“A Stone Cold Murder is exactly the kind of book I crave—tightly plotted, emotionally rich, and impossible to put down. Kris Bock blends murder, mystery, and psychic suspense seamlessly, and I’m obsessed.”

A book cover shows a dirt road through prairie grasses leading to a two-story building that is ominous with only two windows lit up. Behind it, the sun sets over a mountain. Dramatic clouds billow up, getting darker behind the title: A Stone Cold Murder: the Reluctantly Psychic Murder Mystery series by Kris Bock. Text says: 99 cent sale! Petra Cloch can touch an object and glimpse its history. A murder weapon might show her the emotions of the killer – but that doesn’t mean she can identify them.

The Well of Sacrifice: “The novel shines not only for a faithful recreation of an unfamiliar, ancient world, but also for the introduction of a brave, likable and determined heroine.” – Kirkus Reviews

A book cover shows an illustration of historical Mayan times. A young woman in orangish clothing holds her arm out straight. Several other figures are behind her, and a Mayan temple is in the background. The title is The Well of Sacrifice by Chris Eboch. Text to the right says: “This is an enthralling tale full of adventure." “Your book has been a very popular one for the kids…all levels of reading ability, and strongly supports our social studies theme.” - Tolt Middle School

I didn't think you had to be a good person to do decent things, but maybe I was wrong. I'd sure seen plenty of indecency from people who claimed to be better than everyone else.

‘No worries. Have fun,’ Jake said with a smile, ‘and behave yourself.’

‘Always.’ Addison climbed out, shutting the door behind him and turning to find a grinning seventy-something-year-old woman standing on the footpath.
