Coming soon from Timber Ghost Press: get ready for MOUSE TRAP!

GUESS WHAT!! (Okay, pretend you didn’t just read the blog title and guess anyway.) YES! You got it! I’ve signed with Timber Ghost Press to publish my new supernatural horror novella, Mouse Trap!

Terrifying as this book is, it’s not about those horrific spring-loaded traps. Remember this?

Twenty years ago, Dakota Scott’s baby brother died in a tragic accident after weeks spent obsessing over the “Whisper Lady” he claimed he saw in the back yard. After Kai’s death, the Whisper Lady haunted Dakota’s nightmares until her older brother Lennox proved ghosts don’t exist. But now Lennox is gone, and a dark presence is taking over the Scott family home once more….

Mouse Trap is coming 2023 from Timber Ghost Press, who published my absolute favorite book of 2021, the aptly titled 21 Grams by M. Regan. (Seriously, if you haven’t read it yet, drop everything and go get it. It’s a unique brand of literary horror that blends Shirley Jackson’s beautiful gothic language with a philosophical exploration of death and the meaning of the soul. No jump scares, no gore, no slashers, nothing extreme — just an absolutely gorgeous book I think everyone should read.)

I’m so thrilled to get to join the Timber Ghost family and work with them to bring you this slow-burn, dreadful tale of the power of grief. Be sure to subscribe to Timber Ghost Press’s newsletter, The Creepy Bugle, for news about Mouse Trap and their other upcoming releases, plus free flash fiction!
