Travel back to the swamp with Clutching Her Bird Twins' Pearls,
the highly-anticipated ending to The Pearls Clutchers Trilogy!
Ellenore
New York, 1924 AD
I should let my father die alone. Do I really want my childhood home, filled with terrible memories I’ve fought hard to forget? Even the horrors of being a nurse in the Great War don’t compare to the wrongdoings I witnessed as a kid. With any luck, he will pass before my train reaches Kentucky. The city is no place for a haunted woman like me to retire to a life of spinsterhood. I need isolation where my night terrors and panic attacks won’t disturb anyone, and I know the swamp can hide many secrets.

Raymond
She’s returned. When Leopold sent Ellenore to boarding school, I assumed I’d never see her again. My heart set her free to live a real life, untethered to the swamp. I moved on, falling in love with Roy, trying to build a life between Leopold’s diabolical experiments. Now my feelings for her have escaped from the dark corner where I buried them. My rut triggers Roy’s, and we must release our eggs. He says to smash them…but I have a different vessel in mind.
When Ellenore doesn’t remember the bird man who admired her from afar, what will she do with his declaration of love? Will his affection for her end his relationship with Roy? Or will it take the comfort of two monsters to keep her nightmares from haunting her?
*Clutching her Bird Twins’ Pearls is a Why Choose (MMF) horror romance, with night terrors, PTSD, oviposition, avian humanoid monsters, and adult themes. Reader discretion is advised.*
Clutching Cthulhu's Pearls Bends Genres Like Nothing Else
Congratulations to Clutching Cthulhu's Pearls for being a Finalist for the 2026 Imadjinn Awards in Best Cross Genre Fiction. This books is a 1920s, science fiction, oviposition horror romance (sing that like a famous stomach ache remedy). Winners will be announced in July of 2026 during the same week that the trilogy finishes with the release of Clutching Her Bird Twins' Pearls. I have other big news for Cthulhu & Harriett so stayed tuned for more. I may be completing the series, but the publishing journey of The Pearl Clutchers doesn't end there...

What is a Chuchunya?
Buried deep under the Canadian permafrost is a clan of snow monsters called Chuchunya. They are in danger of extinction, so their leader is desperate for kits. However, the individual Chuchunya await their soul-bonded mates, to chase them in the annual mating game where females decide who will spend the zima season in caves together, and who will be alone...
They are a match made in hell...
Running from a SWAT team in heels along the rooftops lands Embezzler Rachel in hell. If the demons think she's sitting through intake processing, they are as outrageous as their horns' accessories. She hides in hell's server room where the mortal world's computer glitches and internet crashes are unleashed. Spamato the Demon of Email Mischief takes her under his wing in this tongue-and-cheek demonic rom com that's hotter than...well...hell.
