Tickled to Death is FREE to Celebrate the Upcoming Release of Last Laugh!


Crime was yesterday’s kink… until it came crawling back.

Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.

Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.

With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.

Grab a copy of Tickled to Death today. Print and eBook available exclusively on Amazon. Audiobook available on Amazon and Audible.



 At Bayside Women’s Correctional Facility, justice isn’t just blind. It’s bound, gagged, and begging for mercy.

Rhonda Campbell thought she flogged her last case with the Atlantic City Police, but when an inmate turns up dead with telltale suspension marks, the cops come calling again. With the murder pointing to kink, coverups, and dirty power plays, Rhonda agrees to go undercover behind bars, where the guards are shady, the gangs are mean, and the jumpsuits are definitely not her color.

Meanwhile, Detective Jason Dee’s been reassigned from homicide to handling crop-wielding dominas and wayward subs. While Rhonda plays prisoner, he and his partner are stuck guarding the Dungeon. His feelings for Mistress Kali are as complex as her contract negotiations and just as dangerous, but when the prison gig needs a visitor with street cred, Jason’s all in, even if playing her pimp means risking more than just his dignity.

With lives on the line and secrets tightening like a velvet cuff, Rhonda and Jason need to blow the whistle on this prison scandal before another girl ends up permanently suspended.


Print and eBook available now exclusively on Amazon. Audiobook coming soon!

At Jester’s Landing, the rides aren’t the only things that’ll make you scream.

When Atlantic City’s most notorious clown fetishist turns up dead minus his head, suspicion falls on his favorite dominatrix. Especially after he cuts his bitter family out of the will and leaves her his entire fortune.

Head domme Rhonda Campbell, aka Mistress Kali, refuses to let her friend take a flogging for a murder she didn’t commit. She dives into a case where the scandals are stickier than cotton candy and the suspects are strapped to their own emotional roller coasters.

After a month working security at D.O.M.M.E., LLC, Detective Jason Dee thought he’d seen every kink in the carnival, but this investigation tests his limits. Between wrangling his partner’s clown phobia, surviving the Dungeon’s circus-themed fundraiser, and keeping his feelings for Rhonda on a short leash, he’s juggling more than evidence. He’s trying to catch a killer determined to get the last laugh.

Fall Seasons Of Books Giveaway Hop - Enter to Win Audiobook Copy of Phantom!


Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop



Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Phantom, narrated by Micaela  Harper!



Rebecca has always been enchanted by the musical Phantom, but she never expected her life to turn into a chilling reflection of the story.

When her high school drama club chooses
Phantom as their annual production, she lands the coveted lead, but stepping into Christine’s shoes comes with more than just stage lights and romance. She finds herself torn between two co-stars—Tom, the golden-boy athlete playing the dashing hero, and Justyn, the enigmatic Goth who is almost too convincing as the tortured Phantom.

As rehearsals begin, the drama doesn't stay onstage. Curtains fall, mirrors shatter, and chilling messages echo lines from the script. Is Justyn slipping too far into character, or is the real villain hiding behind another mask? With opening night fast approaching, Rebecca must uncover the truth before the final act turns deadly.
The stage is set. The Phantom is real. And he’s closer than she ever imagined.

Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop



Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Morrigan, narrated by Maliah Eleanor!



Abandoned as an infant, Morrigan spent years shuffled around the foster system, never finding a permanent home. People either bullied or avoided her, sensing she was different. She does her best to keep her abilities hidden: the power to move objects with her mind, control fire, and glimpse the future. Believing her dreams of mystical creatures and castles are her imagination, it isn’t until Filtiarn appears, the dark knight of her fantasies and the man tasked with guiding her to the magical land of Tír na NÓg, that she realizes her true identity. Once reunited with her mother and grandmother, will their triad be able to save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil?

The Forgotten Pharoah is FREE on Amazon


Over four thousand years ago, the great Pharaoh Djedefre was cursed for murdering his brother. Centuries later, a team of archaeologists sets out to prove his innocence. Julie Gerber isn't thrilled to be pulled out of school her senior year to follow her parents halfway around the world, but the cute Brit and the sexy young patron of the project make things more exciting ... maybe too exciting.

As the team digs deeper into the mystery, they unearth something they never expected. Animals and people are drained of blood and some simply vanish. Julie knows there's something sinister going on at the excavation site, but with a documentary on the line that could make or break her parents' career, they refuse to walk away. Now the team must find both the ancient murderer and the monster that's hunting them down. With the bodies piling up, only one thing is certain—some secrets are meant to stay buried.


Available exclusively on Amazon.

Unclaimed Mail - Smart Watch & Supplements

My mom opened a few more packages from the large Bup Box, and this batch had a little bit of everything.

She started with a pretty lace top, delicate and feminine. Next was a mixed lot that included a generic smart watch, some hair clips, and nail polish. Finally, she opened a package of supplements.

Stay tuned for more from our Bup Box and our package of 100 small packages from Fun Delivered.

Fall Seasons Of Books Giveaway Hop - Enter to Win Audiobook Copies of Player & Nine Lives!


Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop




Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Player, narrated by Jeremy Gill!!



Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn't take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn't know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn't worth the price he's paying to be a player.


Available on Amazon & Audible



As an added bonus, I'm also throwing in an audiobook copy of my short story Nine Lives which was also narrated by Jeremy and just released this week. 



Johnny might be a nerdy gamer, but not even death can stop him from protecting his kid sister. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if he has to do it in the form of a mangy Tom cat.

Bup Boxes - Fancy Check & Sidewalk Chalk

 Fernando officially burned through all the big boxes in our Bup Box, so today he settled for a few medium‑sized mysteries.

First, he pulled out a very fancy dress he thought was a bedspread at first. It was a size small, so unfortunately Fernando couldn’t squeeze into it to model for us.

Next came a hippie outfit, complete with that incense‑vibe aesthetic. This one I passed along to a work friend.

Finally, he opened a box of sidewalk chalk which I passed on another friend with grandchildren. Nothing ever goes to waste.

Bup Boxes - Christmas Flag & Bathing Suit

My mom went back into the large unclaimed mail box from Bup Boxes and pulled three more mystery packages.

First up was a county Christmas garden flag that Fernando added to his holiday stash.

Next she pulled out a solar light with a built‑in bug zapper which will also be going into the garden

Lastly, she she opened a the bathing suit. This thing looked like it was designed for a beach‑going clown. It's very bright and loud, but it was a two piece with a matching cover.

This box is still pretty full, so be sure to check back to see what other wacky wonder we pull from it.

Stag Hunt is FREE on Amazon

 In ancient Britannia, the warrior who brought down the king stag was named the defender of the land. Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the princess.


Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart. With her brother, her dearest friend, and the country she loves hanging in the balance, Eartha must do the unthinkable to ensure her brother’s victory in the stag hunt. Sometimes true love needs a helping hand...or for blood to be spilled.


Once Upon a Mystery Box — Final Batch of Duds

 This is the last batch from the Once Upon a Mystery Box I split with my friend Heather from I’m in a Zen Garden State of Mind. I had two packages left, and since one of them was a box, I let myself hope that maybe we’d get one item that wasn’t cheap clothing.

Nope. Both were very low quality shorts. At this point, I think it’s safe to say this box was pretty disappointing. Cute fairy‑tale branding, great presentation, but the contents were all Franklin, NJ return items. If you love mystery clothing hauls, maybe it’s your thing, but for us, this one was a miss.

Luckily, I’ve got a large Bup Boxes haul coming up that I’ll be opening with my mom and Fernando and I’ve got a box of 100 small packages from Fun Delivered on the way. I cannot wait to dig into that one!

If you want to revisit the earlier openings, check out our first Once Upon a Mystery Box post.
