Murder in Her Eyes
by Terrie Leigh Relf

The girl stood by the roadside, her beautiful party dress covered with a boy’s dark jacket, a teddy bear held loosely before her. It was cold outside, almost brutally so, but she seemed comfortable, almost relaxed, despite the blood-stained gauze that partially covered her forehead and eyes. I stopped the car to ask if she needed help, whether I could give her a ride. She climbed into the passenger’s seat with a smile, said “thank you,” and we drove down the rural lane.

The Sisterhood of the Blood Moon

For thousands of Earth years, the Transgalactic Consortium has had a quiet interest in this planet and its inhabitants, the Haurans. While the Sisterhood of the Blood Moon works together with the Consortium and Haurans to maintain balance in the universe, the Blood Moon is fast approaching. The power of this moon reveals untold secrets . . . including a sacred covenant with the Mora Spiders. There is an ancient pact that needs to be honored—but at what cost and for whose purpose? The world may come to an end. But will there be a chance for a new beginning?
