In the shadowed windows of a grand historic home overlooking the Indian River Lagoon in Fort Pierce, Florida, the apparition of a grieving woman materializes—eternally gazing across the restless waters, waiting for her husband and son who vanished on a doomed fishing trip, never to return.

Built in 1909 and enshrined on the National Register of Historic Places, the Boston House—once called Cresthaven—has long echoed with whispers of tragedy. Locals and paranormal investigators speak in hushed tones of Aleaceon Perkins, the tormented spirit said to wander its halls, bound by unbreakable sorrow...

What were the events leading to their disappearance and why does she remain?

Delve into the shocking family secrets long buried within these walls—tales of betrayal, murder, and a darkness that lingers, refusing to fade into the night.

My first time earning a #1 New Release badge on Amazon!

Florida, middle 1800s. Mary, a freed midwife, has purchased her independence at a steep cost. Hoping to begin anew in Wauchula, she soon discovers that freedom does not guarantee dignity in a world still bound by prejudice and cruelty.

Caught between the demands of the wealthy families she serves and the authority of the man who control her livelihood. Mary must endure slights, betrayals, and the constant reminder that her place in society is never secure. Each birth she oversees becomes both a test of her skill and a measure of her resilience.

Drawn from a little-known Florida legend, Bloody Bucket Bridge is a powerful tale of endurance, injustice, and one woman's fight to claim her place in a world determined to silence her.

Bloody Bucket Bridge (Wauchula)

As of my writing this, the Devil's Chair is being released September 16, 2025.

I am in the final edit stages for the Bloody Bucket Bridge.

In Cassadaga, Florida, a haven for spiritualists and mediums, a sinister legend persists: a chair rumored to belong to the Devil himself sits in the Lake Helen Cemetery. Lore dictates that those who brave sitting in it at midnight will be assailed by malevolent whispers. If a token is presented and vanishes by morning, it is believed to signify the Devil's approval.
Keith Rommel, the celebrated author of The Devil Tree and The Cursed Man, explores the origins of this enigmatic artifact. You might want to leave the light on for this one.

This was probably one of the funnest books to write. The tossup would be between this, White River Monster and The Devil Tree.

Having revisited the story during my reading of Ice Canyon Monster, I found the read easy and enjoyable and I believe this story appeals to anyone. People that like monsters, curses, nature, different cultures as well as a damn good story.

You can find it on iTunes and Audible
