The Red Barn Is Being Re-Released

On By hauntedoctoberLeave a comment

Hello all 🙂 I hope you’re enjoying The Duchess!

I’ve just signed a contract with Vamptasy Publishing (who pubs the Isles and West series) for my short story, The Red Barn. This is a re-release, as the story was originally published by Musa Publishing in 2012. I’m very excited it will be back out in the world soon 🙂

It takes place in the Isles and West world (no Milly or Delilah in this one, but it does tie in loosely with a new trilogy I’m writing in that world 🙂 ), and is told from the POV of a malicious ghost.

On OCTOBER 29, 2016, it will be released as a FREE read!

Here’s the blurb:

When a ghost reaches her limit with an unwanted guest, there’s no telling what Hell will arise.

I have escaped my afterlife for over two centuries; locking my spirit into the old red barn. There have been many owner since my death, but none have ever given me as much strength as the new male owner.

There’s just one problem- his wife.

She is unbearable to me. One of us has to go, and it sure as Hell isn’t going to be me.

 

The Duchess is LIVE!

That’s right- today is the day! The Duchess is now available for purchase and I’m so happy you all finally get to see Delilah and Milly’s next adventure. It’s a dark one, and quite rough 🙂

Blurb:

A high ‘Lady of the Court’, that’s what one newspaper called the large stone building that had once housed prisoners no one else wanted—the mentally and physically ill. That’s how it became known as The Duchess. It was meant to be a safe place for the patients, who were both gifted and non-gifted. But something went terribly wrong. Angry spirits attacked the living and many died within the stone walls before it was closed down.

The newest owner wants the building cleansed of the darkness. She calls in Delilah Isles and Milly West to do the job. It doesn’t take long for the two gifted women to realize that something is exceptionally Dark at The Duchess. Abuse of both the mentally and physically ill is ripe in the air and both of them see and feel the damage done to those who dwelled within the building. Abuse that was still happening to the ghosts trapped inside. The more they dig, the worse their findings get.

Their client is giving them three weeks to do the job, but they soon realize they have far less time than that. The dead and the Dark won’t leave easily, and they will stop at nothing to finish what they started in life.

I do hope you all enjoy this chapter of the Isles and West Mysteries! I did not take it easy on Delilah and Milly in this book. They go through a great deal- both personally and with the case. Of course, they work for N.E.S.S., which means taking care of dangerous ghosts and the Dark are what they do for a living 🙂

BLURB:

Eight years ago, slayer Tuck Houston lost two of her closest friends to a Damned vampire named Josef Dragos—a beast who traded the sun for darkness and blood. She’s been hunting him since the day she walked into the carnage he created. But Josef has hidden himself well in the underground, from both slayers and other vampires.

When slayers around the globe start disappearing in a familiar pattern—Josef’s pattern—she’s put on the hunt. And despite the painful memories and very real threat to her future that come with tracking him down, Tuck is certain of one thing: she is going to make Josef Dragos wish he’d never been born.
