Love your thrillers good n' scary? Get lost in Hollow Scream.




THE FINAL SCREAM IS HOLLOW

The small mountain town of Crescent Hollow has a serial killer, or is it three?
Women are being murdered in a grisly fashion. Now the killer has targeted one in particular and Wyatt Thomas has vowed to keep her safe.  

HIS BURIAL GROUND HAS BEEN DESECRATED

Forensic psychiatrist Wyatt Thomas has escaped the city to the quiet mountain town of Crescent Hollow to finish his latest book on serial killers.  Cutting himself off from the outside world appears to be a great idea until his work follows him.  A serial killer’s graveyard has been located nearby. As more bodies are unearthed there appears to be three separate MO’s.  The mystery is more than he can resist.

HIS ANGER UNSURPASSED

Special Agents Annie Thomas and Blake Hayashi of the FBI’s Behavior Analyst Unit have been sent to the George Washington Jefferson National Forest to aid local law enforcement with a case.  Either a serial killer has been active in the area for roughly fifty years, or three killers are using the same dumping ground. 

SOMEONE MUST PAY

Seasoned homicide detective Merrybell Montgomery left her career in Philly to take care of her ailing husband in his hometown of Crescent Hollow, Virginia. Although he passed over a year ago, she’s remained in the picturesque town with no idea what to do with the rest of her life. Suddenly she finds herself stuck in the middle of a nightmare. She’s being stalked by a serial killer and has no idea what put her in his sights.

NO ONE IS SAFE

Now they must all work together to stop a killer or die trying.

BLUE MOON by Lisa Kessler

She’s his muse, his mate, and she’s completely off-limits.

He’s a jerk, a recluse, and her newest assignment.
Until he broke her heart, Vivianna Lopez loved Logan Reynolds.
Five years later, she’s an aspiring music journalist and he’s the camera-shy lead singer of Logan and the Howlers.
Armed with a backstage pass, Vivi’s back in her hometown of Reno, nestled in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains. She must score an interview with Logan to land her dream job - otherwise it’s back to Boston, with no scoop and no job. It’s just business–at least that’s what she keeps telling herself.

DARKWATER ECHOES by Pam Moran 
PSI Sentinels: Darkwater Guardians

Blackwater Sound – Key Largo, Florida

Echoes across a dark body of water, echoes from the past, echoes haunting the future.

FBI Agent Trent Sawyer is supposed to be cooling his heels after an unsanctioned operation. A case, both personal and dangerous, that ripped away his psychic ability and left him unsure of his place on the covert PSI Task Force. When the boat he’s on is hijacked, he chafes at orders to rely on the reluctant assistance of tiki-bar owner Jillian Rose.

Trust is hard won in Jillian’s world. The last thing she needs is a stranger underfoot, a man with secrets darker than the Sound on a pitch black night. A man with the ability to crack her carefully constructed shell, a man she’s having a hard time resisting.  Buy link: Amazon

Holy Screaming Meemies, it's Scream Weekend!






ICE SCREAM 


YOU CAN’T SCREAM

Somewhere in the vast Alaskan wilderness hides a psychotic monster. His methods are unlike any other serial killer to date. He likes his women cold, frozen to be exact. Once finished with a victim, he displays her like a twisted piece of art.

YOU CAN’T RUN

FBI Agent Annie Thomas is on leave after the loss of her fiancĆ©, Matt Locklear. She has spent the better part of a year in his one-bedroom cabin in the wilds of Alaska. Lately she’s had the feeling of being watched. Is her self-imposed exile getting the better of her?

YOU CAN’T HIDE

Homicide Detective Stone Wooshkeetaan has become a driven man. He would work 24/7 if he could, anything to prevent him from sleeping. He’s the one who found the mutilated body of his friend, Matt, an image that has haunted his dreams ever since.
                                                         
YOU CAN’T MOVE

It’s the day after Christmas and Draper’s Pond is filled with the sound of laughing children as they race around on the ice trying out their new skates. Little do they know a dark cloud looms ahead. Two little girls are holding hands and spinning as fast as they can until they break apart. One goes sliding into a snow bank. Once she rises, a blood curdling scream rips from her tiny throat, silencing the crowd. Directly below her is the body of a woman trapped under the ice; her hands up as if warding off an attack, her mouth frozen in a silent scream.
                                                   
HE WINS

The woman’s death was not an accident and Stone is certain this isn’t the killer’s first victim. He asks Annie to help him prove it, but before long the investigation takes a sinister turn. The bodies of women start showing up all over the Mat-Su Valley looking like horrific ice sculptures. Now Annie and Stone are on the hunt for a sadistic killer hiding in a state over twice the size of Texas and largely comprised of uninhabited wilderness.  They must capture this beast before he finishes his perverse agenda and disappears…

He kidnaps them. Punishes them. Sends them to Hell. Then displays them so everyone recognizes them as sinners.

IF HE FINDS YOU

Texas Ranger William Thomas, is called to a gruesome scene where the nude body of a mutilated woman has been found. Kneeling. Trussed to a tree. Hands bound together in prayer. Cradling something ghastly in her arms. No sooner does he catch the case, when the FBI swoops in to steal it.

HE WILL NEVER 

Special Agent Savannah St. Germaine, is working a case in Louisiana where a killer has been staging macabre scenes right out of the Bible.

LET YOU GO

Lorelei Hamilton finally gets the nerve to leave her abusive husband. Everything is well thought out. She’ll ditch her car, dump her cell phone, change her name and establish a new identity.

NIGHT SCREAM


NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU SCREAM

A psychotic killer terrorizing a small mountain town sets his sights on those hunting him.            

Special Agent Cody Thomas, from the FBI’s Violent Crimes Unit in Los Angeles, decides to take a week off in the small mountain town of Big Bear. Do a little fishing, a little hiking.

HE'S WATCHING

Deputy Jilly Reid left the Central Homicide Unit of San Bernardino and moved up the mountain to her hometown to get away from death and the devastating things people do to one another. Handing out parking tickets all day is just fine with her.


No sooner does Cody hit the town when he runs into Jilly, a girl he knew in high school. But there's no time to reminisce, she's in a hurry. An incoherent call came into dispatch. A fisherman down in Hunters Cove is carrying on about finding dead women.  A lot of them.

HE'S WAITING

Cody joins Jilly on the call. What they find doesn’t belong in the sleepy little town. An underwater graveyard. A deranged killer used the lake as a dump site. Seven mutilated bodies. Chained by their feet to cinder blocks. Fish food.  Completely unrecognizable.  The only assumption is they’re women because of their long flowing tresses waving back and forth in the current.  Their distorted faces set in a silent scream for all eternity.

HE'S PISSED

The victims had obviously been in the water for some time, so naturally Cody and Jilly think the killer is long gone. Until he begins taunting them. He’s out there watching their every move and letting them know he could take them out whenever he wants. Then women begin disappearing at an alarming rate.

YOU'RE DEAD

Now they must stop this sadistic killer or die trying.

SANDMAN 



BEWARE THE SANDMAN—HE’LL PUT YOU TO SLEEP. . .FOREVER

A serial killer on the loose, a woman with a psychotic stalker and a homicide detective who must find the connection before it’s too late.

He collects women. Imprisons them. Plays with them. Tortures them. He gathers souvenirs. His trophies are many.

LOCK YOUR DOORS AND PULL THE SHADES

Meagan McInnis is being psychologically tormented. Her dog has become restless. He barks incessantly, but when peering out into the darkened abyss, there’s no one in sight. The image of a pair of eyes staring back from the pitch haunts her. The phone startles her awake, only dead air answers her plea. Until the night she stumbles upon a grisly display in her garden.

THE CALLER IS SILENT NO MORE
   
Seasoned, Homicide Detective, J.J. Thomas, is working his most horrific case to date, and he’s seen some pretty gruesome things in his time. The monster he’s hunting ranks up there with Ed Gein. He wouldn’t be surprised to find lampshades made out of human skin in the psycho’s living room.

THEY CALL HIM THE SANDMAN

With no one else available, Thomas is called out to a crime scene in the wee hours of the morning. He’s told to pass the case off as soon as possible, so he can focus on his own investigation. But that’s before he realizes the ghastly exhibit and his case are linked.  Better yet, that Meagan McInnis, is the key to discovering the Sandman’s true identity.

SWEET DREAMS

With his department grossly understaffed, only he and his partner, Shadowhawk, can see to Meagan’s safety. At the same time delve deep into her past to uncover just how she became the obsession of this sadistic killer before she becomes his next prize.

Ghost Story Lovers: Get Lost in Spirits of the Bayou.











EVIL HAS A FACE

Someone is taking the children of New Orleans. No bodies have been found. No ransom demands made. Poor or Rich. Black or White. Boy or Girl. The kidnapper does not play favorites.

PRAY

In this prequel to Spirits Among Us, nineteen year-old Jon-Luc Boudreaux is trying to manage his gift. He’s a psychic medium, in other words he sees the dead. They appear to him like living breathing people. At times it’s hard to know the difference. One night he is visited by the ghost of a young girl named Charlotte. Her message is simple; Save the children.

THAT EVIL

Jon-Luc has no idea how to do that. He’s not a cop. He knows nothing about finding missing kids. He tries to ignore her, but Charlotte won’t leave him alone until he promises to help. Since her visits started, he’s had some very disturbing visions.  When the signs begin to point toward Voodoo, he has no choice but to find an expert.

DOES NOT

Celestine Glapion is a Voodoo Priestess and a descendant of the great Marie Luveau. The minute Jon-Luc walks into her family’s shop she remembers him, but he has no memory of her.  So when Mama Arelia tells her she must help with this crisis, she’s reluctant to work side-by-side with Jon-Luc. But she’ll do anything for the sake of those innocent lives.

FIND YOU

Their journey takes them to the underbelly of New Orleans where dark magic lives. Jon-Luc escapes death not once, but twice and still he pushes on.  Knowing time is running out, the kidnapper speeds up the schedule. Now the children’s lives hang in the balance and only Jon-Luc holds the key to their survival. Can he rescue them in time?

Read an excerpt from Spirits of the Bayou


"Wake up, Jon-Luc!"
Jon-Luc Boudreaux opened his eyes to see a small child beckoning him from the doorway of his bedroom. She had a riot of blonde curls that cascaded past her shoulders, sorrowful brown eyes and dark shadows under her eyes. Her tattered grey dress was fashioned from another era.
If he had to guess, he'd say it was circa the 1800's. It buttoned to her chin, the puffy sleeves were long and a dirty white apron topped it off. The uniform was three sizes too large. Her tiny feet were bare.
"Come. You must save the children." Her tiny voice pleaded.
Luc blinked a couple of times. "Who are you?"
Her fists landed on her hips. "Charlotte Dubois."
As if he should know, but he'd never seen her before. Had he?  "I'm sorry, mon petit, but I have a big test tomorrow and I must get my sleep. Come back another time." He closed his eyes.
The next thing he knew, he was no longer lying in front of the fan praying for winter. Instead he found himself in the thicket of a bayou. The humidity was so dense he could hardly breathe. A heavy fog drifted lazily along the water. Spanish moss dripped from the trees and swayed ever so slightly.
Moonlight infiltrated the foliage above casting eerie shadows. A chorus of frogs and crickets serenaded him. From a distance the sound would have been peaceful, but standing amongst them the volume was deafening.
Lightening bugs winked and blinked. The scent of decaying vegetation wafted through the air, not at all an unpleasant smell. It reminded him of playing pirates with his friends in the bayou near his old house. A warm breeze kicked up and along with it came the odor of death.
He glanced down to see that all he had on were the boxers he'd worn to bed. He wiggled his toes in the mud, and then tried to walk, but his feet were stuck. As if they’d been super-glued to that very spot. A splash nearby had him jerking his head toward the sound. He searched the area for gators. This was no place to find yourself after dark.
Alligators and water moccasins were nocturnal creatures who fed at night. The venom of the snake was deadly and gators were strong and fast. Before you knew it, you could be grabbed, pulled into the water and drowned before devoured or stashed for eating later.
A buzzing near his ear alerted Luc that a mosquito was preparing to feast. It landed on his arm and he slapped at it, but missed. The thing was the size of a blue heron and could probably have drained him of all his blood like a vampire. Okay, maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but it was the biggest damn mosquito he’d ever seen. He had to find a way out of there before he was eaten alive in one way or the other.
The fact that Luc couldn't move really freaked him out. As ridiculous as it sounded, he found comfort in little Charlotte’s hand in his. As if this waif could somehow save him should something go terribly wrong. He squeezed her hand and silently willed her to stay by his side.
His gaze ventured further out where he noticed children holding hands with their backs to him. Their feet hovered atop the mossy green water, the fog danced around their ankles. On the bizzaro scale from one to ten this dream ranked about twenty.
"Why are we here, mon petit?" he asked.
Her cherubic face turned up toward him. "You must save them, Jon-Luc." Her finger pointed to the kids in the middle of the bayou.
"From what?"
"From the evil that keeps them here," she whispered.

A Boxed Set of Thrills and Chills from Morgan Hannah MacDonald



SANDMAN

Beware the Sandman. He'll put you to sleep…forever. 

A serial killer on the loose, a woman being stalked, and a homicide detective who must find the connection before it’s too late!

He collects women. He imprisons them, plays with them, tortures them. Until they bore him.  Then he removes a souvenir. 

They call him the Sandman. 

Meagan McInnis is being plagued with late night calls, yet when she answers, no one is there. Then one night she makes a grisly discovery in her own backyard. 

The caller is silent no more. 

Homicide Detective, J.J. Thomas, realizes Meagan is the key to finding the Sandman. Now not only must he protect her, but he must find the connection between Meagan and the killer before she becomes his next prize.



NIGHTSCREAM 

No one will hear you scream. A serial killer terrorizing a small mountain town sets his sights on those hunting him.  

Cody Thomas is an FBI agent working with the Violent Crimes Unit in Los Angeles, California when he takes a week off to decompress in his hometown of Big Bear. 


He's watching.

Jilly Reid has left the Central Homicide Unit of San Bernardino and moved up the mountain to her hometown of Big Bear to get away from death and her cheating ex-husband. 


He's waiting.


No sooner does Cody arrive in town when he runs into Jilly, a girl he knew in high school. But there's no time to reminisce, she's in a hurry. An incoherent call came into dispatch. A fisherman down in Hunters Cove is carrying on about finding dead women.  A lot of them.

He's pissed. 

Cody rides along with Jilly on the call. What they find is an underwater graveyard. A serial killer is using the lake to dump his victims. Seven women, brutally tortured, are chained to cinder blocks, their long tresses waving back and forth with the current.  Their faces set in a silent scream for all eternity.

You're dead.

At first, Cody and Jilly think the killer is long gone, but soon they learn he's watching them. Taunting them. Then women start disappearing at an alarming rate.

Meagan McInnis and Jesse James Thomas go to meet his brother, Cody, at the family cabin for spring break. But relaxing is the last thing they get when Meagan's sister, Bridget, goes missing.

Now Jilly and Cody must stop a killer or die trying.



LAST SCREAM

Each scream could be your last.  

He kidnaps them. Punishes them. Sends them to hell. Then he displays them so everyone will know they are sinners.

If he finds you

Texas Ranger William H. Thomas is called to a small town where the body of a mutilated woman has been found. She's kneeling and trussed to a tree, and her hands are tied together as if in prayer. Something horrific lies in her arms. No sooner does he catch the case, when the FBI swoops in to take it. 

He will never

Special Agent Savannah St. Germaine, from the Louisiana branch of the FBI, is working a case in which the killer leaves his victims nailed up in crucifixion fashion. A similar MO shows up in Texas. Certain it's the same killer, she heads to Austin to investigate further. Her suspicions are confirmed, but the powers that be aren't willing to hand over the case. If she wants to work it, she'll have to partner up with one of their own. 

Let you go.

Lorelei Hamilton finally gets the nerve to leave her abusive husband. Everything is well thought out. She’ll ditch her car, dump her cell phone, change her name and establish a new identity. But she hadn't planned on being abducted by a psychopath who makes her husband's violent outbursts look like child's play.

Now Will and Savannah are on the hunt for the most sadistic serial killer the South has ever seen. Can they catch him before he claims another victim?
