He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake.

Some kids are scared of the dark, others of monsters living under their beds. Some are even afraid of clowns.

None of those things scare Sara. But she is terrified of one man, who comes to her house every year, in the middle of the night.

Santa.

Curl up with some frightening Christmas horror from the Queen of Scream, Willow Rose. Warning: you might not feel like putting out cookies for Santa ever again after reading this short story.

Here’s the set-up:

In this stunning conclusion to the Wood Cow Chronicles, the struggle to overturn ancient injustice will succeed or fail depending on what happens when enslaved dragons are released to act in freedom. The rediscovery of long-lost wonders holds the key to the final death of tyranny and the dawn of lasting peace. The way forward is anything but clear, however…

The High One has fallen, taking age-old tyranny with him, but the Hedgelands is in chaos as the new Council struggles toward a new society. Wrackshee slavers have not given up the game, and move to exploit the disorder and preserve the old system. When no one seems able to stop the Wrackshee onslaught, Bem Madsoor makes a desperate and dangerous decision—to split her fleet and send a heavily out-numbered band of sea-beasts against the Wrackshees’ fortified camp. Can the rebels face wonders and fears that run counter to everything they know? Simple bravery is not going to cut it this time.

Distant realms are inexorably drawn into the turmoil, and would-be prophets and rebels, warriors and scholars, kings and dragons, discover they are part of a struggle in which they must come together, or lose all.

Here’s the set-up:

A semi-secret society of ten former victims intent on justice. A young recruit who will have to expose just how far one of them is willing to go to even the score.

“A taut, twisting tale of justice…” – Bob M
“The twists and turns from beginning to end make this book difficult to put down!” – A. Lawrence

Former victim Palmer Reed is facing the 20th anniversary of her kidnapping when she is recruited to the board of a prestigious foundation dedicated to helping the victims of crime. Run by Marjoram Swall, a woman known as The Vindicator, who helped rescue Palmer twenty years ago from the hands of their mutual enemy, the foundation gives Palmer something to believe in, hoping that by helping other victims, she will resolve her own painful past.

But something dark lies beneath the foundation’s surface, and after Palmer learns of the foundation’s use of blackmail to raise money for their cause, she discovers that several individuals who escaped their blackmail attempts all later died in mysterious accidents. She investigates, and soon believes their deaths are anything but accidental.
