Behind the Walls

by Merry Jones

Published 4 November 2011
Iraq War veteran Harper Jennings is studying for a degree in Archeology. While cataloguing Pre-Columbian artifacts, she finds a fellow student murdered. Harper's PTSD flares up, and life goes haywire. She hears noises in the walls when she examines the relics—even thinks she sees hunted by a shape-shifter (half human, half jaguar). Are the artifacts cursed? Is her life in danger? The closer Harper gets to the relics, the more danger she faces. The relics can't really be cursed. Can they?

Outside Eden

by Merry Jones

Published 8 April 2013
When Harper Jennings' geologist husband is invited to participate in a global symposium on water, she and their baby accompany him to Israel. While in the Old City of Jerusalem, Harper sees an American in trouble. Because she's with the baby, she doesn't intervene. Later, she finds out he was murdered. When she's invited to take part in a dig fifty miles away, she accepts, thinking it will be safer away from the city. But Hagit, the nanny she hires to watch the baby disagrees, saying that the evil eye is to blame, and that it follows Harper wherever she goes. This is a story of cults, Biblical interpretations, international terrorism, and survival.

In the Woods

by Merry Jones

Published 1 February 2015
A relaxing camping break for Iraqi war vet Harper Jennings and her husband takes an unpleasant turn when Harper stumbles across a dead body

Harper Jennings – mother, Iraqi war vet and archaeology graduate – knows she should be counting her blessings that she’s able to enjoy a child-free camping trip with husband Hank. Hank’s recovery from a brain injury after falling from their roof is nothing short of miraculous. But . . . Harper misses baby Chloe. And she worries that, in being so wrapped up in her toddler, she’s lost her own identity.

But her worries pale into insignificance when she stumbles across a body in the woods. Accident? Harper doesn’t think so, and nor does Ranger Daniels, who seems to blame local militia known as the Hunt Club – who will do anything, it seems, to protect the land they see as their birthright.

Harper wonders what exactly she’s doing, in some dark state forest, tripping over corpses, when she could be at home with her little girl – but when a fellow camper’s husband goes missing, she finds herself reluctantly sucked into the hunt, and into a waking nightmare . . .
