Riven City is still dangerous, but Halloween brings an opportunity for its citizens to enjoy a masquerade ball and have a little fun. Firefighter Knox King and his girlfriend, private investigator Molly Bradshaw, hope for a relaxing evening at the recently renovated Crown Hotel. But darkness has been creeping into the city, and on Halloween, the shadows will come alive. Knox and Molly will have to work together to survive All Hallows Eve.
L. M. Ransom lives in a place called Blooming Valley, located not too far off the shores of Lake Michigan. She is married to her best friend, and they have two adult children. She shares her home with an older black merle Jackshund, who always keeps things interesting. L. M. works at the library in her hometown, mostly behind the scenes in the back room. She would love to have a real-life AT-AT from Star Wars, but is settling for her collection of Walkers in her home office (for now). She enjoys watching TV and movies with her family. She adores The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn 99, and The Middle, and she absolutely loves writing young adult romance. You can find L. M. on Instagram, Threads, and X at @lmransomwrites.
