Shadows of Fog
Published June 2023
Knee-deep in grief, debating her future, and thinking about making a huge life change, Emma Campbell comes face to face with a ghost from her grandmother Nellie’s past. A ghost that leads her to the seaside town of Digby, Nova Scotia. A place where family secrets are buried and the answers to her questions only seem to lead down ever-darkening paths.
Who is the ghost haunting her?
When Emma learns a startling secret, she’s led to believe the ghost is someone closer than she could have imagined, yet someone she never knew existed. Her grandmother’s death and this strange otherworldly visitor are no coincidence, but the identity of the ghost remains a secret…
It’ll take all of Emma’s wits to uncover the truth. And what she learns will devastate her family, rock the town, risk her life and others, and force Emma to come face to face with her family’s darkest chapter. Some grudges are never let go, some actions are unforgivable, and time doesn’t heal all wounds.
Some people will kill to keep their secrets…

Her Silent Reckoning
Published November 2025
Some truths refuse to stay buried. Some debts demand a reckoning.
Detective Adrian Sawyer thought the case was an open-and-shut: a young woman dead on a frozen trail, her loyal dog waiting by her side. A slip, a fall, a tragedy. Nothing more than an accident…until they pulled her from the water. And everything changed.
A cryptic social media post later that night about the victim ignites a firestorm— and suddenly the quiet streets of Columbia, Missouri are drowning in suspicion.
What seemed like a simple mishap unravels into something far more sinister: poisoned clues hidden in plain sight, whispers of an old secret someone will kill to protect, and a grieving husband whose sorrow may not be what it seems. With the online true-crime community circling like vultures, Sawyer finds himself caught between public outrage and the chilling reality behind the evidence.
As the investigation twists through icy lies and buried betrayals, Adrian must decide whether justice means exposing the truth—or avenging the past. Because when the killer finally steps from the shadows, their reckoning will be silent, brutal, and far more personal than Sawyer ever imagined.
