Upside Down

  Woman in a showdow and smokey background


After his sister Shelly’s funeral, Caleb feels the world collapse—and then it literally turns. He awakens suspended beneath reality, standing on a sheet of opaque glass, hearing only muffled echoes from above. This inverted purgatory—the Upside Down—is a place where grief takes form, where emotions are stripped raw, and where the facades people wear in the “real” world dissolve into their truest, most broken selves. He’s not alone. Maddy, the woman he once loved and lost, has been trapped down here for years. But she isn’t the Maddy he remembers. This version is unfiltered, devastated, and bracingly honest. Her first words cut through him: “I’m devastated you’re here.” The deeper Caleb wanders, the more he realizes this realm isn’t just his grief. Many exist both above and below—their surface selves calloused, guarded, and numb, while their inverted counterparts writhe with the pain they’ve buried. It’s a haunting revelation: nearly everyone carries unspoken traumas powerful enough to fracture reality itself. But not everyone wants to heal. Sebastian, a figure born of unrelenting anguish, thrives in this world of shadows and suffering. His presence proves that unaddressed pain doesn’t just trap—it consumes. And he’ll do anything to keep Caleb and Maddy from escaping. To become whole again, Caleb and Maddy must confront not only the betrayals and secrets that broke them apart, but also the family wounds and hidden truths that have chained them here. Together, they must decide: face the traumas that destroyed them… or surrender to the Upside Down forever, where strangers wear the faces of who they used to be. And with their counterparts in the real world no longer speaking, staying below means letting each other go for good. Upside Down is a psychological thriller of grief, love, and survival—where healing means braving the rawest parts of ourselves, and where not everyone wants to be saved.

Under Fluorescent Lights

 Sillohette of woman in front of a city out the window.


Under Fluorescent Lights


In the glossy world of corporate ambition, the real game is played behind closed doors… and someone is always watching.

At Valor & Watts, a global consulting firm with offices in Madrid and London, success is measured in strategy decks, whispered alliances, and perfectly timed betrayals. Into this world steps the French girl. She is elegant, ambitious, and disturbingly unreadable. From the moment she arrives, rumors follow her: Why Madrid? Why now? And what is she really after?

As she rises through the ranks, she navigates icy colleagues, corporate politics, and a dangerously magnetic connection with Jack, a married British manager who knows how to play the game... and how to break the rules.

But under the fluorescent lights, secrets fester. A missed client meeting. A forbidden romance. An anonymous email that changes everything. As her carefully curated image begins to crack, the question becomes not just how far she’ll go... but who’s already plotting her downfall.

Tense, addictive, and razor-sharp, Under Fluorescent Lights is a scandal-filled tale of ambition, betrayal, and the high cost of being seen.

Murder on the Hawaiian Coast

   Beautiful image of the Hawaiian Coast


Murder on the Hawaiian Coast
When the body of Dorian Veynar—the ruthless tycoon who built a tourism empire across the Hawaiian Islands—is discovered on his Waikīkī estate, paradise is shattered. What begins as a serene morning overlooking Diamond Head turns into the scene of a shocking murder that sends tremors through Honolulu’s elite. Detective Keoki Tanaka, a man whose roots run deep into the volcanic soil of Hawai‘i, is called to unravel the truth behind Veynar’s violent death. The investigation draws him into a labyrinth of suspects: a fiery former lover humiliated in public, a calculating business partner with everything to gain, employees betrayed and discarded, and islanders whose sacred lands were desecrated by Veynar’s greed. From the glittering resorts of Honolulu to the quiet coastlines of Maui, Tanaka navigates webs of power, betrayal, and ancestral claims. As the body count rises and old grudges resurface, he must untangle lies buried beneath paradise’s postcard-perfect facade. Each clue points to hidden motives, each alibi crumbles under scrutiny, and every revelation pulls him closer to a killer driven by ambition, vengeance, or both. Rich with Hawaiian atmosphere and steeped in suspense, Murder on the Hawaiian Coast is a gripping whodunnit where paradise itself becomes the stage for a deadly reckoning. In a world where beauty masks danger, Detective Tanaka must uncover the truth before the islands’ darkest secrets claim another life.

DOOMSDAY PLANET

 Interplanetary Battle


DOOMSDAY PLANET
The world’s richest man just made a killer deal with an alien species; he’s sold them the human race! Astronaut Marcus Reno dies in a lunar accident, only to be resurrected by a race of benevolent time travelers to command a regiment of warriors plucked from Earth’s past. Their mission: save humanity from an invasion by the Zagan—tyrannical aliens working in cahoots with Earth’s richest man, who’s eager to leap from oligarch to god. With doomsday imminent, Reno leaps into battle with only a band of Viking berserkers, and a tenacious WW2 Soviet aviatrix at his side. Together they must assault a Zagan base hidden on a prehistoric, dinosaur-infested planet. Between the Zagans’ guns and the dinosaurs’ jaws, their chances are slim . . . but is it still a suicide mission when, technically, they’re already dead? … “Doomsday Planet is part military thriller, part time-travel epic, and all-out action. Melds gallows humor, speculative madness, and cinematic pacing into a genre fusing space adventure. Beneath the chaos is a meditation on sacrifice, and the costs of playing god.” The Prairies Book Review

The Writing on the Wall by Molly Day

 Young Women in front of Police Caution Tape


Famous crime novelist Kennedy Clark is drawn into a police investigation when someone begins copying the murders in her books. Horrified, she is determined to do whatever she can to help catch the killer.


Detective Levi Varrone doesn’t like anything about these cases, including having a civilian involved. There is something different about them compared to the “average” murder. His instincts have never failed him before but going up against someone like this will take everything in both him and his partner Chelsea Strong, who has her own motivations.


Will they be able to catch the killer before it’s too late? Especially once they seem to be targeting Kennedy specifically...


Excerpt:


“What are we looking at here?” Levi asked the first officers to the scene after showing his badge.


“A woman hung upside down by electrical cords with the letter C carved into her forehead,” an officer said a bit queasily. “We don’t know cause of death yet.”


“I think I know,” Strong said grimly.


Levi raised an eyebrow. “You do? We just got here.”


“I recognize this setup too. The electrical cords…the letter C…it’s from Kennedy Clark’s book Three to Make Ready. In that book, the victim was electrocuted.”


Kennedy Clark again! Was this the same killer? Were they just choosing random victims to reenact Clark’s books with?


Levi didn’t want to believe they were dealing with a serial killer who was able to change their MO so easily. That would make them much harder to catch.


“We need to ID her first and foremost. See if this was someone close to her who just copied Clark’s book to throw us off,” Levi said grimly.


“And if it wasn’t? What if this is the same nutjob who killed Skidmore?” Strong demanded.


“Then we have a serial killer on our hands. One who is a major fan of Kennedy Clark.”

Review:

Molly Day’s “The Writing on the Wall” is a taut, emotionally charged mystery-drama that blurs the line between fiction and reality in chilling fashion. With a premise that hooks from the start—a crime novelist whose fictional murders begin manifesting in real life—Day crafts a slowburn thriller that’s as psychologically compelling as it is suspenseful.

At the heart of the novel is Kennedy Clark, a bestselling author whose vivid imagination becomes a liability when a killer begins reenacting scenes from her books. Day deftly explores Kennedy’s inner turmoil, guilt, and fear, especially as suspicion turns toward her. 

From the start, there is undeniable tension between Kennedy and Detective Levi Varrone, whose skepticism and grit make him a formidable foil. Their dynamic, along with Levi’s partner Chelsea Strong—who harbors her own motivations—adds layers of complexity to the investigation.

Day’s writing is cinematic, with visceral imagery and sharp dialogue. The descriptions of crime scenes are haunting and evocative, successfully setting the tone for a story that doesn’t flinch from the macabre. Yet beneath the horror lies a poignant exploration of obsession, family loyalty, and the burden of creativity. 

Kennedy’s relationship with her sister Reagan, a lawyer fiercely protective of her, injects warmth and humanity into the narrative, grounding the protagonist in a world that feels lived-in and emotionally resonant.

The novel’s structure, beginning with a present-day interrogation and flashing back to Kennedy’s writing struggles and personal triumphs, creates a compelling dual timeline that mirrors the unraveling mystery. 

“The Writing on the Wall” is more than a whodunit; it’s a meditation on the power of storytelling and the dangerous allure of fame. As Kennedy grapples with the consequences of her own imagination, readers are invited to question the boundaries between the author and the audience, between fiction and reality. Molly Day delivers a gripping, layered narrative that lingers long after the final page.

Our verdict: This book is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, crime fiction, and character-driven drama.
