About this series
Regret is only the Beginning; Horror is the Transformation; Tragedy is the Offspring.
After seeing Wayland off to the afterlife, Joey's left grieving over the reality that her father and best friend are gone. She can't let it stop her though. She's got a job to do for Charon, her regular life to return to, and the complications brought on by having Jag carry her heart. She can't even focus on that when she discovers running from her problems doesn't actually get rid of them.
Stalked by the ghosts of her Baltimore, Joey can't get away from her mistakes. Meanwhile, now that the badges can see her again, she's got a couple of things to explain, like jumping out the window at the station and why there was blood in her boyfriend's apartment. Telling them ghosts are real isn't enough; she has to prove it. Ralph seems like a good option as the guy who makes deals with death, but when she shows up at his bar, he's missing too. Time is running out on her credibility and with every second that passes, she risks sinking Jag's life for holding onto him for so long, the blood came off her hands and got all over him.

HORROR IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVIL OVERTAKES THE HEART. Joey's a Baltimore mechanic. One night, she receives a call from her best friend, asking for his car to be picked up from the infamous body dumping grounds of Baltimore: Leakin Park. When she arrives, there's little more around than a stalled-out car and a couple of ravens, so she leaves only with the car. Back at the body shop, it doesn't take long for the smell of rot to permeate the trunk. Inside? A corpse. The cops say her friend did it. His absence is his guilt, but Joey knows better. She will find her missing friend and she will prove his innocence. But something isn't right in Baltimore. It's not just the feeling that someone is always watching from the city's abandoned buildings... Her search for her friend reveals something much worse hiding under her city. A ghost town, a reaper, regret. Suddenly, the city's rage and the stink rising out of the dirt make much more sense. A haunting, magical story about intergenerational trauma and how the ghosts of the past can follow us with aesthetics like Edgar Allan Poe meets Tim Burton and the rage of Stephen King. This novel will show you around Baltimore with a little dread and a lot of spunk. Watch out for the ravens.

Everything's an insult when your soul is bankrupt. Joey and Wayland may have returned to Baltimore after their deaths, but things are not the same through eyes tainted by death. The city seems darker, the graffiti louder, and a meltdown is only a hair-trigger away. Joey's ready for everything to go back to normal, but that might not be possible when every time she's around Wayland, he's dripping with someone's freshly spilled blood. Meanwhile, Jag's losing his patience with Joey's preference for her serial killer best friend. Desperate to keep her life together in a somewhat recognizable way, Joey discovers that a local medium might have a way to calm the regret-fueled rage that plagues both her and Wayland, driving them both further out of control with each passing day. In hopes of a return to normal, she sets out to ask the authorities of the afterlife to grant her and Wayland a real second chance. The ravens stalking her promise that if she doesn't move quickly, she may lose everything she cares about. With a past and a future that can't compromise, tragedy doesn't spare the indecisive.

Ian Kirkpatrick is an author of speculative fiction, satire, and literary fiction with elements of scifi, horror, and comedy. Her credentials are these: an MFA in Creative Writing, a Masters in Forensic Psychology, and a BA in Theater. She's particularly obsessed with human nature, rationale, morality, good and evil, absurdity, and the supernatural bend you can find between mythology and reality, so her fiction will often contain these elements.

While she writes across genres, these elements will often still be found in her works along with innocent characters, psychopathic characters, or a combination of the two.
