Dark Ugly Places

Some wounds don’t heal. They fester. They whisper. They take over.

In Dark Ugly Places, trauma isn’t something you survive—it’s something that survives you.

Thirty-four-year-old Nicola Holiday appears to have everything: a loving husband, a bright teenage daughter, and a carefully curated life in Los Angeles. Then, in a split second of screeching tires and shattered glass, it all disappears. A hit-and-run leaves her husband dead, her body broken, and her fourteen-year-old daughter, Emmy, forever changed. With no one held accountable, Nicola spirals—drowning in grief, panic attacks, financial ruin, and a hereditary darkness she’s spent her life trying to outrun.

That darkness has a voice now.
 Her name is Martha.

Martha doesn’t believe in therapy, forgiveness, or moving on. She believes in revenege. And she’s willing to do what Nicola can’t.

As Nicola’s panic attacks intensify and her grip on reality loosens, Martha begins to take shape—slipping seamlessly into another life entirely. One filled with wealth, glamour, and moral rot. When she crosses paths with Bambi Redfern, the intoxicating wife of movie star Jason Redfern, Nicola’s suspicions ignite. Was Jason the man behind the wheel that day? Or is the truth far more disturbing than guilt or innocence?

Pulled between vengeance and annihilation, Nicola and Martha collide in a dangerous psychological dance where identity fractures, boundaries dissolve, and control becomes a deadly prize.

Dark, provocative, and deeply unsettling, Dark Ugly Places is a haunting domestic suspense novel about female rage, obsession, and the terrifying lengths the mind will go to make sense of unbearable pain.

Because sometimes the most dangerous place isn’t the past—it’s inside your own head.

Coming Fall 2026

The Girl That Jack Killed

In the house of Green, nothing stays buried for long.

When Violet Green leaves America with her ailing husband, Harold, she hopes the move to his ancestral estate in Surrey will offer the peace and healing they’ve both been denied. Instead, the sprawling estate is alive with secrets. Harold’s illness deepens even as his temper sharpens, and Violet finds herself trapped in a house steeped in unease. Its beauty is overshadowed by secrets the locals refuse to speak of and the dangerous traditions the Green family refuses to abandon.

Then there’s Jack — Harold’s younger brother — brooding, magnetic, and far too familiar with the darkness that clings to Green family history. Violet knows she should keep her distance, yet she finds herself drawn to him in ways she cannot explain.

As the family prepares for its grand summer gala, long-buried secrets begin to surface: whispers of a girl who disappeared, a ritual that never truly ended, and a legacy that will not stay buried.

The Girl That Jack Killed is a haunting gothic tale of desire, deception, and the dangerous inheritance of love, loss, and guilt.
