A Murder in the Village – Just Released

I am very excited to announce that A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains has been officially released. This collection of short stories is now available at Cornerstone Book Publishers, Amazon, Kindle, and most other online retail booksellers. And for the rest of this month two sample stories from the book are still posted under Halloween Month 2025 under the main menu. So, I do hope you take a little time to take a mystical diversion.

A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains

At the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, into their ancient heart, and even perhaps into nearby unexplored dimensions, slip into a series of supernatural short stories.

A clash of shapeshifters on sacred grounds, a compromised witch desperately fleeing a witch hunter, and a ghost in search of his murderer are only a few of the tales that dot this paranormal landscape.

Take a mystical diversion that could very well land you in a realm, at the least unexpected and at the most horrifying. But what is clear is that no one, ever, will emerge as they were before.

Just Around the Corner

With the holidays approaching, the end of 2025 is fast approaching. I’m sure there will be plenty to reflect on when we wrap this year up, but that is for another time. For now, I just wanted to mention a few projects that I have percolating on the horizon.

The first thing I wanted to mention is that A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains will be released later this month. This was a book that I started while I was still writing for Kindle Vella and wrapped up sometime later. If you never visited it, Kindle Vella was a short-lived platform that Amazon launched for episodic storytelling. I think it only lasted a few years.

My new book, A Murder in the Village, is the culmination of the time I’ve spent living in Arkansas with its somewhat peculiar and unique paranormal inspirations. I’m very happy with the way it turned out and actually still have two sample stories from it here on the website. Just go to the main menu and you’ll find a listing for Halloween 2025. The two stories still posted are “An Unexpected Danger” and “An Empath in the Woods.”

In addition, I am preparing to launch a project before the end of the year. I will be designing a series of gift items based on my books for Cornerstone Book Publishers. They will be available on the Cornerstone website, and I will post links to them here as well. Another endeavor, but all creative.

Beyond that, my plans include recording many audiobooks and working on a sequel to The Story of Enid. I still have a few projects from my Kindle Vella days that are unfinished. And I do hate dangling threads, so I am looking to wrap these up as well.

Well, a lot on my plate, but exciting as well. I hope everyone finds some time to enjoy the holidays, and I do wish everyone peace. That, I’ve found, is the most valuable possession we can have.

Take Care,

Evelyn

Catch Up on the Werewolf Saga – EBook $2.99

With the recent release of The Story of Enid: Vol. 2 of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf, I have put the eBook version of Vol. I, The Broken Vow, on sale for $2.99 at most eBook retailers for a limited time. So, if you’re interested in catching up on the adventures of my favorite werewolf, Ethan Garraint/Etienne/Geraint, I hope you check it out.

The Broken Vow: Vol. I The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf

In the heart of every man there is a history. In the heart of every monster there is a story. In this first installment of “The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf,” Ethan Garraint is on a vendetta that begins in the heart of the Pyrenees with the fall of Montségur and leads him to the streets of New Orleans nearly five hundred years later. But the person he chases isn’t really a man anymore and Ethan has been a werewolf for almost a millennium. With the aid of a gifted seer, he is on a blood hunt that will culminate in a journey that crosses the line between heaven and earth and ends somewhere in between.


The Story of Enid: Vol. 2 of the Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf

What happens when your one true love reincarnates, and you just happen to be a werewolf?

Ethan Garraint is an old soul. He has been alive for hundreds of years, battling countless challenges and foes along the way — not the least of which was living through the genocide of the Cathar people at Montsegur, a society that wholly embraced him despite his lycanthropic nature. But in Volume 2 of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf, he faces a dilemma that brings his past and present full circle, merging them both.

In The Story of Enid, the sequel to The Broken Vow

Long ago, before he was Ethan Garraint, before the Cathars, before he became a werewolf, he was a man living in a land where enchantment ruled. He was a Knight known as Geraint who served a King. And it was then that he met the one woman who would own his heart.

“There was someone for you once.”

“Yes, a long time ago.”

“Someone very special to you that, I think, perhaps you still mourn.”

“She was my wife.”

“And she left you.”

“Not of her free will, but yes, most do.”

When one realizes that a long-lost soulmate has been reincarnated, it poses some complications. When you have been a werewolf for nearly a millennium, the complications explode exponentially. Ethan Garraint understands that he should stay far away from Erin Holt, but she is in his city, New Orleans, and possibly in danger. And the truth is, he doesn’t want to stay away. He only wants to remind her of the lifetime they lived long ago, when they were more than lovers, when they became legend.
