Cover Reveal: Penance
And pre-order
Penance
I’m excited to share the cover for my forthcoming crime/thriller novella, Penance. This is the first book in the Xander Walsh series and will be released on August 18, 2025. The book is currently available for pre-order.
Blurb
When a series of high-profile murders rocks the city of Birchwood, Detectives Xander Walsh and Damon Schaeffer are called in to unravel a chilling mystery. Each crime scene is marked by a haunting signature—a poem, hinting at the killer’s motivations.
Detective Walsh, a fierce investigator with a reputation for solving the unsolvable, must dive into a dark labyrinth of clues that blur the line between art and madness. As he delves deeper into the case, his mysterious past comes back to haunt him.
As the body count climbs and public fear mounts, Detective Walsh must race against time to unravel the clues. But in a game where the shadows hold the key, will he catch the killer before he strikes again, or will the echoes of his past become his undoing?
I’ll be posting the first chapter of the novella on Friday, and the book trailer will be posted next week. I’m also in the process of getting things set up for ARCs and will let everyone know when those are available as well.
Alright ya’ll, everyone enjoy the rest of your week.
