Bald-Faced Liar follows the daily life of Elizabeth May, a charming woman who spies on strangers and lies to everyone she meets. Her curious habits are a shield, meant to protect her after the childhood trauma of a Satanic panic trial. As a traveling nurse, she moves often so no one can get close to her, but being on her own means she has no one to turn to when a stranger begins infiltrating her life and exposing her lies.

I hope you all enjoy my first true beach read!!!

First Trade Review!

by

So excited to report that the first trade review for FOLLOW HER DOWN is in!

The quote in the text below is highlighted here in bright colors.

Midwest Book Review says, “A simply riveting novel of suspense… a complex and deftly crafted story built upon decades of doubt, fear, and suspicion that will not allow a woman overcome her trauma at the unexplained loss of her sister and the mysterious and possibly linked death of her ex-husband. Original and fascinating from start to finish, Follow Her Down is a strongly recommended pick for personal reading lists and community library conspiracy suspense/thriller fiction collections.”

Follow Her Down is out on June 4! If you pre-order today, I’ll show up at your house bright and early on 6/4/24! Only in book form, I promise.

Follow Her Down in The Nerd Daily!

by

Follow Her Down is featured in “Seven Hot Domestic Suspense Books for Summer” by Elka Ray in The Nerd Daily!

A shot of the website The Nerd Daily features a picture of Elka Ray and her book Friend Indeed.

Elka says, “When Elise’s wildly wealthy former lover is found murdered, Kyle’s convinced his death is linked to their sister’s. Not only is Elise a suspect in her ex’s killing, but she finds herself forced to ask questions she’d rather keep avoiding. Like Elise, I never knew where things were heading. If you like strong and complex female leads and tales of unsettling power dynamics, FOLLOW HER DOWN is great summer-cabin-reading.”

Follow Her Down is out on June 4 and you can pre-order here! And be sure to check out Elka Ray’s debut suspense, Friend Indeed.

Follow Her Down cover, book by Victoria Helen Stone. A woman sinks in green-blue water, her arms twined above her head. The lower half of the cover is semi-opaque white. the top is green-blue water with turbulence and bubbles.

My latest suspense has a cover and a pre-order link, and June 4 is inching closer!

Reviewers, FOLLOW HER DOWN is now available for request on NetGalley. I’m thrilled to be working with both @thrillerbookloverspromotions and @kayepublicity this time around.

This book has it all: a 25-year-old murder, a complicated & cussing heroine, older brother’s best friend 😏, Bigfoot, deadly conspiracies, dysfunctional families, a creepy billionaire, and a tiny-home resort in the mountains. Hey, summer will be here before you know it! (She says while looking out her window at a snow squall.)

Pre-order Follow Her Down!

“The murder of Elise Rockwood’s sister shattered her family. Their mother’s anxiety kept her housebound. Elise’s paranoid brother, Kyle, saw conspiracies everywhere. Elise numbed her grief in an aimless lifestyle that left her emotionally broken. All of them victims. A local boy eventually confessed, but the damage was already done.

Years later, Elise is reinventing herself. She’s bought a mountain lodge to be close to home again and to find stability. Not even an email from her ex tempts her into revisiting the past. But Kyle won’t let it go. He still believes there’s more to their sister’s murder—and the confession—than meets the eye. When Elise’s ex is found dead in the same forest where her sister went missing decades before, Elise is finally willing to listen.

The traumas of the past are reemerging. So is the truth. Elise’s greatest fear now is who will survive it…”
