The walls hold secrets no one else can hear. The mirror shows a perfect life—beauty, wealth, happiness. But behind the door, the truth is far darker. The air feels heavy, every moment filled with quiet threats. Every step is careful, every breath fragile. He’s always watching. Always waiting. "Sometimes, doing the right thing means breaking everything you’ve ever stood for. There’s only so much a person can take. The lies, the hurt, the pressure to keep everything together—it can break you." This isn’t a story with a happy ending. It’s about survival.

He’s the kind of man you’d pass without a second glance. Quiet, reserved, always keeping to himself. But there’s something dark lurking behind his eyes, a twisted obsession that no one could ever suspect. He’s perfected his method, making sure that the boiling geysers of Yellowstone leave nothing behind. No bodies. No evidence. Just silence. Then, a stranger shows up. Strong. Confident. And full of secrets of his own. Their paths shouldn’t cross, but when they do, things start to spiral. The stranger sees something he shouldn’t. And he isn’t looking away.

On the surface, my life seems normal—picturesque, even. To anyone on the outside, I’m just another woman with a smile on her face, going about her day. But they don’t see what’s behind the closed doors. They don’t see the cracks in the facade or hear the screams in the silence.

Time is running out and Gloria Weidman must decide if the very mysterious, much younger man she's falling for is just a smooth-talking serial killer or the vampire with a killer backstory he claims to be. When a series of grisly, inexplicable murders rocks her small East Texas town, Gloria is inspired to write again but finds her research keeps leading her back to Henry Wynter, a new student in her creative writing class.

There are levels to survival. Things you swear you’ll never accept—until you do. Until you have to. Honor was supposed to mean something, wasn’t it? But honor doesn’t quiet the cries of a child in the dead of night. Justice doesn’t pay the bills piling up on the counter. Morality doesn’t patch together a home that’s already frayed at the edges. So, the lies were swallowed. The shame. The betrayal. The late nights filled with secrets and cold, hollow excuses. The chains of addiction that dragged everything further into the dark.

In the eerie town of Ashwood, shadows hide more than darkness—they hide secrets. Secrets that refuse to stay buried. When a journalist returns home to cover a string of strange, chilling events, they quickly realize something isn’t right. Something personal. Something that won’t let them go. The clues are disturbing. Ritualistic. Each one pulls them deeper into a mystery that seems impossibly tied to their own past. The deeper they dig, the worse it gets. Fear, manipulation, lies—it all leads back decades. And something, or someone, doesn’t want the truth to come out.

Imagine drowning in your own sadness, screaming silently into the void, but no one notices. No one hears. Not until the echo of the gunshot rips through the air, sharp and final. Only then do they stop, their laughter caught in their throats, their smiles fading. Only then do they look back, piecing together the fragments they ignored, whispering “Why didn’t we see it?”

In a quiet town, where secrets fester beneath the surface, the lines between trust and terror blur. He was charming. Respected. A man who knew how to worm his way into the lives of those who needed him most. But behind closed doors, his dark desires left scars that could never heal.

Two women lay sprawled in front of my truck. They are very dead. Queenie sits like a statue on the passenger side of my vintage Chevy pick-up, looking like the circus fat lady that she thinks she is - but she's not laughing. I am on sabbatical in the Kaibab National Forest, feeding my own free spirit with life-changing time by myself, much needed and anticipated after my last exhausting coaching case.
