I wrote this novella titled October Ashes. It is a 112 page paperback novella set in October of 2025 Here is the book description In the small New England town of Hallow’s Edge, autumn lingers like a spell—crisp leaves, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, and secrets buried beneath the frost. When Amelia inherits her grandmother’s ivy-cloaked cottage, she trades her city life for quiet streets, pumpkin festivals, and the dream of opening her own boutique. But the shadows of Hallow’s Edge are never far—especially the looming Ashburne Mansion on the hill, where whispers of disappearances still haunt the town. Drawn into the mystery of her family’s past, Amelia begins to untangle threads of old journals, hidden letters, and a watchful groundskeeper who knows more than he says. And as the nights grow colder, she finds herself caught between the comfort of small-town friendships and the magnetic pull of Julian—a man as mysterious as the mansion itself. Romance flickers like candlelight. Storms rattle the windows. The truth waits in the dark. October Ashes is a gothic small-town romance full of autumn charm, chilling secrets, and the slow-burn fire of love—perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, dark romance, and pumpkin-spiced evenings by the fire.
