This Halloween, I'm releasing MISSING, my dark YA psychological thriller.

There's something I want my readers to know.
My little sister has faced serious medical challenges, including a partial foot amputation and a bone infection that required further surgical care.
These challenges have brought difficult medical and recovery needs, and as her big sister, I want to do what I can to help.
That's why proceeds from MISSING will be dedicated to supporting her medical needs.

I can't make everything easier for her. But I can use something I love—writing—to try to make a difference.

Every book purchased helps support that effort.
Every share helps the story reach another reader.
And every bit of support means something to my little sister and me.

Every missing person leaves behind questions. This one leaves behind a livestream. When a teenage girl vanishes after a summer bonfire, Gretchen Langley is pulled into a hunt for someone who turns fear into entertainment. Every new broadcast brings another victim. Every clue leads nowhere. Unt...

Readers, I just dropped BORROWED BREATH: A VERY SHORT STORY to only 99¢, but you have to grab it while the deal is live!

Imagine finding out that you were murdered and somehow being given 24 hours to figure out who killed you. Now imagine discovering that while you're trying to solve your own murder, your daughter may still be in danger.
That's where Borrowed Breath takes you.
It's only 86 pages, so you can grab it, start reading tonight, and find out how it ends before you go to bed. If you love supernatural horror, murder, revenge, mystery, and mothers who will go through hell for their children, I think you're going to have fun with this one.

September 1 — ONLY 99¢
The price goes up to $1.99 on September 2 and returns to its regular $2.99 on September 3, so don't wait if you've been wanting to read it.

Grab BORROWED BREATH: A VERY SHORT STORY while it's only 99¢ and come back when you're finished because I want to know one thing:

Did you figure out who did it?

Lord, surely You have a place for me.

Surely You did not bring me this far, through everything I have survived, everything I have learned, and everything I have worked for, just to leave me standing here wondering where I belong.

Lord, please open the doors that are meant for me.

I am tired of trying to make myself smaller just so I can fit into places that were never big enough for what You put inside of me. I cannot change everything I am just to become what someone else needs me to be.

So, Lord, unleash me.

Put me where my mind has purpose. Put me where my education matters. Put me where my experiences can help somebody. Put me where my compassion, determination, curiosity, and hunger for truth are not considered too much, but exactly what was needed.

If there is a door I cannot see, show it to me.

If there is a person I need to meet, place them in my path.

If there is an opportunity with my name on it, Lord, lead me to it.

And if the answer is not where I have been looking, give me the courage to look somewhere new.

I do not need an easy road. I just need a road that leads somewhere.

I have come too far to believe that all of this was for nothing.

There has to be a place where everything I have lived through, everything I have studied, and everything I have become finally comes together and makes sense.

Lord, I am ready.

Open the door.

Give me the opportunity.

Unleash me.

And when that door finally opens, give me the courage to walk through it without looking back.

Amen.
