The Hollows Beginnings
The Hollow’s Beginnings By Chris Baker When Claire Delaney inherits an old estate nestled deep in the Appalachian wilderness, she believes it’s a chance to start fresh and escape the haunting grief of her mother’s death. But the land has a memory—and the forest surrounding her new home is steeped in secrets, sorrow, and a history that refuses to stay buried. As she settles into her new life, Claire begins to hear voices in the woods, and her dreams are filled with a man she’s never met but feels she’s loved across lifetimes. Soon, she discovers that she’s not just dreaming—she’s remembering. Claire is the latest incarnation of Liora, a woman bound by blood and magic to Adrian, a soul cursed to find and lose her over and over again through the centuries. Drawn together by fate and torn apart by a powerful force known only as the Hollow, Claire and Adrian must uncover the truth behind their shared past before the curse claims them once more. But the deeper they delve into the history of the Hollow, the more they unravel the horrifying truth: something ancient lives beneath the trees, something that feeds on heartbreak—and it’s been waiting for them. A paranormal romance laced with Gothic horror and a chilling sense of inevitability, Whispers in the Hollow is the first installment of a haunting saga about love, memory, and the price of redemption. Will Claire and Adrian finally break the cycle—or are they doomed to repeat it forever?
Lincoln Park at Night
Lincoln Park at Night By Chris Baker Welcome to Lincoln Park Zoo… after dark. When lanky, awkward Steve signs on as the zoo’s newest night security guard, he expects quiet shifts and maybe a few mischievous raccoons. What he gets instead is a crash course in paranormal chaos: malfunctioning radios that whisper Gregorian chants, animals behaving like they know more than they should, and shadows that twist and move on their own. As the zoo’s layout begins to shift in impossible ways, Steve stumbles into a chilling mystery that ties the animals, a clever raccoon thief, and glowing-eyed creatures to something ancient lurking beneath the surface. Equal parts eerie and darkly funny, Lincoln Park at Night pulls you into a surreal, suspenseful world where reality is fragile and survival depends on your wits—and maybe a flashlight. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the haunting humor of Good Omens. Dare to enter the zoo after hours… if you’re brave enough.
Alchemy of Power
Power can change the world. But at what cost? In Victorian England, where science is ruled by men and power is guarded by privilege, Dr. Eleanor Farringdon makes a discovery that could redefine medicine—and threaten the very foundations of society. Brilliant, principled, and dangerously ahead of her time, Eleanor’s research draws the attention of Arthur Pembroke, a man whose influence reaches far beyond the laboratory. He offers her what no institution ever has: access, protection, and a seat among the powerful. But progress, Eleanor soon learns, is never free. As her work moves from theory to human application, she is forced to navigate a world where ethics are negotiable, alliances are strategic, and discovery is currency. Every breakthrough brings her closer to changing lives—and closer to becoming a tool of those who value control over conscience. Torn between integrity and impact, love and ambition, Eleanor must decide whether she can wield power without being consumed by it. The Alchemy of Power is a richly atmospheric historical novel about science, influence, and the price of being heard in a world determined to silence you. Perfect for readers who love intelligent heroines, moral tension, and slow-burning political intrigue.
