THE LOBBY


Merry Christmas. Have a Body.
I’m not wrapping this in a bow. From December 24–28, The Dollmaker of Point is free on Amazon. No email signup. No catch. Just a full Texas thriller about a town that should’ve stayed buried, secrets that don’t respect holidays, and a killer who never clocked out. Consider this my Christmas gift to readers who prefer their stories dark, unsettling, and just a little too real. Merry Christmas. 🎄🩸

Case File #001 — The Silence That Melted Into Screams
The folder was thin, warped at the edges, but heavy with ghosts. Murder Doesn’t Clock Out: Before Quinlan. Back then Loretta and David thought they were invincible—Texas Violent Crimes Task Force rookies chasing shadows. What they found instead was a wax museum of the dead, a blaze that erased more than evidence, and the first mistake that would haunt every case to come.

🕯️ When the Dolls Appeared, So Did the Pattern
Harold Finch was found slumped over his garage workbench, throat slashed clean. A six-inch wooden doll, dressed in miniature overalls, mirrored the wound exactly. The next day, Albert Keyes was discovered in his study, wrist lacerated, with another doll—cardigan and glasses—standing upright on the desk. Each scene was staged with obsessive precision. The killer didn’t just leave evidence. They left a performance.
