      <image:caption>At ten years old, Sanford Crow uncovered the darkest truth a child could face: his father was a serial killer. It was 1969, and Sanford dreamed of becoming a detective. Following instincts he didn’t yet understand, he investigated his own home, and what he discovered shattered his world. Twenty-five years later, Sanford is a divorced, recovering alcoholic raising his eight-year-old daughter and working as a crime scene cleaner, while trying to outrun his past. When a new string of murders begins to mirror his father’s crimes, Sanford is dragged back into the nightmare he’s spent decades trying to forget—one that forces him to question his memories, his past, and even his own mind.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books &amp; Publications - THE VIEW FROM MAPLE HILL</image:title>
      <image:caption>The cemetery in Maple Hill isn't where the dead are buried. It's where they're kept. When thirteen-year-old Luke Mackey moves with his family to the quiet town of Maple Hill, he expects a fresh start. What he finds instead is a cemetery that never feels empty... and a past that refuses to stay buried. After his brother's sudden death, grief fractures Luke's family and opens something inside him he doesn't understand. As the town's history slowly unravels, Luke discovers that Maple Hill is more than a resting place for the dead. It is a prison. And something ancient has been feeding there for centuries. He is drawn into a nightmare that spans generations, and forced to confront the terrifying truth about who he is, where he came from, and what he may become. The View from Maple Hill is a supernatural horror about grief, legacy, and the thin line between light and corruption. A story of family, sacrifice, and the haunting question of whether evil is born... or chosen. Begin reading now for free on Wattpad.</image:caption>
