Today is release day for the second book in my Seam Stalker Series, Silencing The Seam! You can get your eBook copy by clicking on the retailer of your choice below. Also, the paperback version is available on Amazon.

Sixteen-year-old Sam Drake thought she’d left the horrors of spring break and Defiance Castle behind her. But back home, the spirits swirling around her are more demanding, more aggressive.
 
Fear of being institutionalized by her skeptical mother drives Sam to follow her dad to New Orleans. There she hopes to take back control of her life. But the French Quarter and the cities of the dead have other plans. Hour by hour they drain her, making it next to impossible to fight off a ghost who is determined to use her for its own revenge.
 
Ensnared in an ancient power struggle where Voodoo rituals, betrayal, and murder rule, Sam must determine who to trust. One step in the wrong direction will lock her inside the Seam to walk among the dead for eternity.

I am having a giveaway of an Authentic New Orleans Prize Pack! It includes a shirt, a masquerade mask, a Voodoo doll, Mardi Gras beads, and a gris-gris bag. I picked up all the pieces while I was in New Orleans researching this book. The giveaway is open to US residents only. Enter here:a Rafflecopter giveaway I hope you love Silencing The Seam!

The Colony, my YA post-apocalyptic sci-fi, is FREE in ebook on Amazon for just two days, October 12 & 13.

​Trust no one
Never go out in the dark
Always have a weapon
  Sixteen-year-old Val lives by these three rules etched on her arm. Her rules and her gun are the only things standing between her and assimilation by hordes of human-looking aliens she calls Raspers.
 
By day, Val gathers supplies. By night, she hides and wishes she could go back in time…before her family died…before the annihilation…before the Raspers began stalking her and demanding she join their collective.
 
But when the Raspers attack in broad daylight, the truth becomes startlingly clear.
 
They’re evolving.
 
A fellow survivor crashes into Val’s life. Adam’s full of charm and promises—like rumors of a safe haven—but there’s something wrong. He’s survived with no supplies, no weapons…no plans. Time is running out. With the formula for survival shifting around her, Val must decide how many rules she’s willing to break to escape the Colony.

The Shattered Seam is on a blog tour this week hosted by Xpresso Book Tours. Here's a list of the stops. I would love to see you there!

And, I'm giving away a Kindle Fire!
​a Rafflecopter giveaway

Today is the release date for The Shattered Seam!! It's the first book in my Seam Stalkers Series.
Spending spring break on an isolated island rumored to be haunted is not sixteen-year-old Sam’s idea of fun. Spending spring break with her uncle and his ghost-hunting film crew on an isolated island is even worse.
​
Way worse.
 
Her family’s secrets—and a genetic ability she can no longer deny—surface, along with the ghost of a rich serial killer who left behind a trail of trapped souls.
 
And he’s not through yet.
 
With only one chance for escape, Sam must embrace her family’s curse and close the Seam between the living and the dead. Or be lost, forever.

​ You can get your ebook at your favorite online retailer and the paperback is available on Amazon. Just click the retailer of your choice.
​ I hope you love this book as much as I loved writing it.
