It's Release Day!
The Yule Cat is on the loose! Go check out The Christmas Cat From Hell on ebook and KU.

Christmas is coming, and the thing Julie wants most in the world is a kitten. But living things can't wait for Christmas morning.

It's a few weeks before the big day, and Julie thinks Christmas has come early when she gets a look at her new pet. He's the cutest, bestest little furry thing ever, or so she thinks.

When her neighborhood gets stranger as people disappear, the whole town gets worried. The big day is approaching, and Julie is sure that her new baby has nothing to do with it. But is she right? Or is her new pet The Christmas Cat From Hell?

D.W. Hitz creates a new take on the mythos of the Yule Cat in this tale of fear, horror, and love.

After reading this book, you'll never look at your cat the same way again.

The Shadow Over Lone Wolf Lake by D.W. Hitz is up for preorder all over! Have you checked out this new epic horror? A magical realism tale, coming of age small town horror in a 450 page tome.

Description:
Sometimes dead doesn't mean dead, and sometimes family is bound by more than blood.

After the death of his cantankerous grandmother, twelve-year-old Drew Kline and his family move into her house. It boasts a vast, fantastic forest, a broad and beautiful lake, and it also happens to be Drew’s father’s childhood home and the place where his young uncle disappeared twenty-five years ago.

The night of his arrival, in the crawlspace of his bedroom, Drew discovers a miniature human skull. It's a curiosity between him and his brother Dean, sparking a debate about whether the thing is real or some well-sculpted decoration. When he invites his friends to spend their last weekend of summer break exploring the property’s woods and his uncle’s clandestine fort, which contains a burial ground of pixie-size bodies, they inadvertently find themselves trapped in a land of the dead.

What follows forces Drew’s father to relive the horrific mystery of his uncle’s disappearance and reveals a long-held family secret that has cursed generations. If Drew and his friends want to return home, they’ll have to survive in that strange land as they fight their way back, and his father will have to confront an evil that will only be satisfied with blood.

About BCM:
Nikka's nightmares could spell her end if she doesn't find a cure. The cure could spell her end if she doesn't follow the rules.

Nikka was a pretty normal high school girl until she saw something horrific through her bedroom window. They told her it was a delusion. That it didn't happen. They told her she was crazy. But whether real or not, the event was stuck in her brain.

Now, after years of unrelenting nightmares, Nikka learns of one last hope, a mystic on the outskirts of Custer Falls who might be able to save her from the terrors that are bleeding into her waking life and driving her to self-destruction.

For the promise of a cure, Nikka makes a deal with the witch: one month of work to end her nightmares. But can she stomach doing the witch's tasks? Or are her bad dreams destined to destroy her?

Welcome back to Custer Falls.
