Her Silence

S.T. Ashman

Expected Publication: July 21, 2026

ARC on Netgalley  

She survived the night. The truth didn't.

Nicole gets the call at 4 a.m. Her daughter Lacey was found in the woods beside her friend's dead husband. He was stabbed forty-four times. Lacey is barely alive. Covered in his blood. And completely mute.

She hasn't said a word since. Not to the police. Not to her husband. Not even to Nicole.

Nicole had Lacey at seventeen and swore her daughter would have a good life. Now Lacey is sitting in a cell, and Nicole's three grandchildren are left behind with a father who is losing it.

But Nicole knows her daughter. She isn't a cold-blooded murderer. Guilt didn't silence her. Fear did. Whatever happened in those woods scared Lacey more than prison.

So Nicole starts digging. But some secrets don't save people. They destroy them.

Release Blitz: Neighborhood Watch by Britney King

I'm hosting a promo, today, on Britney King's latest release, Neighborhood Watch, as a part of the ongoing release blitz tour. Check it out!

 

 

Neighborhood Watch
Britney King
Published: January 29, 2026

 

From bestselling author Britney King comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller about a street built on secrets, a neighbor who knows too much, and the woman who learns—too late—that the most dangerous lies are the ones everyone else is willing to believe.
“You’d be surprised how easy it is to disappear someone.”
That’s what Clint says. Always with a smile. Always like a joke.
But Nora knows better—jokes don’t leave bodies.
Nora Givens runs the salon where the cul-de-sac comes to confess. She knows who’s day-drinking, whose marriage is composting under the patio lights, and which neighbors wield kindness like a weapon. What she doesn’t know is why things on her street suddenly feel wrong.
A break-in with no motive.
A Peeping Tom no one can describe.
A woman who never makes it home.
The neighborhood responds the way they always do—with performative concern. Meetings. Patrols. A nonstop group chat. And Clint, the charming new arrival, is suddenly everywhere: taking notes, volunteering, appearing even before the sirens.
Everyone adores him.
Everyone trusts him.
Everyone but Nora.
When her police statement disappears, her dog vanishes, and her tire fails in a place she’d never survive a crash, the cul-de-sac decides she’s the problem—another “overwhelmed woman” who should calm down and stop making waves.
But Clint keeps offering help.
The kind that looks generous to everyone else—
and strategic to her.
As Nora closes in on the truth, she realizes the quiet horror of suburbia:
Some neighbors want to keep you safe.
Others want to keep you quiet.
And on this street, the simplest way to disappear someone…
is to make sure no one believes her first.
Dark, addictive, and knife-edged, Neighborhood Watch delivers jaw-dropping twists, a psychological chess match in plain sight, and a villain hiding where you least expect him. Perfect for readers who want a thriller that gets under your skin and stays there.

Whispers from the Lighthouse
Heidi McLaughlin
(Westerly Cove #1)
Published: October 28, 2025
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried . . . even for twenty-five years.

When tourist Melissa Clark vanishes near Westerly Cove's historic lighthouse, Detective Brooks Harrington expects a routine missing person case. Instead, he's paired with Vivienne Hawthorne, a tea shop owner who claims her family can speak to the dead.

 

The case mirrors a twenty-five-year-old mystery—teenage Lily Morgan, who disappeared while researching the same lighthouse. Both women were asking dangerous questions about the town's buried secrets.

Vivienne's visions reveal corruption deeper than anyone imagined, but skeptical Brooks believes in evidence, not psychic abilities—until her insights lead him to clues logic couldn't uncover.

 

Racing against time, they must navigate their growing attraction while confronting enemies determined to keep Westerly Cove's darkest secrets buried forever.

Beluga and Planchette can't stand the heat, but there's no way out of this kitchen while murder is the main dish.

(Moccasin Trace Mysteries #1)

Published: June 5, 2024

The bank’s newest Trust Officer Terri Stanley prepares the requested department’s internal audit. Finding puzzling inconsistencies and a jumble of misappropriations and unexplained offshore accounts, she follows protocol and immediately punches in the listed number for the Executor-Trustee, Craige Ingram.

Wealthy land owner/parttime PI Craige Ingram reaches the file back to homicide Lt. Grayson MacGerald after finishing a quick read-through of the preliminary forensic report from Coroner Fred Dinkins on the unexpected death of bank President Royce Sedgewicke. Dinkins’ meticulous autopsy findings verify that a massive apparent heart attack was not from natural causes, confirming what these longtime SEAL buddies suspected.

When Ingram gets a call from Terri Stanley, the bank’s attractive, newly-hired Trust Officer, wanting to discuss in confidence possible account irregularities discovered during her audit, he never imagines the twisted world of money and greed that would involve a psychopath’s trail of bloody body parts strewn along Ingram's river property, or that Terri and her son would disappear.

Confronted by a race against time, Ingram fears that Terri might become one more on the list of dead who crossed a twisted mind bent on thrill-kills and retribution.
