They have followed me around my entire adult life and one thing I’ve been dreading returning home to.
But there’s no other place I could possibly call home other than Morris Valley.
My friends and family are there and I’m about to set out on a journey that leaves my wrist aching with phantom pains and coming face-to-face with a man I once feared.
My friends have willingly given him a chance to show he’s changed for them, but I’m not sure I can believe it.
No matter if Gage Redford is now a police officer.
——
I’ve been a horrible person in my past. But with parents like I had, what choice was I given.
Until one day I had enough and did better for not just myself but my sister as well. I gave up being an ass and started to protect those around me.
But there’s still a darkness there that only one person can help eradicate it with her light.
Lilly McArthur is the bright spot in my life, until I open my mouth and all the wrong words come out.
She’s back in town and I’m done lettin’ her get away. She’s about to see the real me whether she wants to or not.

It’s been twenty-five years since she saved the world. Now, it’s time to do it again.
Meg Walker was done being the chosen one. After sealing the Hellgate her senior year, she flipped destiny the bird and walked away.
Or so she thought.
On her 42nd birthday, Meg gets a psychic distress call from her best friend who has been in a coma for decades. Someone is trying to open the Hellgate again.
Going home isn’t just about stopping another apocalypse. It means facing the people she left behind, the friends who became strangers, the grudges that never faded, and the exes who still make her pulse skip.
But time is up. The gate is opening. And Meg isn’t the reckless teen who ran away. She’s sharper, stronger, and ready to remind the universe that saving the world isn’t just for the young.
Reunion is book one in The Hellgate Chronicles, an urban fantasy series for readers who know life doesn’t end at forty. It just gets more badass. Buckle up. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.
Jocelyn Lindsay writes urban fantasy where women over 40 take the lead—saving the world, making questionable decisions, and proving that midlife is just the beginning. Her stories feature sharp-witted, resilient heroines navigating supernatural chaos, complicated relationships, and the kind of life challenges that don’t magically disappear with age. Because here’s the truth: life doesn’t get less interesting at 40—it gets bolder, messier, and a hell of a lot more fun. In her books, midlife isn’t about fading away—it’s about stepping up, owning your power, and embracing the badass years ahead.

My life just hit the skids, hard. After a drug scandal blew up in my face, I’m out of a team, my endorsements are gone, and my bank account’s pretty much empty. So now I’m stuck trying to sell my house to scrape together some cash. The kicker? I’ve got to work with Paige Anderson, the real estate agent with a smile that could light up a room – and the woman I made a complete fool of myself with not too long ago.
Paige has got it all together when it comes to selling houses, but her personal life? Not so much. Her marriage is on the rocks, and she’s doing everything she can to keep it from falling apart. The last thing she needs is to deal with a washed-up, scandal-ridden hockey player like me. But she’s gunning for that big commission, and I guess that’s enough to keep her in the game. Funny thing is, somewhere along the way, I end up being the one she turns to when things get rough.
I didn’t see it coming, but I start to catch real feelings for Paige. It’s a wake-up call that maybe it’s time for me to get my act together and start thinking about what comes next. But Paige has her own baggage, and she’s scared I’ll just end up hurting her like every other guy has.
If we’re going to make this work, we’ve both got to put our fears on ice and take a shot at something real. No guarantees, but maybe, just maybe, we can make it to our own version of a happily-ever-after.

When the world goes dark, survival becomes a whisper away from death.
Marlowe never wanted to spend her week locked in a courthouse serving jury duty. But on the second day, a catastrophic EMP strikes, shutting down power, communication, and society as she knows it. Trapped in a city unraveling into chaos, Marlowe’s only ally is Cristian, a hardened sheriff’s deputy with a past as fractured as the streets they now walk.
Cristian has one goal: get Marlowe to safety and find a way to survive in a world stripped bare. But as fires rage, violent gangs emerge, and desperation becomes the only currency, the pair face dangers far worse than the loss of technology. When Marlowe is injured, her already fragile trust is put to the ultimate test.
To make matters worse, Marlowe isn’t just trying to survive – she’s on a race against time to reach her mother, who’s battling cancer hundreds of miles away. Every step forward feels like a whisper in the dark, and every wrong turn could mean no one is left to hear her scream.
Whispers in the Dark is a heart-pounding, post-apocalyptic story about survival, sacrifice, and the fragile humanity we cling to when the lights go out.
Originally from Northern California, my journey has taken me from the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, Nevada, to the more serene pace of life in Oregon. Amidst the slower rhythm, I’ve discovered a passion for writing that transports me into different worlds
Beyond the written word, I find joy in the simplicity of hiking, indulging in a good book, exploring new destinations (with a particular fondness for cruises), and cherishing quality moments with my family.
While it may sound cliché to admit I harbored dreams of becoming a writer since childhood, the twist lies in my current fascination with apocalyptic scenarios and the unraveling of societal norms. When I embarked on the journey of crafting a full-length novel, my initial attempt delved into the realm of romance, but it didn’t quite capture my creative essence. It wasn’t until the birth of the Duncan Family that I discovered characters and narratives I could truly immerse myself in.
Developing a profound emotional connection with my characters has become both a strength and a challenge; it’s hard to let anyone face demise. Yet, the paradox arises when crafting tales involving zombies – how can one depict the apocalypse without confronting the inevitability of loss?

When amateur sleuth Jessica Watt’s dog unearths a skeleton in an abandoned orchard, she has no idea she’s about to unravel a decades-old mystery that will shake an entire family to its core. What really happened to Paul Brown, who vanished without a trace years ago?
As Jessica investigates, she confronts a tangled web of family secrets: a potential hidden affair, a possible second family, bitter rivalries, and a murder that someone desperately wants to keep buried. With each revelation, the list of suspects grows-Paul’s bitter business partner, his son, or perhaps the woman he spurned.
From the pecan groves of the Texas/New Mexico border to the ranches of Mexico, Jessica will risk everything to expose the truth. But some families guard their secrets with deadly determination, and someone is watching her every move.

I’m a hot-headed pro hockey player with a reputation for two things: reckless fights on the ice and a taste for older women off of it. But this time I might just be in over my head with an older single mom.
With the team’s new head coach on my case, I can’t afford any more screw-ups. He thinks I need to grow up, and I’m out to prove I can get my act together once and for all. In fact, I just hired a realtor to help me buy a house. How’s that for grown up?
Except the realtor turns out to be the quiet, captivating single mom of a boy I mentor on a youth hockey league. I should keep things strictly business, but she knocks me off my skates with those pencil skirts and mom voice.
Molly insists she’s too old for me, and I say opposites attract. As I fight for my spot on the ice and battle some personal demons, she’s juggling an unpredictable pre-teen, an ex who belongs in the penalty box, and a case of insomnia that has me calling new plays between the sheets.
