KEEP THE CREEK CREEPY

Marrow Bone Creek is a haunting Southern Gothic romance series set in a cursed Appalachian town where love, legacy, and ancient forces collide. In this world, the land remembers every secret, and nothing is as sweet as it seems—especially when the strawberries come early and the moon hangs low with promise and peril. The series blends folklore, erotic tension, and psychological dread, exploring how desire and history can bind people as tightly as roots in rich mountain soil. 

Under A Strawberry Moon (Book 1)

In Under A Strawberry Moon, Marrow Bone Creek’s idyllic small-town charm hides a deeper, older hunger. Here, strawberries ripen weeks too soon and taste like more than fruit—they echo desire, memory, and sacrifice. The story centers on Naomi Thornfield, a reluctant seer and bookstore owner with ancestral gifts she’d rather ignore, and Dempsey Calloway, a farmer whose fields yield fruit and grief in equal measure. As the Strawberry Moon rises, the town’s old bargains with the land unravel, drawing Naomi and Dempsey into a web of ancestral magic, buried secrets, and a strange, irresistible pull toward one another that may carry price far greater than either expects. This first novel lays the groundwork for the series’ mythic stakes: love that haunts, land that remembers, and history that refuses to stay buried. 

The Ruination of Michael Sterling (Book 2)

The Ruination of Michael Sterling shifts focus to Michael Sterling, a journalist drawn back to Marrow Bone Creek years after his sister’s mysterious disappearance in the mountains. Determined to uncover the truth behind the string of vanishings—especially the one closest to his heart—Michael finds that the town’s secrets are as seductive as they are dangerous. When a strange sickness strikes attendees at a ritual tied to the events of Under A Strawberry Moon, Michael inches closer to something the town’s leaders and its enigmatic Fellowship would rather never see the light of day. In Marrow Bone Creek, ambition, obsession, and corruption blur the line between truth and temptation, and the path to revelation may demand sacrifices Michael never anticipated.
