Our Writers:
~ Carol J. Rhodes' first book, Rough Around the Edges will be published in June 2018.
"Rough Around the Edges is a collection of short stories which pertain to mayhem, crime, dysfunction, and violence. Of particular note is the jarring preciseness with which each story draws you in, stirs you up, and dumps you out at the end of your rope."
~ Yawatta Hosby's horror/crime novella, Six Plus One was published prior to Thanksgiving. It is a sequel to One by One, and it is available through Amazon.
"One by One ended with Detective Brown disgusted and traumatized over the crime scene in the woods. He wants to find justice for those poor victims and vows to keep his daughter safe from the horrors of the world.
"Sequel time—[in] Six Plus One, Detective Brown can’t keep that promise. Alta and her group of friends leave Voy on a road trip to Green Bank, West Virginia. They’re filming footage for their alien-centric web series. What should be a get-in and get-out situation for the weekend turns into a deadly nightmare..."
