The echoing grave
The Echoing Grave is a chilling tale set in the heart of a desolate village, overshadowed by an ancient cemetery shrouded in mystery. For centuries, the locals have whispered about an unmarked grave known only as The Echoing Grave, said to hold a tormented soul. Legend claims that anyone who dares to speak near the grave after sunset will hear their words repeated-distorted, malicious, and laced with cryptic warnings. The story follows Elena, a skeptical journalist, who arrives in the village to debunk the legend. Armed with nothing but a recorder and her doubts, she ventures to the grave at twilight. She speaks a few innocuous words, but what answers her is far from ordinary. The voice mimics her tone but twists her sentences into grotesque threats and unnerving secrets about her past-things no one could possibly know. As Elena delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a harrowing truth: the voice belongs to a vengeful spirit trapped by an ancient curse, and its power grows with every word it hears. The more she investigates, the closer she comes to unraveling her own connection to the grave-a link that could cost her not only her sanity but also her soul. The story builds to a terrifying climax as Elena realizes the only way to silence the echo is to confront the grave's dark history, even if it means becoming a part of it forever. The Echoing Grave explores themes of guilt, obsession, and the haunting consequences of uncovering truths that were meant to stay buried.Complete

The Last Echo
The Last Echo is a psychological thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, blurring the line between reality and madness. When a woman is found dead in a lavish apartment, the only clue left behind is a tape recorder, playing the distorted, cryptic voice of a previous victim, whispering: "He's watching you." For Jax Ward, a troubled private investigator on the brink of blindness, this chilling message becomes an invitation-or perhaps a warning-to unravel a series of brutal, ritualistic murders. As Jax's sight deteriorates, his grip on reality slips, and he is plunged into a harrowing journey where the boundaries between past and present, victim and perpetrator, become terrifyingly fluid. Jax's investigation leads him deeper into a world of psychological manipulation, where he becomes the target of a killer with terrifying abilities: a man who can project vivid visions of his murders into Jax's mind. Each vision is more real, more visceral than the last, pushing Jax further toward madness and self-doubt. As Jax delves deeper into the case, he is forced to confront his own dark past, personal demons, and the chilling possibility that he is not just investigating the murders-he may be complicit in them. In this noir-inspired thriller, the line between hunter and hunted fades as Jax struggles to piece together the truth. The deeper he goes, the more his reality unravels. But as he closes in on the killer, Jax begins to question: Is the murderer truly psychically manipulating him, or is his mind simply breaking under the weight of guilt, loss, and addiction? Gripping, dark, and filled with shocking twists, The Last Echo is a tale of obsession, mind games, and the price of redemption, where the true horror lies not just in the murders, but in the fragility of the human mind. Will Jax Ward survive the killer's final game, or will he be consumed by the echoes of his own past?Complete

The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
