Whispers in the Pines: A Different Kind of Story
The upcoming release of Whispers in the Pines on December 21 represents a change for the series. In the past, the early books focused on location as the main anchor point. Every story was tied to one area or region. This book is more character-driven and introduces us to the history of who Ölrún Karlsson is.

The Chupacabra Shrine
The Chupacabra Shrine began as a vision for my tombstone. A final monument that would honor both my written work and the mythology I've spent years building.
