The Flowers at Flood House

Introducing my next novella.

I’m so very excited to introduce my next novella, The Flowers at Flood House. It’s a story I rewrote three times before settling on the version you’ll soon be able to read. It felt more personal than others, so I wanted to get it right.

Here’s the blurb:

Flood House was meant to be a fresh start. A quiet escape in Stillwater where Seth Dorsey could care for his mother, caught in dementia’s grip.

But when Seth wakes up to dried flowers he didn’t hang in his basement and starts noticing unsettling changes in and around the house, he’s forced to ask whether the unexplainable is real, or something more sinister is at work.

The Flowers at Flood House is a horror novella that offers a new twist on the haunted house. An unsettling tale that takes readers on a dark and supernatural descent into loss, grief, and coming face-to-face with the memories that haunt us.

And here’s the cover, 100% human-made by the talented Matt Seff Barnes:

I’m planning to release it on July 31. ARC sign-up details and more about the story will be coming your way very soon. I can’t wait for you to read it.
