My paranormal fantasy novel Glimmer Monster 121K words. It has ghostly vengeance like that from Rin Chupeco’s THE GIRL FROM THE WELL , an afterlife world like THE GOOD PLACE, and tosses in a few serial killers and an anti-hero like Dexter mixed with a reaper like Signa from BELLADONNA who takes care of them.

But when her living daughter is kidnapped by a killer Ryker is set to reap, Ryker will have to break every rule to save her—and she’ll have to become a monster to do it. Glimmer Monster has mystery, serial killers, monsters, slow burn romance, kidnapping, forever friendships, diversity, strong bonds, the love of family, and pain—both physical and emotional.
