Escapes, flashes back to my summer romance, A Thousand Summer Secrets, and
revisits my short horror stories and paranormal romances.
New Release!
7 Speculative Stories
Are you ready to take a journey into the unexpected?
In these 7 speculative stories, ordinary people start off
having an average, normal day… until they encounter the world of the surreal.
They quickly realize they’re in another realm where anything can—and
does—happen.
Some of these unusual tales include:
“Holiday Havoc” – The night shift in a retail store hosts
the ultimate Halloween vs. Christmas showdown
“Little Boy Lost” – After several strange incidents, Beverly
suspects her son’s imaginary friend isn’t so imaginary
“The Man in Apt. 3-A” – What do you do when you discover
your neighbor is a vampire?
“Whispers from the Past” – Not all ghosts are scary… or
strangers
This collection of short fiction will unnerve you, spark
your imagination, and make you wonder what else is possible in the world of the
surreal.

Earlier this summer, Kelli released her fourth gay romance,
A Thousand Summer Secrets. This tender contemporary romance takes place over a
summer weekend, where two friends reconnect while seeking love and acceptance.
A Thousand Summer Secrets
You can’t outrun your past…
Ten years after being disowned by his family for being gay,
Eric Warren pays a visit to his family’s summer cabin. It’s his last attempt at
reconciliation before moving on. But a surprise from the past is waiting for
him.
Eric’s intolerant brother, Jamey, has several friends
staying at the cabin for the weekend, including Matt, Eric’s boyhood friend and
secret crush. The years haven’t faded their mutual attraction, and they quickly
reconnect. But Eric is hesitant to get romantically involved. He’s emotionally
broken and scarred from his traumatic past.
As Matt tries to help Eric, Jamey goes out of his way to
sabotage his brother. And when the weekend events take a disastrous turn, Eric
finds himself at a crossroads.
Should he follow his search for love and acceptance with
Matt? Or leave the past behind forever?

A Paranormal Mystery/Romance Novel
Disgraced psychic medium Julie Kershaw has finally met her
soul mate. The problem is he’s dead… and his spirit haunts the car she just
bought.
The spirit of Detective Eddie Mahoney is determined to find
his killer and needs Julie’s help. At first, she refuses. She’s tired of being

again—even if Eddie is handsome and charming.
Eddie persuades Julie to contact his former partner, Lou
Kaplonski, to ask him to reopen his case. Skeptical, Lou dismisses Julie as a
fake—until she proves she can communicate with the dead—and he finds out Eddie
has a lot to say.
Julie channels Eddie’s spirit and together with Lou, the
unusual trio tracks down leads and follows clues to solve Eddie’s murder. The
case takes them down a dark and dangerous path filled with secrets, where
nobody can be trusted.
As they work to find his killer, Julie falls for Eddie.
Funny, smart, and sexy, Eddie is the guy of her dreams—and he doesn’t look or
act the least bit dead. To her surprise, Eddie discovers a clever way they can
be together, and they begin an ethereal romance.
When Lou’s investigation brings him too close to the killer,
his life and Julie’s are put in danger—and Eddie may be the only one who can
save them.
