New Year, Old Ghosts: Start 2026 with a Bang

Instead of watching the ball drop. Why not curl up with a good book. And not any type of book – a hardboiled detective novel where the mystery unravels and keeps you turning the page.

My new novel, Don’t Kiss Me Goodbye, drops on December 31, 2025. Perfect for the New Year. A perfect antidote to the holiday cheer. If you’re looking for grit, rain-slicked city streets, and a P.I who refuses to stay down. This book is for you to start your year off right.

I’m not the thief. I’m the one trying to pull you out of the wreckage

The Story Copper Steele thought he had buried his past twenty years ago. But when the woman who ruined him returns from the dead with a bullet in her shoulder and a conspiracy in her wake, Steele is forced to reopen the one case he swore he’d never touch.

This isn’t just a detective story. It’s a story about old wounds, dirty politics, and the kind of love that doesn’t just break your heart—it stops it.

What to expect:

• A Disgraced Detective: Copper Steele is fighting for redemption in a city that wants him dead.
• A Femme Fatale: Jasmine Blade proves that some ghosts are more dangerous when they’re alive.
• A Lethal Partner: Shania Savage, who proves she is the deadliest person in the room.
• A Conspiracy: A trail of corruption that leads all the way to the Mayor’s office.

“Ghosts don’t stay dead, Shay. And neither do we.”
