    We don't have any.

    We know we can't compete the Big Boys, like Amazon and Chapters. They can run circles around whatever we offer, and we'll only go broke trying to compete.

    But that's okay, and if you are looking for better shipping rates, check our list of awesome stores here.

    Seriously, we don't mind. We know a lot of the people who are sending you your package, and we think they are lovely, beautiful people. 


    We're just happy that you're interested in our book.

    The Personal Touch

    We get that our decision may not be what you want to hear, but give us a chance to explain.

    First of all, we as a company argued and fought over this a lot—well maybe not that much, but David was pretty stressed through the whole discussion.

    But since we can't compete on price, we were determined to lean in on the one thing we can compete on: being generous. 

    We made up our mind on taking the money we could've spent on cheaper rates and put it into other good stuff:

    • We'll keep our prices reasonable, so you get the best deal you can.
    • We're going to make our packaging more beautiful. That means reliable, safe boxing and better goodies on the inside as our way to say thank you.
    • We'll look at giving better sales and deals throughout the year.
    • And finally, we'll keep on writing books for you to enjoy and making them the best quality they can be.

    We don't know about you, but we think there's a lot of potential here for good things to happen.

    Our gratitude

    If you decide to buy from this website, we think it's because you support the writer, the artist, and the creator directly. You value their work and what they do and believe they should be compensated fairly.

    We built this place so that there was a connection between us and you. We love that you support us, even when you may be hundreds or thousands of miles away. 

    Thank you.

    "...a most engaging read. Fans of the series will eagerly await the next installment. Highly Recommended."

    "I’m always a bit wary of being introduced to a new author or series but this book exceeded all my expectations. I loved it so much, in fact, that I went out and bought the first book in the series so that I wouldn’t miss out!"

      "It was darker. I loved it. And hated it. I'm a reader that can picture things. I will go to bed and dream about it. And that's good. That's what I read a book for. Typically I read Lisa Jackson, Iris Johanson... This was a great creepy !!!"

      - The perfect response from one of our readers.

      Be careful who you trust.

       

      When Charlie Wolfe winds up homeless, Tony Shepherd's family takes him in. But Tony's parents have one request: No more mysteries!

      The boys want to keep their word ... but someone is leaving dismembered bodies around the city and Detective Gekas is asking what they know. Soon, Tony and Charlie are caught in a labyrinth of lies and death—and not everyone is as they seem.

      Can the boys escape unscathed or will someone they care about end up dead?
