Katherine Stone’s Star Light, Star Bright has an isolated fantasy aspect and a psychological conflict involving a couple of…

A Season Of Miracles kept me up late to see what happened next, and how it all turned out. And isn’t that what a good book is supposed to do? Jillian Llewellyn is the favorite grandchild…

After Twilight is a paranormal anthology containing a trio of tormented, monster-like heroes.
