Among those titles are my three novels—the SEETHINGS trilogy—written for readers who enjoy psychological suspense, moral ambiguity and characters who are rarely what they first appear to be.
SEETHINGS
Five murders unfold beneath violent thunderstorms, yet the greatest danger isn’t the killer—it’s how ordinary evil can appear. Mitchell Felding, a storm photographer drawn to nature’s most violent moments, finds himself surrounded by people whose motives remain hidden beneath everyday smiles and polite conversation. As relationships fracture and loyalties shift, every revelation exposes another layer of manipulation. The novel slowly tightens its grip, asking one disturbing question: how well do we really know the people closest to us?
SEETHINGS II
Time has passed, but this kind of darkness has a habit of waiting patiently.
When a forgotten bundle of love letters resurfaces, it awakens emotions that should have remained buried forever. New relationships begin with hope, while old secrets quietly prepare to destroy them. The second novel widens the psychological landscape of the series, exploring obsession, betrayal, desire and deception as multiple lives become entangled. Every discovery raises fresh questions, and every answer carries consequences that reach far beyond the page. What appears to be a second chance may instead be the beginning of another carefully orchestrated nightmare.
SEETHINGS III
The trilogy reaches its most unsettling destination.
Long-running storylines collide as years of manipulation, hidden motives and carefully concealed truths finally surface. Characters who once believed they understood one another begin to question every memory, every relationship, and every decision that brought them to this point. Trust evaporates. Alliances fracture. Beneath calm conversations and familiar faces lurks an undercurrent of psychological warfare that has been building since the opening pages of the first novel. This isn’t simply a conclusion—it’s the moment the darkest waters finally reveal what has been hiding beneath the surface all along.
One of the pleasures of the Smashwords sale is discovering authors you may never otherwise encounter. Independent publishing is filled with talented writers producing exceptional stories across every imaginable genre, and July is the perfect time to sample something new without stretching the budget.
Perhaps you’ll discover your next favourite mystery. Perhaps an unforgettable fantasy adventure. Or perhaps you’ll decide to venture into the unsettling world of SEETHINGS, where appearances deceive, morality blurs, and danger often arrives wearing a friendly smile.
Whatever you choose to read this July, I hope you find stories that surprise you, challenge you and stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
Happy browsing—and happy reading.
