However, there are some tips and habits that will be very useful to anyone who writes. They are important tips.

SOLOM: THE SCARECROW
When Katy Logan moves her troubled teen daughter Jett to the Appalachian community of Solom, she envisions a peaceful rural lifestyle on her new husband’s farm.

But there’s more to Solom than she ever imagined. Gordon Smith’s first wife Rebecca died under mysterious circumstances, and Katy believes her spirit is still in the house. Gordon’s great-grandfather was a horseback preacher who vanished while on a mission one wintry night, and local lore holds that he returns from time to time seeking vengeance. And Gordon teases Katy and Jett with a story about a wicked scarecrow that comes in from the fields at night to slake an unnatural thirst.

When the legends come to life, Katy and Jett discover the Smith family secrets cut deep. And they must face the supernatural menace together or become part of Solom’s legends forever.

SOLOM: THE NARROW GATE
After the violent death of Katy Logan’s psychopathic husband, she inherits a farm in the Appalachian Mountain town of Solom.

Determined to protect her teen daughter Jett and not surrender to fear, she builds a new life in the wake of the tragedy. However, the dark forces that drove her husband to madness still lurk in Solom, and a horseback preacher has returned from the grave with a sinister mission. Solom’s slumbering spirits are stirring, the herds of goats are restless, and the townspeople are banding together to ward off the sinister force that threatens to destroy them.

Katy and Jett discover an unexpected ally as they are drawn into the supernatural showdown, but is anyone–or anything–powerful enough to walk away from Solom’s final battleground?

SOLOM: THE PREACHER
In the aftermath of a chilling supernatural showdown, Katy Logan is determined to protect the farm she’s inherited in the rural Appalachian community of Solom.

But Solom’s mysterious past won’t rest in peace. More than a century after his death, the Reverend Harmon Smith, known to locals as “the Horseback Preacher,” has one final round to make atop his faithful horse Old Saint. He’s seeking someone to carry on his eternal quest of bloody retribution, and several of Solom’s holy men are eager to take the reins.

But the Horseback Preacher has his dark gaze on one special disciple: Katy’s teen daughter Jett. Can Katy uncover Solom’s final secret and send the Horseback Preacher to his grave at last, or will she lose everything, including her soul?
