New resource page

I know I don’t update the news section very often–I mostly rely on my Facebook author page and my newsletter. I did create a resource page that has series order, a complete book list, a printable book list, and even a map of Lantern Beach–just for starters. 

Please check out the page if you have questions about any of my books. I hope this new section might provide you the answers you need!

Hi, all!

I know it’s been a long time since I posted a news update here. My apologies!

I wanted to give you a quick update for 2019. Here’s my tentative publishing schedule.

I plan on releasing six books in the Lantern Beach P.D. series January – June. I also have a Love Inspired Suspense novel called the Cradle Conspiracy releasing in August.

I also plan on releasing a new Squeaky Clean novel, a new Holly Anna novel, a new Worst Detective Ever novel, and a new Fog Lake Suspense novel. I’d like to write another Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense novella, as well.

In August, I’ll have a novella called Afterglow release with a collection called Summer of Suspense.

Whew. That about does it! I already have some plans for a new series I’m releasing in 2020, so I have lots of stories swimming around in my head!

I’ll try to keep this site updated as I have definite release dates.

Blessings,
Christy

Wait Until Dark is now available!

ChristyBarritt_WaitUntilDark_HRWait Until Dark, the third book in the Carolina Moon series, is now available!

A woman grieving broken dreams. A man struggling to regain memories. A secret entrenched in folklore dating back two centuries.

Antiquarian Felicity French has no clue the trouble she’s inviting in when she rescues a man outside her grandma’s old plantation house during a treacherous snowstorm. All she wants is to nurse her battered heart and wounded ego, as well as come to terms with her past. Now she’s stuck inside with a stranger sporting an old bullet wound and forgotten hours.

Coast Guardsman Brody Joyner can’t remember why he was out in such perilous weather, how he injured his head, or how a strange key got into his pocket. He also has no idea why his pint-sized savior has such a huge chip on her shoulder. He has no choice but to make the best of things until the storm passes.

Brody and Felicity’s rocky start goes from tense to worse when danger closes in. Who else wants the mysterious key that somehow ended up in Brody’s pocket? Why? The unlikely duo quickly becomes entrenched in an adventure of a lifetime, one that could have ties to local folklore and Felicity’s ancestors. But sometimes the past leads to darkness . . . darkness that doesn’t wait for anyone.

 

Surprise! It’s a Squeaky Clean Novella!

ChristyBarritt_SweptAway_HRAs a surprise to all my dear Squeaky Clean readers, I’ve released Swept Away, a honeymoon novella!

Finding the perfect place for a honeymoon, away from any potential danger or mystery, is challenging. But Gabby’s longtime love and newly minted husband, Riley Thomas, has done it. He has found a location with a nonexistent crime rate, a mostly retired population, and plenty of opportunities for relaxation in the warm sun.

Within minutes of the newlyweds’ arrival, a convoy of vehicles descends on a nearby house, and their honeymoon oasis is destroyed like a sandcastle in a storm. Despite Gabby’s and Riley’s determination to keep to themselves, trouble comes knocking at their door—literally—when a neighbor is abducted from the beach directly outside their rental.

Will Gabby and Riley be swept away with each other during their honeymoon . . . or will a tide of danger and mayhem pull them under?

Holly’s community has come together to help raise funds to save the home of Greg and Babette Sullivan, but a Bah-Humburgler has snatched the canisters of cash. Holly and her boyfriend, police detective Chase Dexter, team up to catch the Christmas crook.

Christian Mystery, Suspense and Romance…All Rolled into One Book!

The tenth book in the Squeaky Clean series is now available for Kindle, Nook, iBooks, and Kobo. Get your copy today!

When Gabby St. Claire’s ex-fiancé, Riley Thomas, asks for her help in investigating a possible murder at a couples retreat, she knows she should say no. She knows she should run far, far away from the danger of both being around Riley and the crime.

But her nosy instincts and determination take precedence over her logic. At the retreat center she feels like she’s stepped into the pages of a creepy gothic novel: an isolated island that’s often foggy, an old lodge with a dark history, and a small pool of suspects who each have either motive, means, or opportunity for murder. When another life is threatened, the risk intensifies.

Gabby and Riley must work together to find the killer. In the process, they have to confront demons from their past and deal with their present relationship. If they don’t learn to trust each other, they could both end up as fodder for the supposedly cursed island’s folklore.
