Hey there!

Today, I woke up to that classic Pacific Northwest fall morning—fog clinging to the trees, leaves crisp on the ground, the air deliciously cool. It’s the kind of misty, liminal weather that makes you want to pull on your favorite sweater… and cozy up with a spooky book.

Which is exactly the mood of my thriller, From Earth and Bone.

Set in Seattle’s rain-glossed streets and mossy cemeteries, it follows Patricia Ramos-Waites—a mother of three who just wants to keep her family safe—until a late-night resurrection goes sideways and she ends up possessed by the ghost of her sister’s dead lover. Patricia suddenly finds herself dodging a drug-smuggling crew, unraveling old secrets, and discovering ghost-handling abilities that haven’t been seen in centuries.

If you like atmospheric, slip-between-worlds thrillers with sisterhood, grit, and plenty of eerie heart, this one’s for you.

What readers are saying

I loved the combination of sisterly drama and supernatural suspense, and practically read it in one sitting. One of my favorite books of the year.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The writing is fast-paced and well-written with no fluff. Definitely worth reading!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such an excellent book! ....action, suspense, tough relationships..... The author sweeps you into the gripping plot from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the very end.

Curl up with a mug of something warm, let the rain tap the windows, and come spend a few hours with the Ramos sisters. October is the perfect time.

You find the book at all the usual suspects (universal book link!)—but you can also buy the ebook and signed print books directly from me.
