As some of you may have noticed, I have been doing a little work here on the website in preparation of all the good things to come. I added a page called Forthcoming which is where I’ll put upcoming releases. While the covers are not completed yet, I am putting the rough back cover copy here so y’all can get excited. (So be excited!) So without further ado, I am giving you FORTHCOMING!
Fall River
Brown’s deliciously eerie page-turner is as shocking and haunting as the murders upon which it’s based. A daring, enthralling journey into the darkest depths of the human mind. Fall River held me in its chilling grip from start to finish.
—Cat Winters, Bram Stoker Award nominee for In the Shadow of Blackbirds
What if the best Lizzie Borden story isn’t about Lizzie at all?
In the summer of1878, Clara Lodge, a15-year-old orphan, is sent to live with her cousin, Lizzie Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts. What begins as an uneasy stay inside the oppressive Borden household soon spirals into a season of dread that leaves Clara marked with secrets and scars that she will carry for the rest of her life.
Now married and far from Fall River, Clara has achieved a fragile peace of mind, but when Lizzie is accused of murdering her parents, Clara is drawn back to the city she fled. To heal, she must confront the cousin she fears, the memories she buried, and the truth she tried so hard to forget.
Told across three timelines in one woman’s life, Fall River is a chilling blend of history, psychological suspense, and gothic horror—a reimagining of the Borden legend that asks: how long can the past stay buried before it comes for you?
Perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Kate Morton, and Jennifer McMahon, Fall River is a frightening and unforgettable reimagining of the Borden story.
Puppet (May, 2026)
When Azzura (Az) Collodi, an aspiring puppeteer, is asked to perform for a mysterious puppet master at the Palazzo Grimani, she’s torn. On one hand, it’s a dream come true, on the other, her grandfather, one of the most famous marionette makers in Europe, would strongly disapprove. Rudolpho Collodi might have been a brilliant toymaker, but he was also a notorious occultist and ruled the family—Az’s twin brother and their silent, beautiful mother with an iron fist, rarely letting anyone out of his sight. If caught, her punishment would be banishment from everything she’s ever known and yet the lure of proving herself on stage is undeniable and she agrees on the condition of anonymity.
Az is soon drawn into the cutthroat, competitive world of Venetian puppetry, where nothing is as it seems, including the puppet master who knows more about her than he should, and the secretive actor who plays opposite her in the play—as Pinocchio. As her 21st birthday approaches—the day a witch’s power fully manifests— she discovers that she is animator and her talent as a puppeteer is due to her ability to bring marionettes to life. When she learns that a curse has been placed on her family, she must find out who did it and why before her family is destroyed.
Filled with witchcraft, romance and betrayal, Puppet is set against the colorful backdrop of the 1895 Venetian Carnival and retells the story of Pinocchio—through the eyes of the Blue Fairy.
