Available Now: Behind You

Just in time to celebrate Friday the 13th with a spooky read.
If you like Christmas in July, maybe you would also love Halloween in December! If so, take a look at my new short scary story, Behind You, available today in time for Friday the 13th. In this story, a librarian is testing out a new AI app when a shadowy figure starts to follow her. The wonderful cover illustration was created by my talented niece, and I wanted to make a cover that paid homage to older YA book covers which featured a main image with a creepy text, so I made the I in the title a little different from the rest.
I wanted to write a scary but not too scary short story featuring AI, and I really like how this one came out. This story is just for fun, and if you take a look at it I hope you enjoy it! Behind You would be great for readers who love spooky ghost stories with slight scares, share it with someone who would like a quick suspenseful read! It is available as an ebook now on Amazon for 99 cents!
