Oxford, 1890.

Beneath the wavering glow of gaslight, whispers coil through ancient colleges and fog-choked lanes. Whispers of a murder no one can explain.

Lady Pippa Hastings stands accused of killing a young man in a locked room — the evidence as damning as it is impossible. The gallows await.

But years in the future, a single discovery will cast doubt on everything.

Katie Lennox makes the only choice that matters: travel back through the London Stone, a Druidic portal binding past and present, and save Lady Pippa before history seals her fate. In a city steeped in secrets, she joins forces with brilliant Oxford scholar Henry Merrivale and sharp-witted Cockney lad Toby Becket. Together, they must untangle vanishing killers, sealed chambers, and crimes that defy reason — as the shadow of the notorious Demon Duchess of Devon looms ever closer.

Every revelation leads deeper into a labyrinth where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted.

The clock is ticking. The noose is waiting.

Can Katie outwit a perfect killer — before history claims another innocent life? Find out in the thrilling follow-up to the award-winning Ripped!

SHE SURVIVED THE WAR.
WHAT SHE DID TO SURVIVE IT
STAYED WITH HER FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.Kentucky, 1862
With two sons wearing Union blue and another fighting for the
Confederacy, Annie Claiborne already knows that the Civil War
can divide more than a nation-it can divide a family.
THEN WAR COMES DIRECTLY TO HER DOOR.
Forced to produce saltpeter for Confederate gunpowder, Annie and
those around her labor among smoke, fire, and the foul depths of a
mountain cave. When a violent explosion kills her husband, Annie
is left a widow in a world that expects women to endure quietly
and obey. Instead, she takes command.
BUT SURVIVAL WILL DEMAND MORE THAN COURAGE.
As armies shift, loyalties fracture, and slavery begins to loosen its
grip, Annie must decide what she owes to her family, to the people
whose lives have been bound to hers, and to her own conscience.
Every choice carries a price-and some cannot be undone.
YEARS LATER,
Annie finally puts pen to paper to tell her son the truth she has
carried in
WHAT SHE DID, WHY SHE DID IT,
AND WHAT IT COST.

When a shocking accident costs a young nanny her job, a handsome stranger offers her a position at his isolated estate – in this electrifying psychological thriller from New York Times bestseller Lisa Unger.

When aspiring writer Ivy Chase loses her nanny job, she finds herself broke and with no place to go. Out of options, she has no choice but to accept an unexpected offer from handsome and wealthy widower Evan White. Soon, she’s on a private jet, heading towards the stranger's isolated estate, Fox Glenn, to care for his two children.

Fox Glenn, lovingly restored by Evan’s late wife, Tess, is idyllic. But the children are haunted by their mother’s death. Lulu is tormented by a menacing imaginary friend named Lavender. Asher is sullen and angry. Almost as soon as Ivy arrives, the police are at the door. The former nanny, who Ivy has come to replace, has disappeared.

Meanwhile, Ivy’s previous employer has discovered shameful things about Ivy. She wants vengeance and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. As Ivy tries to unravel the mysteries of the White family while managing frightening threats of her own, she realizes she’s not safe anywhere – inside or outside the walls of Fox Glenn. Combining eerie gothic suspense with razor-sharp tension, Unger delivers an up-all-night, read-with-the-lights-on thriller about desire, deception, and revenge.

Hideous Exuberance

The predecessor / doppelgänger / kindred spirit of “Catastrophically Consequential”. Incongruous, inappropriate, preposterous; trashy, explicit, poetic, phantasmagorical. Blasphemous, impressionistic, inflammatory; outrageous, unstructured, inane. A highbrow-lowbrow, comic-fantasy-nightmare. A flamboyant, surrealistic, experimental reaction to the random nature of existence. It's the book your parents raised you not to write.

Please refer to the Blog Posting on the Stephen C. Bird Author Profile Page for Quotes from Goodreads Reviews for "Hideous Exuberance".

From the author of the instant cult classic Catherine House, a story of one woman’s search to find her place in a looming uncanny future.

Crystal Washington—awkward, underpaid, chronically ignored Crystal—has never fit in at Acme, the glossy tech startup where she works as an administrative assistant. Until the day she meets Juliet. Juliet, a magnetic scientist in Acme’s mysterious Social Machines department, is looking for a roommate. And she sees something in Crystal that no one else ever a friend.

As Crystal and Juliet develop a haunted, obsessive intimacy, Crystal realizes she would do anything for Juliet, anything to keep her close. Nothing could possibly get between the two of them—until Juliet is chosen to beta-test Acme’s newest top-secret project, a plush robot “companion toy.” Juliet is instantly enamored. But Crystal senses something sinister about the adorable creature. Is Crystal going crazy? Or is there a menacing gleam in those plastic eyes?

Grounded in a character determined to find some truth in an increasingly artificial world, Peanut is a reckoning with what it means to be human.
