To the left is a red barn, and dark trees frame the scene. The title “Stormy Valley” looms large in distressed block letters across the storm clouds. A gold starburst sticker at the bottom right corner says “Pre-Order Now.”

Life doesn’t wait for you to steel yourself.

Before it was #StormyValley…

It lived in my drafts as Small Town Crime, a title that never quite clicked. It wasn’t until the town itself demanded center stage that everything fell into place.

Sometimes…it’s the place

A portrait of Detective Liz Montgomery, a dark-haired woman with a steady, watchful expression. She appears serious and composed, conveying both authority and quiet intensity. The image is styled with moody tones to reflect the suspenseful atmosphere of Stormy Valley.

Detective Liz Montgomery came to Stormy Valley for the Lawson case.
But everyone knows her real focus is Sheriff Johnny McCallister.
The question is—does he know it too?

Meet Johnny McCallister.

The sheriff who kept Stormy Valley safe

An aged missing person poster is on a tree trunk. The poster features a photo of a young woman with blonde hair and the word “MISSING” in large black letters at the top. Beneath the photo are details about her disappearance. The paper is slightly creased, and the background shows the rough texture of the bark. The overall tone is warm and slightly aged, as if the photo were taken years ago.

April 15, 1995. Sarah Lawson walked into Dobbin’s Grocery.
She never walked out.

Some cases fade.
This one never did.

A narrow dirt path winds through a dense, fog-shrouded forest. Moss-covered rocks and roots line the trail as pale light fades into white mist ahead. The mood is eerie and foreboding.

Over the river and through the woods… Does Grandma live in Stormy Valley? Some things should stay buried. A psychological thriller coming Fall 2025. #StormyValley #BookTeaser #DarkFiction #SmallTownSecrets #BookSky #IndieAuthor

Stormy Valley is where summer fairs stretch long into the dusk, secrets fester just beneath the surface, and justice wears a familiar face.
