Deeds of Darkness

    This is another spooky tale and it happens around Halloween, so perfect to read right now. It's only available in Kindle.   http://www.amazon.com/Deeds-of-Darkness-ebook/dp/B00EA1STB2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1382971016&sr=1-1&keywords=Deeds+of+Darkness+by+Marilyn+Meredith     When good and evil collide in the small town of Yokut Springs, Madeline Mahoney is forced to put her friendship and religious beliefs to the ultimate test. The story unravels when Madeline finds out that her best friend's mother, Dian Reddick, is the High Priestess to a coven of witches. Madeline, being very active in the Christian community, finds the mere thought of witches ridiculous and refuses to believe such utter nonsense. But after watching one of the witches meetings and witnessing the initiation of their final member, she can't help but have doubts.

Cup of Demons

This is another Christian horror--published long ago but never available on Kindle or some of the new e-publishing formats. Book Blurb: Is the inheritance Maginel received from her great Aunt Magda a gift or a curse? Haunted by ancestral ghosts, plagued by demonic creatures, Maginel flees from her home. Upon her return as an adult, Maginel seeks to remove the barrier that prevents her from marrying the man she loves, she enters into a life and death battle for her soul. I've always loved good horror novels that are really scary--but never read any with a Christian element that wasn't Catholic. That's when I decided to write one. Ended up writing three, and this is one of them. I do hope some of you will try it out--this is the best time of year to read scary.   http://www.amazon.com/Cup-of-Demons-ebook/dp/B00EREHPV2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377957160&sr=8-2&keywords=Cup+of+Demons Reviews: Maginel had no idea the house she grew up

Wishing Makes it So

In the spirit of the season, I'm going to tell you about my three horror novels. The first is Wishing Makes It So , a psychological horror novel about a very bad little girl.“When really, really bad things happen to good people.” In an effort to make a change in a child's life, Alyse and Steven take in a four-year-old who has been thrown out of several homes prior to theirs. Because of their successful parenting of three children of their own and Steven's career as a counselor, they feel sure they can help Belinda and give her a loving home. However Belinda quickly proves to be a great challenge. She is often disobedient and trouble making, hurting the other children and vandalizing their possessions. At times she seems sweet and innocent, easily charming the unwary. Her desire to be the only child takes a deadly turn. This book is available in trade paperback and for Kindle as well as other formats. http://www.amazon.com/Wishing-Makes-So-Marilyn-Meredith/dp/07599

Devil's Foothold, Christian Horror

Image
In the spirit of the season, I'm letting you know about the books I've written in the horror genre. This is another one that started out as a Deputy Tempe Crabtree novel--but veered off on it's own and turned out to be more of a Christian horror than a mystery. http://www.amazon.com/The-Devils-Foothold-ebook/dp/B009R7DZ1S/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1377973964&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Devil%27s+Foothold Resident Deputy Jessica McGuire’s day starts much the same as usual, but when she jogs by the old family cemetery she discovers the grave of a baby had been dug up and the skeleton missing. It wasn’t much later when Pastor David Tanner reports the theft of a hand-carved redwood cross from his church. Next a baby goat is reported stolen and one of the pastor’s cows discovered mutilated in the field. Jessica and Pastor David team up to investigate these strange occurrences. He is convinced Satan worshiping is going on in their town. Jessica isn’t

All Hallows' Evil

All Hallows' Evil is the second anthology published by Mystery and Horror, LLC. If you've never heard of us, you're not out of the loop. In fact, we are surprised when anyone has heard our micro press. We are new and define the word “tiny.” Out entire organization is me and my partner, Sarah Glenn. We didn't even set up our LLC (Limited Liability Company) with thoughts of publishing books. We were authors. I write historical mystery and occasionally will do a horror story. Sarah's work is harder to define. Her first novel was a quirky family saga about a lesbian vampire that moved into a gated community. Most of her short stories are mysteries, often weird ones, but mysteries. We were a couple of writers, with the same publisher, who often traveled to the same conventions, stayed in the same room and generally shared expenses. We needed a business structure because sorting it all out at tax time was a nightmare worthy of a horror novel. When our
