"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." -- William Shakespeare Drowning in a sea of despair and fear, young Abbey struggles through her childhood alone and afraid. She lives on an isolated acreage with a cold and abusive family, spending her time afraid and miserable in her solitude. But is she truly alone? Abbey's brother has convinced her that there is a witch living in their basement. Everyone knows it's just a wicked story told for the sake of torment, but Abbey can't help wondering if there really is something horrible and terrifying lurking beneath the stairs, watching, waiting... CRONE is a tale of a witch that hides in the dark corners of the mind and deep in the shadows of life. It is a tumultuous journey filled with pain and joy, blood and smiles, suffering and relief, monsters and magic. Come along with Abbey as she escapes her childhood and is thrust into adulthood, followed by the ghosts of her past, and a fairytale that couldn't possibly be real. Could it?

What happens when we die? Where do we go? What becomes of our meat, our mind, our soul? And what happens if we get stuck somewhere in between, tangled in the thin veil between life and the afterlife?Fort Ramnon is a place for those not quite alive and not quite dead. A holding place for impossible creatures, wayward human souls, and dark things that belong nowhere else. Tales From Ramnon is a collection of four folk horror stories, each set in a unique culture, with a different folk creature, and a devastating social issue. Within these pages, you will experience the dark world of suicide, domestic abuse, addiction, and childhood illness. You will also hear the whoosh of feathers slicing the wind, the crash of antlers in the forest, the keening of sorrow, and the ravenous slurping of hunger. Welcome to Ramnon.

Death is welcome here… Come peruse the beasts within. This collection is filled with short stories and flash fiction that is gouged by talons, covered in feathers, slick with scales, coiled in tentacles, stripped of flesh, and even tainted by the beasts we call human. You'll find cancer treatments gone horribly awry, a homeless child who hides more than her face behind her scraggly hair, an old western villain who isn't quite what she seems, and a pair of women who learn to spread their wings and fly. You'll find beasts you couldn't conjure in your worst nightmares in places you never would have imagined they'd hide. So peek inside that dark room, take that walk through the woods, creep down that alley, stroll on that dark beach, and come face-to-face with beasts as beautiful as they are horrible.

People are disappearing in the small community of Picton. It's not big news in the city where Freya lives, but when she stumbles across the story in her local newspaper, whispers from her guilt-ridden childhood call her back to the life she thought she'd escaped decades ago. Answering the summons of her own murky history, Freya journeys home to reunite with her long-lost best friend and her one remaining family member at the farm she once ran away from in the middle of the night. As soon as she arrives, she finds both twisted memories and fresh horrors waiting for her: killers, ghosts, and something dark that waits at the edge of the woods, hungry for blood and suffering. Freya must decide if she's willing to face the demons of her past and her present-and if she's prepared for the cost of fighting.
