My newest book is out! Check out the details below:
Unknown Sender: A Horror Short Story
Jessica’s world revolves around studying at college and affording prepackaged meals, which leaves little time for socializing. In fact, she is quite content without being noticed, which only makes the attention of a mystery texter all the more unwanted.
She isn’t unfamiliar with strange advances, but this is something entirely different. This person knows things about her. Things beyond just an average stalker.
Even after all that, Jessica would be much more content to forget than discover who is chasing her, electronically or otherwise. Eventually, she finds out that she can’t outrun her past.
Genre: Horror
Length: Short Story – 7,870 words
Here’s where you can find it:
- Amazon: US / UK / CAN / AUS / DEU / FRA / IND
- Smashwords
- Barnes and Noble
- Walmart
- Apple/iBooks
- Kobo
- Thalia
- Or receive it free by being a member of AWP Writers Club
Here’s what people are saying about it:
“If you’re looking for a great short story where the ending isn’t exactly what you thought it would be, you’ve found it.” -Lisa T., Amazon review
“Let me preface my comment by divulging that I hold a master’s degree in criminology, have studied serial killers and have read a lot of true crime stories. This novelette was like a strong drink that creeps up on you. The suspense builds steadily and pulls you in.” -Amazon review
“…it genuinely kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to read more, which is perhaps the best compliment I can give to an author. For 99 cents it’s an absolute steal.” -Kdub’s Geekspot Reviews, Amazon review
For an outside snapshot, here are a few external reviews written by official book review bloggers:
Congrats on your big release!!
