Coming October 25 - On the Edge of Nowhere

Hi all! I'm so excited to announce my next book is now available for pre-order. This is another dark fantasy verging on horror. Think Joe Hill's Locke & Key set in a Narnian hellscape, and you have On the Edge of Nowhere.

I guess it's fair to say I'm a bit obsessed with weird old houses. First, it was brooding Halfer Home in Children, now it's Hungry House, which sits on the edge of a town named Nowhere. It leads everywhere, however. Read on for the official blurb:

Those who step inside Hungry House never return. But when the abandoned house on the edge of town is ready to feed, it won’t be denied. 

Inquisitive Gina and her impulsive best friend Mattie know better than to enter the abandoned Victorian. The mansion on the edge of Nowhere, Georgia, has a reputation for ‘eating’ those who dare to step inside. Yet when another friend and her younger brother disappear after last being seen heading toward Hungry House, Gina and Mattie have no choice but to follow.

Inside, they find every door is a gateway to a new nightmare. Even death is no escape—it only sends the unlucky trespassers back to the start of Hungry House’s gauntlet. Their only hope is to survive long enough to confront the house’s mistress, an inhuman being whose lust for vengeance is as immortal as she.


Come back for WIP Wednesdays, when I'll be posting excerpts leading up to the ebook's release. Print is already up for sale, so you don't have to wait to join Gina and Mattie's struggle to overcome the house's maze of nightmares. Follow the links below and start the adventure.

WIP Wednesday - On the Edge of Nowhere: Fruit That Should be Forbidden

  Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics Eat or be eaten...which would you choose? * * * * Yes. Gina could run and take the fruit in her hands with her. Except now that she had it, she was seized by the urge to eat it immediately. A boy and the second teenage girl shifted. They put themselves between her and the door. “Don’t leave without a taste,” the teenager said. “You won’t believe how good it is,” the boy insisted. It was at Gina’s lips, the skin smooth. The sweet citrus aroma was thick in her nostrils. Her stomach spasmed, begging to be filled. “Gina—” Mattie started. Gina bit. A scream pierced her ears, and violent pain sliced through her head. Her teeth had closed on the fruit, and she ripped a piece out as she thrust it from herself. She noted several things at once. The warm, meaty taste that filled her mouth instead of the cool, juicy fruit she’d expected. The pink mass within pulsed. Thick red liquid gushed and poured from the fruit, more like blood than ju

  Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics Meet Gina and Mattie in our first excerpt. They've just received word their bestie Carrie and her little brother Braden might be in trouble. Lured by the forbidding manse on the edge of town, they're heading into danger. Can Gina and Mattie reach them before Hungry House feeds? * * * * Gina felt she was being chuted to the foreboding structure, with no ability to turn aside. Her obsession, and worry for her friends, spurred her on. She glanced at Mattie. Her friend’s expression was determined, and she ran faster. If Gina stopped, Mattie would keep going. “They wouldn’t have gone in. It’s locked tighter than a safe. The gate, the doors. The windows are boarded up.” Gina put on a burst of speed to keep up with her friend. “Your stories about it excited them. They’ll be at the gate, scaring each other about ghosts and goblins.” Mattie gusted a laugh that sounded suspiciously like a sob. Does she feel what I do…that we’re already to

My father-in-law passed a few days ago, then my uncle died a day later. I've had to do some traveling due to these sad events. All this while, I've been on a schedule to get things rolling promo- and marketing-wise because I have publishing news.  As you may be aware, my wonderful agent has been shopping my book Children of the Eighth Realm to publishers for some time. What an odyssey it’s been. We’ve submitted, consulted editors, and resubmitted. I’ve rewritten this novel for years , and after each rewrite, we submitted again.  For the most part, the feedback has been great. Really great. And yet…  Traditional publishing is heavy on the tradition, as in a book needs to fit in a neat compartment. I get it. It makes everyone’s job easier when it comes to marketing and selling. Taking a chance on something outs
