None of them want you to have a merry one. All of them are independent authors — buy them direct, on Kindle Unlimited, or from your local bookshop.
countdown dread · Kindle Unlimited
Daily gifts from Thanksgiving to Christmas for a family hiding new names. The calendar format becomes the torture device; each opening is a small funeral for the reader's optimism.
family secrets · for Feeney fans
A knock at the door on the one night everyone is home. Domestic noir with snow on it — secrets surfacing faster than the pudding can be flamed.
vigilante gone wrong · twisty
A family pushed past breaking point by a torment they can't prove, so on Christmas night they fight back. The police will call it what it is.
advent novella · trauma & tenderness
Twenty-five days of healing after a childhood witnessing. Funny, then brutal, then — somehow — kind.
PI revenge · festive noir
A dead Santa in the chimney, staged holiday displays, and snowflake cards taunting a private investigator. Standalone in a series, if the series is December itself.
Want the list as a carousel? It lives on Bluesky and Mastodon, as a Short, and (soon) on Bookwyrm.
the bell rings. you salivate. you read.
