I’ve been quiet today—and probably will be for the next few. I’m deep in the final chapters of the next Texas Thriller of Murder and Betrayal. The ending’s taking shape, and soon I’ll be in editor mode. Keep an eye out for teasers and exclusive first looks… the next body drop is coming.

Get a free taste of the mystery that started it all. In the opening chapters of Teardrops of Lake Tawakoni, David & Loretta Smitty step into a case soaked in silence, grief, and something colder than water. The lake doesn’t just hold secrets—it protects them. Read the sample now and feel the first ripple.

Something’s wrong. David & Loretta Smitty have been called in, but the town isn’t talking—and the silence feels rehearsed. The air is heavy. The scene is precise. And whatever’s happening here didn’t start with them. It won’t end with them either. Something is coming. And last night, it got closer.

In 2019, surveyors near Lake Tawakoni uncovered shallow, unmarked graves—no headstones, no records, just silence and bones. The land was once a forgotten homestead, abandoned in the 1940s. The remains were never identified. Locals say the site was quietly fenced off, but the questions linger: Who were they burying—and why didn’t they want them found?

Locals say if you hear crying near Lake Tawakoni at dawn, don’t follow it. The Wailing Woman—drenched in fog and grief—calls for her lost daughter, Lila. Campers report sobbing, wet footprints, and dreams of drowning. She vanished decades ago, but the lake never forgets. And neither does she.

Beneath the surface of Lake Tawakoni, the water holds more than silt and secrets—it holds stories that were never meant to be unearthed. In the quiet hush of dawn, where mist curls like breath over the shoreline, a single clue threatens to unravel everything. This post dives into the forensic fragments, emotional echoes, and buried truths that inspired Teardrops of Lake Tawakoni. Some mysteries drown. Others claw their way back.

The woods around Lake Tawakoni fall silent before something happens. No wind. No crickets. Just stillness—and then the bonfires. Locals whisper about shadowed figures, bone circles, and symbols that bleed sap. No arrests. No answers. Just rumors. And the occasional missing person. I didn’t want to believe it either. Until I saw the clearing.
