For Ann Kinnear, an all-expenses-paid cruise should have been the perfect working vacation—until she learns her assignment is to confront the lingering echoes of two passengers who jumped to their deaths from the very stateroom she now occupies.

As storm winds buffet the ship and darkness presses close on the open sea, Ann discovers that not every haunting is about sorrow. Some spirits bring with them a suffocating despair, manipulative charm, and a terrifying insistence that the living join them. Trapped between relentless waves and a ghost with unfinished business, Ann must summon every ounce of courage to resist being pulled into a deadly chain of obsession and self-destruction.

With its atmospheric setting aboard a luxury liner turned claustrophobic prison, Sea of Troubles delivers supernatural menace, psychological tension, and the dread of being isolated with forces far stronger than the sea itself.

Perfect for readers who love suspense steeped in gothic isolation, ghostly encounters, and the unnerving sense that a single wrong step could prove fatal.

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.

\"You can’t know what sort of parent you’ll be until it happens. That’s what Marie told Mona and Adam when she recovered from the shock of the revelation. Parenthood is as much of an unknown as the afterlife, she continued. She’d given this talk many, many times in her professional life, but probably not with her face turned to the wall.” (BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT)

44 more explorations from the pen of Gavin Boyter, these tales are set in locations and times as far-flung as a Romanian particle accelerator, an active Vanuatu volcano, and a London start-up offering interdimensional escapes.

Meet a monkey matchmaker, a merciful Roman Legionnaire, and a lonely Italian monk in love with a girl on a bicycle. In other tales in this anthology...

—an ageing hiker delivers a mysterious Victorian love letter to a spectre in the snowy Scottish Highlands...

—an enterprising teenager makes an unexpected friend and becomes a schoolyard entrepreneur through photography... —a grieving father decides to erase the memory of his child, and finds he’s losing himself instead...

and Christmas’s biggest fan meets her nemesis in the basement-dwelling enemy of Yuletide.

“Gavin Boyter combines rawness with heartfelt emotion, carrying the reader through relatable journeys. He also infuses mystery and horror into his writing without it feeling trite.” Kristen Henderson, Editor, Bright Flash Literary Review

Because I Said So began as a writing prompt on a difficult day. I set myself a simple challenge. What if I translated the energy of Anita Renfroe’s comedy song “Momisms” into a tender, original scene between a mother and a daughter. The result is this kitchen story. It is not included in my forthcoming book Mother’s Advice, but it points directly at the heart of it.

In the space of an evening, Sadie arrives home with an invitation that could change her path. Anita meets her with care, caution, and a handful of well-worn sayings. What starts as a tussle of wills becomes a conversation about safety, trust, and love. The emotional high point comes when Anita lets the power struggle go and says what matters. Whatever you choose, I will still love you. I am afraid. That honesty opens the room. Together, they trade fear for a plan.

I am sharing this as a teaser for the book and as a thank you to early readers who have encouraged this work. The manuscript explores the advice many of us missed, wished for, or only understood later. This scene sits beside that project as a small homage to the phrases that shaped us. It is inspired by Renfroe’s “Momisms” but uses only original text.

If you enjoy this, you can follow for updates on Mother’s Advice, add your favourite “mumism” to the comments, or share the piece with someone who needs a gentle reminder that love does not depend on the choice.

Using a dead girl’s name and secretly dating a professor are just some of the things Ana Lopez is willing to do to graduate college and build some sort of future for herself. You name it, she’ll do it, if it gets her closer to a better life and helps her escape her violent past.

After crawling out of an abusive relationship, Ana is focused on nothing other than moving out of her brother’s house and into her own future. But Ana doesn’t realise that as she tries to outrun her past, she’s leaving her family behind and her identity behind. Running into Marlon, a friend from high school, was not in Ana’s plans at all. Tall, dark and handsome, he had been her crush in high school, but nothing had ever come of it. Although knowing him from high school poses a risk to exposing her new identity, Ana can’t seem to help herself. And the more she’s around him, the more Ana realizes a flaw in her carefully laid plans: that she just might want more than a simple degree and a life of dull comfort with a man she doesn’t love.

The problem is, she isn’t quite sure how to handle breaking up with an increasingly possessive Daniel, her professor. Little does Ana know that everything she’s worked for the past few years, everything she’s convinced she deserves, is about to come crashing down as the professor’s jealous wife comes back, a family crisis rears up and Ana loses someone she dearly loves.

Ann Kinnear is no stranger to helping the living find peace with the dead—but a commission on a remote Maine island brings her into far more treacherous waters than she expects.

Her task: deliver a husband’s urgent message to his late wife, celebrated artist Allison Niedermeier. But in the solitude of Mizzen Island—where waves crash against the shore, secrets linger in the shadows, and grief has twisted into something darker—Ann soon realizes that the truth is far murkier than the story she has been told.

When messages from beyond begin to surface in ways both eerie and undeniable, Ann must uncover what really happened on the night Allison disappeared … and decide how far she is willing to go to protect the living from the fallout of the dead.

With its windswept island setting, haunting revelations, and taut emotional undercurrents, \"Write in Water\" is a suspenseful tale of love, betrayal, and the echoes that remain long after life’s final brushstroke.

Architect Roy Mackie's life is turned upside down when his twin brother Raymond passes away. As he tries to come to terms with his loss, his well-ordered life begins to come unraveled. A rare bottle of wine is found empty and discarded, and Roy doesn't remember drinking it. Personal items are found rooms away from where he's sure--almost sure--he left them. When Roy's son begins to question his father's sanity, Roy turns to the only person who can help: Ann Kinnear.

What Ann learns is not what she or Roy expected, and they join forces with a pair of charitable benefactors to defend Roy against the forces conspiring against him.

She’s Fine is a collection of short fiction that delves into the inner worlds of women as they face the challenges, contradictions, and subtle absurdities of modern life. Through navigating societal expectations and the hidden pressures of adulthood, each story paints a vivid, often darkly humorous picture of a woman keeping it together—gracefully, tactically, and just enough to maintain composure. These stories explore everyday experiences and small personal reckonings: polite exchanges masking chaos, the quiet mental math behind a simple “I’m fine,” and the delicate balancing act required to stay composed in a world that rarely notices the effort. Ideal for readers who appreciate clever, character-driven tales with humor, subtle satire, and emotional depth, She’s Fine offers a candid, entertaining, and subtly rebellious perspective on contemporary womanhood.
