleashing their reality-tearing power.

As Simon delves deeper into the town's mysteries, he uncovers a ritual gone awry and a past he can barely remember, filled with untold sacrifices and forgotten sins. The very fabric of reality is at stake, and Simon must navigate a treacherous path between redemption and darkness, all while contending with the town's haunted history and his own fractured soul.

"The Necromancer's Folly" is a gripping tale of magic, redemption, and the shadows that linger in the quiet corners of small-town America. Simon Van Hadley's struggle is not just against external forces, but also the darkness of his forgotten past, as he strives to protect a world he can only trespass among its people.All Rights Reserved

Necromancers seek out the weak and kill the innocent to help put a bloodlust backed by a demonic pact to sleep. The only way to catch one before they destroy everything you've ever loved and known is to pray they have an apprentice. If the apprentice makes a mistake, both the master and it's pupil will be easy to kill.

Nina knows she can't beat him alone, but the only person willing to believe her is Gideon, a sexy renegade agent as mysterious as the magictech organization he once worked for.

A WATTPAD FEATURED BOOK (4/26/18) **I took this down because it's very old and rough in places from being the first novel I ever finished, but people have asked me to put it back up. Please note that this not an erotic romance like my other books. It's a science fiction/paranormal mashup with some slow-burn romance.**

I know it's not at its best, but I'm working on it... "Wow, I am so hooked!" "You captivated me from the start..." "The storyline seems very original..." The above were just a few of the comments I received... :) As you can tell, this is also a romance as well as paranormal/fantasy :) hehe Laura__Zalenga owns the right to the picture in the cover...

Too Dark for you to Love by Lisa_Evette

In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyou
