Book excerpt: A GIRL EASILY carried off by the wind. An elderly widow whose husband died under strange circumstances. An isolated dwelling that breeds fear. Miranda has no recollection of where she came from—only that years ago, a gust of wind deposited her outside Bourne Manor. The Manor’s sole inhabitant, Wysteria Barrows, took Miranda in and promptly outfitted her with special boots—boots weighted with steel bars to keep her anchored to the ground. But aside from shelter and clothing, Miranda receives little warmth from the aging widow. The Manor, too, is a cold place, full of drafts and locked doors. Full of menace. Full of secrets. Then one day a boy named Farley appears. Farley helps Miranda embrace her destiny with the wind . . . and uncover the Manor’s hidden past.

Book excerpt: Audra Kingsley, a wealthy heiress, may not have seen much of the world, but she knows exactly how she wants her future to play out - and a coming out ball held at her country estate, Kingsley Manor, would suit her just fine. Her father’s wish that she be presented at St. James in London seems silly since she is to marry her neighbor and childhood sweetheart, Lord Crispin Brighton, but she obliges him. Audra travels to London with her patroness, the eccentric Lady Sutherland, intending to return home as soon as she has curtseyed to the Queen. Unknown to her, Lady Sutherland is in no rush to leave London before the Season is over and intends to show Audra she has more options in the suitor department than Lord Crispin, a second son. Audra finds herself surrounded by few friends and is forced to attend parties, balls, and operas - all while becoming the object of a secret admirer’s obsession. As Audra struggles to make her way home to her beloved, plans to compromise her into an unwanted marriage are underway. Sensuality Level: Behind Closed Doors

Book excerpt: A Shamus Award Finalist and Named Best Mystery in the Next Generation Book Awards A body in a rundown Opera House. A missing manuscript. A dark family secret. Still suffering nightmares from a case that ended tragically, brilliant freelance crime consultant Scott Drayco considers retiring from crime solving altogether. When a former client bequeaths Drayco a rundown Opera House in a Virginia seaside town, he figures he'll arrange for a quick sale of the place while nursing his battered soul in a peaceful setting near the shore. What he doesn't count on is finding a dead body on the Opera House stage with a mysterious "G" carved into the man's chest. With hopes for a quick sale dashed and himself a suspect in the murder, Drayco digs into very old and very dangerous secrets to solve the crime and clear his name. Along the way, Drayco must dodge a wary sheriff, hostility over coastal development, and the seductive wife of a town councilman - before the tensions explode into more violence and he becomes the next victim. Praise for BV Lawson's Scott Drayco Mystery/Thriller Series: "Worth putting on your reading list." - The Library Journal "Lawson's protagonist is greatly compelling." - Publishers Weekly Booklife Prize "Lawson uses the gothic features of the abandoned Opera House to great effect, creating an atmospheric background for the crimes and the solving of them, all of it accompanied with music that's almost like another character. The pace never sagged and it kept me enthralled." - Long and Short Reviews "Lawson's book was so good, I read it twice from beginning to end...The citizens of Cape Unity are as diverse and multi-layered as any person living in the large cities, and Lawson portrayed them splendidly." - Reader's Favorite Reviews "The storyline here is nicely structured, and creatively ties together two murder mysteries, which occurred decades apart. The small town setting is ideal, the lead character engaging, and the supporting cast interesting and diverse. Overall, a solid start to this series." - Omnimystery News "A nice tight mystery in a realistic setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bats, often misunderstood and unfairly burdened with associations of darkness and malevolence, have long been intertwined with folklore, mythology, and the realms of the supernatural. Their nocturnal flights and cryptic behaviors have fueled the human imagination, giving rise to legends that transcend cultures and civilizations. In this collection, we embark on a journey through the haunted dimensions where bats become conduits for curses, ancient pacts, and spectral entities that manifest in chilling tales of horror. There's a peculiar allure to darkness—a fascination that borders on the unknown and the forbidden. Bats, with their silent flights and haunting cries, have become symbolic emissaries of the night. As we delve into these horror stories, we invite you to suspend disbelief and embrace the sinister beauty that dwells within the shadows. The genesis of this anthology lies in the exploration of the primal fears that echo through generations. Bats, with their associations with vampires, witches, and supernatural omens, have been both feared and revered throughout history. As we curated these tales, we aimed not only to elicit shivers down the spine but also to unravel the rich tapestry of human imagination and the primal instincts that respond to the unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last thing he needed was to inherit a rundown opera house. And now, he’s just found a body inside. Scott Drayco isn’t a typical private detective: a former concert pianist with the rare condition of synesthesia—where he "sees" sounds as colors, shapes, and textures—he turned to a career in law enforcement after a violent attack put an end to his music dreams. When Drayco inherits a rundown Opera House in a Virginia seaside town following a particularly brutal case, he just wants to arrange a quick sale for the unwanted “gift” while nursing his battered soul in a peaceful setting near the shore. Those hopes are shattered when a dead body turns up on the Opera House stage, a mysterious “G” carved into the man’s chest. With himself a suspect in the murder, Drayco is forced to dig into very old, and very dangerous, secrets to clear his name. Standing in his way are a wary sheriff, hostility over coastal development, and the seductive wife of a town councilman. But as Drayco digs deeper, it becomes increasingly apparent he's running out of time to solve the unusually twisty mystery before tensions explode into more violence and he becomes the next victim.
