I am incredibly proud and pumped to
announce that the first two books in my brand-new series of scary kids’ books, Between
Dark and Light, are available now on Amazon. Plus, the first one is currently only 99 cents! Between Dark and Light is a series of nonconnected children’s
horror books featuring strange, eerie, supernatural events for kids 10 and
older. Although the books will appeal to fans of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps and
Max Brallier’s Last Kids on Earth, I personally like to think they can
be enjoyed by anyone (regardless of age) who likes short, spooky tales haha.
Below are the covers and back-cover summaries of the first two books:
The
Old Person Curse (Between Dark and Light #1)
12 years old one day, 80 the next…
Azie has no idea she and her family
just moved into a cursed Victorian house in small town upstate New York. Until
she learns about the Old Person Disease.
Apparently, all the kids who ever lived
in Azie’s new house over the past few generations died of a mysterious illness
nobody ever knew the source of or how to cure. The disease slowly made the
victims’ skin crinkle and hair gray out like an elderly person’s until they
died a few days later. And now the same thing’s happening to Azie! Can she and
her new friends find out what’s at the root of the bizarre illness and finally
stop it—before she and future generations meet the same untimely fate?
Available now on
Amazon.
The Horror at Grover Canyon State Park (Between Dark and Light #2)
Some canyons hold deep, dark secrets,
While on a family vacation at Grover Canyon State Park in
Colorado, thirteen-year-old Sandy and her younger brother Pete go off exploring
and accidentally access a laboratory hidden beneath the canyon. They spot an
overly waxy-looking corpse slouched at the reception desk and, freaked out,
immediately flee the lab. But that’s just the very beginning of the sheer
horror in store for them, their parents, and everyone else who happens to be at
Grover Canyon State Park that dark, fateful day.
Available now on Amazon.
About Between Dark and Light
These first two eerie tales were born during the covid-19
pandemic, and I have lots of ideas for future installments. The first one’s
around the length of a Goosebumps book, the second a bit longer, and
they’re likely to stay in that range in general. I’m hard at work on the third
book of the series, a ghost story called Uncle Jed’s Secret, and have
written much of an alien story called Why They Came and a
fantasy/psychological thriller called The Mire Witch, though we’ll see
how things pan out. Although the books are eerie and dark, there are also “lighter,”
more poignant moments; hence, the name Between Dark and Light. In any
case, while I’m hard at work on the next installments in the series…
