If you could kill your neighbors & get away with it, would you?

Let’s do the math…

One problematic homeowner.
Four neighbors who want her dead.
So, whodunnit? (show your work)

In the quiet, suburban neighborhood of Ambridge, PA, one resident is causing more than just a headache - she’s stirring up drama, spreading chaos, and making everyone’s life a living hell. That menace's name is Linda and she’s about to find out how far her neighbors will go to get rid of her.
​​​​​​​
As Linda’s increasingly outlandish antics escalate, the frustration of the neighborhood boils over. What begins as petty grievances quickly turns deadly, as each neighbor not-so-secretly dreams of putting an end to Linda’s reign of terror. But when a murder really does take place after several residents were so vocal about wanting her dead, the question remains: who’s responsible?

A dark, hilarious novella filled with shocking twists, How to Kill Your Neighbors is a laugh-out-loud mystery that will leave you guessing until the very last page. Whether it’s a stroke of bad luck or the perfect crime, one thing is for sure - someone’s getting away with murder…

If you could kill your COWORKERS & get away with it, would you?

Let’s do the math…

One incompetent colleague.
An entire department that wants her dead.
So, whodunnit? (show your work)

In a job where the only things more toxic than the coffee are the people drinking it, we learn that sometimes, "team building" may mean covering up a murder... or two.


Everyone has that one coworker - the one they imagine stepping just a little too close to the curb as they accelerate through the parking lot. Maybe it’s the incompetent manager who couldn’t lead a paperclip out of a drawer, or the smug new hire who acts like they run the place after only three months. Around here, it’s not a question of if they need to go. It’s how soon.


Picking up where the hilarious novelette How to Kill your Neighbors leaves off, Raya is just trying to make it to 4pm without catching a felony. But, when petty office drama escalates into full-blown homicide and cover-ups slide neatly between budget meetings and coffee breaks, she realizes the fastest way up the corporate ladder... is by kicking a few bodies off it first.


Filled with true stories of backstabbing coworkers, fake concern and real bloodshed, How to Kill Your Coworkers (and get away with it) is a deliciously dark, wickedly funny, and disturbingly relatable cautionary tale. Perfect for anyone who's ever smiled through gritted teeth at a Monday morning meeting and thought, You could die, and I’d still eat my bagel.

 

Though it can be read as a standalone, it'll make WAY more sense when read after How to Kill Your Neighbors.

What would drive authors to want to kill their own readers?

 

BOOK III in the How To Kill "quick-read" series.

Authors are supposed to entertain their readers - not hunt them. But after years of spoilers posted on release days, entitled DMs, and fans who believe that “constructive criticism” means sending hostile rants to our Gmail at 3 a.m., we thriller authors have decided it’s time to plot a different kind of ending where not every reader will make it to the final chapter.

With alliances forming, secrets spilling, and bodies (real ones) starting to drop, this book club from hell becomes a masterclass in suspense… with a killer punchline. So read carefully. Because this time, the story isn’t asking who will die, it’s asking if you’ll be next on the list.

The invitations have been sent.
If you elect to read this book, consider yourself a plus-one.

Picking up where the hilarious novella How to Kill your Coworkers leaves off, this third installment is hilarious, sharp-tongued, and packed with jaw-dropping twists. How to Kill Your Readers (and get away with it) is proof that sometimes the pen really is mightier than the sword… but the sword gets the job done faster.

I would not recommend as a standalone, it'll make WAY more sense when read in order after How to Kill Your Neighbors and How to Kill Your Coworkers.

If someone were watching, how would you kill them?

 

BOOK IV in the How To Kill "quick-read" series.

You think you know how this ends?
You’ve read the books. You’ve followed the twists. You’ve laughed at the chaos, the bodies, the perfectly timed cover-ups. You think you understand the rules of this story.
You’ve never been more wrong.


When neighbors begin turning up dead - each murder staged with chilling precision to mirror scenes from a local author’s bestselling book series - it feels less like coincidence and more like a message. Someone isn’t just committing murder. They’re recreating fiction… and rewriting it in blood.


Someone is watching… and this person knows Raya’s work well enough to replicate it… and knows her life well enough to weaponize it. The details aren’t just accurate, they’re intimate.


As suspicion tightens around her and bodies continue to surface, Raya is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: this isn’t about the books. It’s about her.


In How to Kill Your Stalker (and Get Away with It) - the darkest installment yet - no one is safe, and the truth is far more dangerous than the lies.
Because this time, the ending isn’t hers to write. Whoever is behind this isn’t just trying to frame her. They’re trying to finish her.

 

I would not recommend as a standalone, it'll make WAY more sense when read in order after How to Kill Your Neighbors and How to Kill Your Coworkers and How to Kill Your Readers.
