New Release! Groundskeeper: My Ghoul
A brand new novella in the Groundskeeper Tales, out just in time for Halloween. When better to read a light tale of ghosts, ghouls, haunted houses (or crypts) and follow the adventures of Chloe? This time, she is going to need some help to solve the mysteries of Belleview, and find out just how far…

Groundskeeper Tale! Now out…
The second Groundskeeper tale, The Hoodoo that You Do, is now available as a standalone ebook with extended ending. When I wrote the original, for an anthology, I had a wordcount limit, so the ending wrapped up the major plotline, and that was all I had room for. Releasing it again gave me the room…

Haunted Libraries!
Ok, this is a worthy cause. I have a story in one of these – there will be two, keep an eye out here for the next month to see when the next one drops – but I don’t know which one. So! It doesn’t matter, because there were a ton of fantastic stories submitted…

Chloe Snippet: House of the Bulls
Since I didn’t write for the prompt last week, here’s a snip of the WIP. Feedback is welcome. I’m still figuring out what I’m doing with this story. *** The bus stop wasn’t at the cemetery entrance, of course. Who would need to come and go to the city of the dead inside the greater…

Odd Prompts: Chloe Snip
Another snippet of the work in progress, as I revisit Belleview and it’s highly unusual inhabitants. *** Several hours later, Chloe stepped out of the last bus, and walked up the sidewalk alongside the high wall of Belleview. She stopped and looked up at it, painted in the warm orange of the setting sun behind…

Odd Prompts: Bring Home The Dead Snippet
A snip of the ongoing Chloe story, where a simple research trip is going sideways. *** “Back to the hotel.” Chloe stared at Satya with narrowed eyes. “Where you ran in with scissors.” “Yes?” He backed up a little and wavered. “I think there’s something you need to see.” Chloe pinched the bridge of her…

Odd Prompts: Chloe Snip
A snippet from the next Groundskeeper story, and my prompt challenge for the week. I’m gearing up the writing – frankly, we need the income. It was never supposed to take six months to complete this move, and two households drains even a decent reserve. So there will be publications rolling out from Sanderley…
