Book Description
A modern-day writer and a Harlem Renaissance artist are connected by a painting with a deadly secret in this gripping dual-timeline gothic thriller. Shanice Pierce knows better than to heed bad omens. But she has a hard time ignoring the signs when she finds herself newly single and out of a job on the same seemingly cursed day. Then, while cleaning out her grandmother’s house, Shanice comes across a painting she hasn’t seen in years. Drawn to the haunting portrait in a way she can't explain, Shanice accepts her grandmother’s offer to keep the family heirloom. She soon uncovers the story of the artist, a Harlem Renaissance painter named Estelle Johnson. The young woman was taken under wing by the wealthy art patron Maude Bachmann—or “Godmother” as she insisted her artists call her—and vanished shortly after Bachmann’s brutal murder a century ago. As Shanice digs deeper, a paranoia that’s haunted her for years returns. She becomes convinced she’s being stalked, and that the deaths happening around her are connected to the staggering offer she turned down for the painting. But the truth hiding in plain sight is even more shocking—and deadly—than Shanice could possibly have imagined . . .

Book Description
From the bestselling author of the Bone Collector novels, soon to be an NBC series Rune is an aspiring filmmaker with more ambition than political savvy, paying her dues as an assistant cameraperson for the local news. But she's got her eyes on the prize, the network's hot newsmagazine, Current Events—and she's got the story she knows will get her there. Poking around in the video archives, Rune spots a taped interview with Randy Boggs, who's doing hard time in Attica for a murder he claims he didn't commit. Rune can't say exactly why, but she's sure he's innocent. If she can prove it, Current Events won't merely report the news, it'll make news—and Rune's career. But what she could be writing is Randy Boggs's epitaph—and her own. Rune's newly discovered witness soon turns up dead. A hit man from Miami is on Rune's trail, and Boggs is finding prison even more dangerous than before. Someone wants this story killed, and it could be the girl with the camera who ends up on the cutting room floor.

As featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show There’s something magical about Yarrow, Kentucky.

As events from that fateful summer start to come to light, there must be a reckoning between the rival Haywood and Bonner families. But untangling the deep roots of this town’s terrible secrets will expose more than they could ever imagine about love, treachery, and the true nature of their power.

Book Description
Following the bloodbath that ended his life on Earth and cost him the people he loved, Shadow is on a mission to destroy Daniel Penhallow’s criminal empire. After months of struggling to get inside it, an unexpected ally suggests a simpler plan: Shadow must tell the world the truth about who he is, and admit he’s killed to keep it secret. When the truth shakes the world to its core, powerful Seekers on Earth and Carnathia all want a piece of the action. Things are already heating up in the Outland civil war, and Shadow’s revelations could make or break the peace negotiations. Especially as his new ally is Dakota Silverwood - the youngest Seeker in history, whose ambitions to outsmart his elders all require daring stealth missions that most would consider impossible. With Shadow destined for prison after his confessions, Dakota takes the reins of the mission to restore the Lockyer family to their former power and crush the corrupt members of the Seeker’s Council. Lies, murder, extortion, nothing is off limits to the enemies Dakota and Shadow are about to make. Deep inside the Outland underworld lurks a shapeshifting fugitive and his human soulmate, whose services Dakota must seek out if he’s to get what’s needed for the Lockyer family, and have any hope of defeating Daniel’s empire. If they can’t pull of a virtually impossible mission to the planet Nastrophen together, history could repeat itself for all the wrong reasons. Not to mention that the most powerful Seeker on Earth, Kester Offren, would like nothing better than to watch everyone destroy each other, then clean up the mess with a new society, where the likes of Shadow, Dakota and their allies would not be welcome...
