Portents is a city like no other—and one that Detective Greg Loren can’t wait to escape. Since his wife’s death years earlier, Loren has looked forward to the moment he can leave the city of Portents for good—and never look back.

But fate has another plan for Loren. Called back to duty, Loren finds himself embroiled in a series of murders that has shaken the city. Together with Soriya Greystone, a young woman with unearthly powers, Loren must work quickly to find the otherworldly being that is killing citizens of Portents one at a time. Loren is tasked with deciphering the mysterious signs left at each of the crime scenes…even if it means traveling to worlds not his own to do so.

Fast-paced and thrilling, Signs of Portents will leave you on the edge of your seat and turning page after page.

But wait, there’s more!

Tales from Portents is only $0.99 this week! The follow up/prequel chapter of the Greystone Saga is less than a buck for your reading pleasure.

Six tales of monsters, the dead rising, and the terrors of Portents.

The beasts Detective Loren and Soriya Greystone battled in Signs of Portents were just a hint of what lurks in the city. Tales from Portents explores the city’s immersive history, including stories of Loren’s descent after his wife’s death—and his opportunity to have her rise from the grave. Among the pages, Soriya battles gremlins, navigates lessons with Mentor, and meets the werewolf Luchik. Follow new characters with expansive histories as they come face to face with the horrors of Portents—both human and otherwise. 

From the Greystone Collection, Tales from Portents navigates the cases that make even Detective Loren lie awake at night.

Offer ends September 17th!

A farewell to Greystone…for now…

Putting these five books together has been a dream come true. I’ve loved every minute of crafting each tale, of building each story. Even the challenges that came with it, from self-editing to hitting my own crushing deadlines. I’ll be sharing a longer, more in-depth farewell in a couple weeks but didn’t want to miss this opportunity as well.

Every sale, every promo or plug for this series has been to showcase my appreciation for being here through it all.

Soriya, Loren, Ruiz, and the rest are, and always will be, an integral part of my life. I want to share that with you as often – and as easily – as possible.

Thank you again for being here for this launch!

Founder’s Day Launch!

December 5, 2017 By Lou

It’s finally here! Founder’s Day is available now!

The sequel to Resurrectionists arrives and Greg Loren is put to the ultimate test.

On the eve of the Founder’s Day Celebration in the heart of Portents, someone is murdering city officials and dressing them up in a signature black robe and cloak. Detective Greg Loren and his new partner, Samantha Myers, are called onto the case only to discover a startling fact linking the murders to the deaths of each of the city’s founders.

What do the murders have to do with the Church of the Second Coming? Will Loren be able to find the killer before the entire city of Portents is at risk?

The seeds are planted for the end of the first cycle of the Greystone series in this tale.

This tale also serves as a primer for the upcoming Greystone Collection, Pathways in the Dark, coming February 20, 2018!

Why this tale from Pathways?

When putting together Tales I knew having a Soriya/Loren story as the freebie was a necessity. This time around not having them together was more important to the overall narrative. Their split is vital to where things are headed and you’ll see more of that shift in the tales preceding this one in the Pathways in the Dark collection this February.

Plus, the added bonus of tying the tale into Resurrectionists was a nice touch to keep the story flowing for the reader.

I hope you enjoy it!
