When at Last I Find You

by Aaron Gudmunson

(Release date – 5/7/2024)

When family man Paul Jeske discovers an envelope in his mailbox addressed to one Lucine Korth, curiosity drives him to investigate this unique name. His research turns up images of an intensely attractive woman who lives only blocks from his home. As Paul delves further into this emergent fixation, blurring lines both legal and moral, his professional and family life suffer. Soon this game of cat-and-mouse progresses into perpetually-more perilous territory and Paul learns an astonishing truth about Lucine Korth…and that things are rarely ever as they appear.

At once an examination of obsession in the digital age and the fragile nuances of modern family dynamics, When at Last I Find You asks how far would you go to obtain the unobtainable? What would you risk to satisfy your curiosity? And are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice—family, career, sanity, and soul—to say you succeeded?

Missed Connection

by Michael Laimo

(Release date – 5/21/2024)

New York City Fashion Executive Peter Delmonico has had a rough life. Physically abused by his father as a child, and mentally abused by his wife as an adult, he sees no choice but to let his inner demons guide him through life. Obsessed with photography for as long as he can remember, he takes a detour one afternoon into NYC’s Bryant Park, where he snaps a photo of a beautiful woman who bumps into him, and then kisses him, only to vanish into the crowd as mysteriously as she appeared. Determined to bring true love into his life, Peter sets out on a journey throughout Manhattan to find her, his only real lead the photo he took of her in his camera.

Missed Connection is an intense erotic thriller filled with twists and turns, a raunchy, funny, sexy, satirical, and somewhat diabolical look at life in Manhattan through the eyes of a damaged man who only wants to love, and be loved.

“This taut page-turner has a harrowing premise, breakneck first-person narrative, and one hell of a final twist. Thriller Fans: don’t miss MISSED CONNECTION!” — New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub

“Sleek as a bullet and just as deadly, Michael Laimo is in top form. MISSED CONNECTION is not to be missed!” —Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me and Black Mouth

Justice: A Hollywood Homicide

by J. Grant Boyd

(Release date – 6/25/2024)

Alyce Justice was beautiful. She was not yet thirty, and less than twenty-four hours earlier, with millions watching, she’d held up her Oscar for Best Actress. Now the police announced she’s dead, brutally murdered at the Palisades Estates.

Detective Lucas Horne is on the case, and it should have been a simple one. Justice died shortly after a party held at the Estates. The only attendees were the eleven residents, and only one of them had a motive for murder. Her estranged husband, Brandon Bradford, an immensely popular actor known as much for his temper as for his movies. His anger at her affair with her director, Richard Gold, had been splashed all over social media for months. Just one problem. Bradford had been passed out during the party and was sleeping it off at another house. His alibi was airtight. There were witnesses.

It’s up to Lucas Horne to unravel the mystery and bring a dead woman justice, but if Bradford was the killer, how could he have been in two places at the same time?

The answer is both elusive and deadly.

Close Enough for Murder

Carroll Dressler was a dreary man with a dreary life and a wife who could nag off his ears. He didn’t think things could get any worse. He was wrong. One night, en route from his girlfriend to his wife, a chance stop at a closed gas station threw Carroll into the path of a serial killer. Aptly named The Beast, this psychopath was known for mutilating his victims, all of whom were women. Now, The Beast is on Carroll’s trail, determined to eliminate the only witness who could possibly ID him.

When Carroll hits on the idea that he could use The Beast to solve all his problems, he begins a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Can Carroll use this brutal killer to his advantage? Will he become the next victim? Will the relentless detective catch up to them both and put a stop to it all? If Carroll wants to come out on top, he’ll have to be very cunning. And very creative. But most of all, he’ll have to be very lucky.

The Upwelling

by F. Paul Wilson

(Release date – 7/9/2024)

“Oh, Mrs. Sirman, there’s a problem with your husband’s cremation.”
“What sort of problem?”
“It’s his body.”
“What about it?”
“It won’t burn.”

And so it begins for Pam Sirman…the first step toward learning that everything she thought she knew about her husband is wrong, perhaps even his humanity. But if he’s not human, what is he?

Pam is one of three lives that will be drawn together by the apocalypse of the Upwelling.

The other two are Chan and Danni, but their worlds are already in chaos. A few weeks ago a fierce storm accompanied by an upwelling from the Atlantic abyssal plain tore into Atlantic City. When it receded, the city and its 25,000 inhabitants were gone without a trace. Chan and Danni remember being in the city that day, but the ten hours during which the Upwelling occurred have been wiped from their memories.

They want those memories back. Or do they? Did they witness something so unspeakably ghastly that their minds can’t face it? Or worse: Was that ghastly thing something they did? And worst yet: Were they responsible for the Upwelling?

On the way home from a gig with his band, Derek Boone dies. Then, miraculously, doctors manage to revive him, using new cutting-edge technology. He’s alive, but in a coma.

Months later Boone wakes into a world of blurred visions and danger. The memories of that accident are incomplete. He experiences them in strange flashbacks he calls “bruised memories.” And he’s not the only one. A deranged cult made up of men and women who’ve had near death experiences begins to harass him, wanting to know what he experienced, and a dangerous agent from a religious organization wants him to tell his story… if that story is the one the church needs. Otherwise, they want him dead.

Finally, while on a talk show with others who have had similar experiences, a gunman opens fire on the entire panel. Escaping with his life, Boone is on the run from New Jersey to the Adirondack mountains, desperately seeking his own truth, even if it leads him into the hands of an enemy.

His experience could change everything and leave the world’s religions in shambles.

If he remembers…
