Circle Bell Island - Now Available on Kindle

An island gripped by fear. A dark secret buried deep. A wannabe cop caught in a web of terror.

Gwen Rabey thought she'd escaped the clutches of Circle Bell Island, a small, religious town steeped in whispers of witchcraft and ancient curses. But when her father falls ill, she's drawn back to the place that haunts her.

As young girls start to disappear, Gwen's memories of her childhood friend, who vanished without a trace fifteen years ago, resurface. The eerie parallels between the past and present ignite a fire within her, and she's determined to uncover the truth.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the island's dark secrets run far deeper than she ever imagined. Her own family is entangled in a web of lies and hidden agendas. Gwen must risk everything to save her younger sister and break the curse that has plagued Circle Bell Island for generations.

A suspenseful horror and mystery.
