  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...

  May, 1924. It’s been seven months since young British widow Emma Blackstone arrived in Hollywood to serve as companion to Kitty Flint: her beautiful, silentmovie star sister-in-law. Kitty is generous, kind-hearted … and a truly terrible actress. Not that Emma minds; she’s too busy  
  making her academic parents turn in their graves with her new job writing painfully historically inaccurate scenarios for Foremost Studios, in between wrangling their leading lady out of the arms of her army of amorous suitors. 
   
  So when one of Kitty’s old flames, renowned film director Ernest Zapolya, calls Emma and tells her it’s imperative he meet with Kitty that morning, she’s not surprised. Until, that is, he adds that lives depend on it. Ernest sounds frightened. But what can have scared him  
  so badly—and what on earth does cheerful, flighty Kitty have to do with it? 
   
  Only Ernest can provide the answers, and Kitty and Emma travel to the set of his extravagant new movie to find them. But the shocking discovery they make there only raises further questions … including: will they stay alive long enough to solve the murderous puzzle?

  For fans of Stephen King's The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water. 
    
  Don't let the water drag you down … 
    
  It's been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly "living water" that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity.  
    
  Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy. 
    
  Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything. 
    
  A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

  The Covid Murders is a medical thriller that also explores what is wrong with American health care and how to fix it. The second in The Irv Tinsley Health Policy Detective series picks up where the acclaimed The Theory of Irv: An American Health Policy Detective Story left off.  
  The Covid Murders begins with a dead body: an unfortunate patient who dies on an operating room table in a suburban Nashville, Tennessee hospital. Thomas Baker’s open-heart surgery goes wrong, unleashing forces inside the hospital and out that threaten the public’s health.  It matters that Thomas Baker is a “very important person” in the community. 
  Our story’s central hero, Irv Tinsley, is brought into the investigation of Baker’s death through his friendship with the Hospital's new administrator.  Their investigation soon encounters big problems, including questions about other suspicious deaths at the Hospital.  Could they all be explained by Covid?  Or were these just the result of medical errors? Or is there a systematic care problem at play that threatens future patients? Or could it be something even worse? 
  The quest for truth also runs into political complications of the highest order, not just in Nashville but Washington, D.C.  The future of American health policy confronts our heroes! You may come away from this read believing that we are on the path of destruction, that is if we don’t assert control over the health care system and the politics that surround it.   
  Readers will discover an entertaining way to access the complex issues of American health policy and politics through this cross over genre that adds these important health policy questions to the traditional medical thriller genre. Listen today!
