WHERE THE
SHADOWS
CHOOSE
LIGHT.
HOLIDAY SPECTACULARS Series | Book 1
Christmas comes strangely to San Francisco.
Beneath the city’s holiday lights, old magic stirs. Ghosts walk familiar streets. Strangers become companions for a single unforgettable night.
But in the city beneath the city, winter has teeth.
As Christmas approaches, Lena Alan and Jesper MacMillian are pulled into a season of strange celebrations and dangerous visitations: a ghostly encounter from Christmas past, a gathering steeped in old magic, a deadly ride through the sleeping city, and the return of a terror older than memory itself.
Somewhere beyond the lights and fog, the Wild Hunt has begun to ride.
And this year, San Francisco lies directly in its path.
THE HUNT BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a haunting holiday ghost story about memory, sacrifice, and the fragile light people carry into the dark.
HOLIDAY SPECTACULARS Series | Book 2
There are stories people only tell during the longest nights of the year.
Stories about things that walk abroad at Christmas. About bells ringing across black water. About children taken into the dark.
Most people no longer believe them.
Until the disappearances begin.
When children from San Francisco’s Roma community begin to vanish, Jesper MacMillian is drawn into a deadly mystery steeped in old fears and older traditions. As Rom Baro, it’s his duty to stand between his people and the season’s darkest horrors. To do so, he must gather allies from every corner of the city: friends, enemies, and powers better left undisturbed.
Some nights change a city forever.
And some Christmas stories end in darkness.
HELL’S BELLS is a dark holiday tale of forgotten folklore, haunted cities, and the things that answer when the bells begin to ring.
HOLIDAY SPECTACULARS Series | Book 3
On certain winter nights, the roads belong to the dead.
To riders glimpsed in rearview mirrors.
To ghosts pacing the fog beyond the headlights.
To ancient things hunting beneath the cold December moon.
Most people drive on without noticing…until something goes wrong.
When the Storm King’s ride disappears days before the Wild Hunt, psychic medium Lena Alan and private detective Jesper MacMillian are dragged into a desperate search through the streets of San Francisco. If the Hunt cannot ride before the old year ends, something ancient and hungry will be left loose in the city.
Lena and MacMillian must outrun ghosts, bargain with dangerous powers, and recover the King’s ride before the old year dies screaming.
Some roads should never be traveled in the dark.
And some engines should never be started after midnight.
A HOLLY JOLLY JOYRIDE is a dark Yuletide tale of cursed roads, winter folklore, and the things waiting just past the headlights.
