    Jeff wasn’t the same man Kit Squires had married, but was he capable of murder? 
    A year has passed since Jeff lost his job as a radio host, yet he stubbornly clings to the hope of being rehired. He begs Kit to be patient for a little longer. But her physical therapy earnings alone can’t support the family, and their bank account is streaking toward the danger zone—much like her marriage. Desperate, Kit issues an ultimatum—get a job or move out.  
    Then gunshots blast across the airwaves of Jeff’s former show. And in the dead air that follows, he utters some troubling last words. He had no reason to be at the station. Was this why he’d asked for “just a little more time?” 
    Torn between believing the evidence against Jeff or trusting the integrity of the man she thought she knew, Kit’s choice puts her at odds with her son, Bryce. One of them has to be wrong and that could have fatal consequences. 
    Was the evidence lying or had she been fooled by Jeff all along? That’s the question Kit must answer in Dead Air: A Waco Mystery, a novel about a family in crisis and the importance of character.

    The clock is ticking. 
    When Amanda Reeves, a beautiful young student, is kidnapped on the streets of Los Angeles, LAPD Detective Ray Collins knows that every second counts. Because the kidnapping is clearly the latest work of the serial killer known as the "Night Shade Killer," who has terrified the city for the past twelve years. 
    Each year, the killer kidnaps a victim to torture and eventually kill them after a thoroughly planned ritual. Each time, there are exactly nine days between the abduction and the victim's death. The murderer has never been caught. 
    And this time, too, all traces lead nowhere. Until Ray, whose reputation as a loner makes him more enemies than friends at the LAPD, investigates on his own and makes an incredible discovery. A discovery that brings back his insomnia as much as the flashbacks from his past. 
    It soon becomes clear that this case is not only the biggest case of Ray's career, but also the most personal... can he catch the killer before another victim loses their life?

    She was the good girl who desired the bad boy. He left the small town that tried to kill him to become someone better. Life don't always turn out the way you'd planned but these two will need more than grit to survive when fate brings them back together. 
     
     
     
    Palmer had it all except what she truly desired . . . she came from money, but she learned early money didn't buy you love or class. What it did was buy you silence and fear. 
     
     
     
    They say you can never go back home once you leave. For Keys, he never planned to step one foot back into the town he'd grown up in, a place he'd had any sense of love beat out of him. 
     
     
     
    It only takes one message to change the course of two lives . . . when you find out your entire life was a lie; you have a couple of choices. Head into the lions' den and face your past like a man, or let sleeping dogs lie. Keys was never one to run from his past. Palmer didn't realize she'd stir up a hornet's nest of epic proportions when she located the only man who'd ever made her feel safe. If only they could live long enough to see if fate would allow them a chance this time around.
