THE RAVINE

Out now from DARK REGIONS PRESS in ebook, paperback and signed limited edition hardcovers. 

Cavalry officer Stephens wants to keep his troopers safe, but when he is pulled into the oldest conflict of them all, he must choose - to serve, or to die. 

Saloon-hand Jacob wants to live a quiet life, play his fiddle, and sink a few beers. But something has come to his town-something old, hungry, and far from quiet. 

Farmer Joe Clancy wants to keep his herd alive long enough to be able to sell them and save his farm. But first, he has to save his family, as death stalks the corrals. 

To fight the growing menace, the three men must confront their inner demons and an all too real evil, one that threatens the lives of everyone it touches. 

...a cracking tale of adventure and horror with some brilliantly effective set-pieces. - Dark Musings

Chosen (Leaving Bennet Behind, #1)Chosen by Sarah Johnson

Chosen, the first volume of Leaving Bennet Behind is a Pride and Prejudice variation telling the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy.
What if Mr Bennet was involved in an accident several years prior to the start of the story, which changed his attitude as a father from the indolent man he was to one that protected his daughters and wife.
With the meeting of Darcy and Elizabeth before the Merton Assembly how does this effect their futures. This is the tale of those few months after the assembly.
