I'm hard at work on The Devil's Shadow still, hoping to wrap up in the next couple of weeks, but definitely before the end of the end of the month. Then I can get started on The Devil's Due. After that, I might take break from series writing and just work on a one off. I have ideas for two nagging at the back of my brain, and as much as I've enjoyed working on The Devil's Eye books. I'm looking forward to working on something different.
Today, The Witch's Stone is free on Amazon. So head on over and get yourself a copy.
The last thing Caid needs is a decrepit manor house to remind him of his estranged family, but he does need the money selling the house would bring to pay off his debts. When haunted, down-on-her-luck Hillary offers to pay him to stay at Glendon House and view his great grandfather's journals, he sees a way out of his mess
But Glendon House harbors a sinister secret behind its great stone walls. And a killer will stop at nothing to keep it.
The Witch's Stone - Excerpt

A flash in the gloom caught her eye and she stopped walking. A small light, there for an instant, then it was gone.
What the hell?
Another flash, this one a little left of the first. She narrowed her gaze. A round yellow glow shone through the trees like the beam from a flashlight.
Was there someone else in the woods?
The light disappeared.
Her heart rate kicked up and a shivery cold, slick and horribly familiar, settled over her. She struggled to pull herself together. So what if she wasn’t alone? Surely, other people walked in this forest. But rational thinking did little to calm the swell of panic expanding inside her chest.
The light returned, closer this time. There had to be someone out there, coming toward her, but she couldn’t see anyone.
“Hello?” she called out.
No answer, and the light vanished again.
Hillary turned to start back to the inn, but froze. Another light had appeared directly behind her, so close she had to squint against the brightness. She peered into the forest murk, but couldn’t see anyone past the bright yellow glow.
