My current WIP is titled
Eli Rye
Book 1
Confessions

  New York Times bestselling author, Alexa Davis, known for the passion she puts into researching details for her novels, is about to take on her biggest challenge yet. Wanting to write a book based on serial killers, there is only one way she knows to get the juicy details. After jumping through hoops, she has been granted permission to interview one of the most feared serial killers alive, Eli Rye.

  Alexa is scheduled to have five one hour interviews with Eli, one week before he is to be put to death. Eli, feeling a bond between himself and Alexa, tells her of his dark secret, the monster he really is and of murders yet to happen. Disturbed by what he has told her, Alexa considered canceling the rest of the interviews. Curiosity getting the best of her, she decides other wise. At the last session, Eli tells Alexa what is going to happen after he is put to death. His spirit will be set free to pick up where he left off. Alexa, not believing everything Eli had told her, but thinking it would be good for her book, soon realizes the truth. Now she wishes she had never met him. 

I'm planning a set of two shorts for this title running around 10,000 - 15,000 words each. The first book will be released for free. The second will be released as a set of book 1 an 2 price yet to be determined.
