New Release: Condemned, by Sharon Gerlach

Running Ink Press is thrilled to announce the newest release of Sharon GerlachCondemned, the sequel to The Wyckham House (December 2011).

Tools that relocate themselves. Shadows glimpsed from the corner of one’s eye. The feeling of being watched when no one’s there.

It’s all in a day’s work for the crew renovating Bayview Manor, a dilapidated mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Olympic Peninsula. Rachael Payne is delighted to be involved in renovating the Manor, and it doesn’t hurt that the new owner, Geoffrey Windsor, is exciting in his own right. It doesn’t bother her that the mansion’s dark history is shrouded in rumor and legend, because she doesn’t believe in ghosts.

Geoffrey doesn’t share her enthusiasm for his house. From its mysterious origins to the strange current events, he’s certain something walks in Bayview Manor, unseen by the human eye. And he wonders if Rachael’s faith in God protects her from the forces within the mansion…or blinds her to them.

Three thousand miles away, Kimberly and Aaron Schaefer (The Wyckham House) discover that happily-ever-after takes some work, especially when Kimberly begins having precognitive dreams of Rachael Payne and the still-missing Caleb Schaefer, her husband’s black-magic uncle, and of Caleb being trapped in Bayview Manor. When the widow of Caleb’s deceased minion starts a rumor that destroys the Schaefers’ marriage, Kimberly makes a reckless and daring decision that could change all their lives forever.

New Release: The Wyckham House, by Sharon Gerlach

Running Ink Press is thrilled to announce the newest release of Sharon GerlachThe Wyckham House.

From the author of Malakh comes dark tale of black magic, obsession, and the price of covenants with the fallen.

The Wyckham House has stood for centuries, its origin unknown, its history black and bloody. Aaron Schaefer came away from his experience with “the devil’s mansion” with amnesia and an aversion to specific people…and to the full moon.

When Kimberly Owens’ father disappears in Aaron’s town, she gives no heed to the potential danger. Reckless and rash, armed only with a borrowed identity, a false sense of indestructibility, and a precognitive dream that leads her to Aaron, she breezes into town – only to find herself entangled in the sticky web of a black magic priest whose obsession with her grows with every passing day.

As Kim becomes inexplicably ill and all evidence indicates her father left town of his own accord, she delves into Aaron’s mysterious past, searching for clues to lead her to her father. All evidence points to the Wyckham House.

Only one man has gone there and returned alive. But even if Aaron could remember what happened to him, he doesn’t want to.

For there are worse things than death.

New Release: The Secret Dreams of Sarah-Jane Quinn, by Sharon Gerlach

Running Ink Press is thrilled to announce Sharon Gerlach’s newest release, The Secret Dreams of Sarah-Jane Quinn, the follow-up novel to Office Politics.

Sarah-Jane Quinn has many secret dreams: to own the bed-and-breakfast inn where she stayed as a child; to finally capture the elusive Coleridge “Collie” Tate, on whom she has an enormous crush; and most importantly, to be someone’s top priority for once in her life.

But Collie is a single father with a potential custody battle on his hands, and Sarah ranks roughly Number 917 on his list of concerns. So when Gus Haldemann, the sophisticated director of Human Resources, shows a marked interest in her, she finds it not only flattering (and mystifying), but decidedly tempting and irresistible.

And then Sarah is brutally attacked by a violent stalker. In the aftermath, she must re-evaluate her priorities and decide which man reaches deepest into her heart – and let the other go forever.

New Release: Office Politics, by Sharon Gerlach

Running Ink Press is thrilled to announce the first full-length release of Sharon GerlachOffice Politics.

Malaria is nothing a good dose of quinine can’t handle.

At least that’s what software training specialist Frannie Freeman thinks when her vile office manager Malia—aka Malaria—unexpectedly marries their boss Sam, whom Frannie has loved for years. Certain it’s only a matter of time before Sam comes to his senses, she hides her heartbreak behind sarcastic humor and copious amounts of tequila.

Exceptional at everything except romantic relationships, Frannie is still waiting two years later. When Sam suddenly confides in her that he believes he was roofied the night of his surprise Las Vegas wedding, it seems too good to be true. And it isn’t long before she realizes that’s exactly what it is.

A quick little divorce seems the ticket, but Malia’s father has other things in mind. Garland Harper is determined to stop his daughter’s downward spiral, and he isn’t afraid to use whatever means comes to hand—such as Sam’s “saving people” complex. And if that doesn’t work—as the CEO of the company for which they work, Harper has sufficient means to make good on his threat that if Sam reneges on his agreement to stay with Malia until she’s dry, the only bars Frannie will see for many years won’t be offering tequila.

Now, faced with letting Sam go forever or fighting for her heart’s desire, Frannie prepares for battle with a woman’s three best weapons—a loyal heart, a willingness to fight dirty, and the strongest margarita money can buy.

April 10 Launch!

Welcome to Running Ink Press! We’re launching our site with Sharon Gerlach‘s novella MALAKH, and we couldn’t be more excited about our first release.

HE HUNTS, SILENT AND UNSEEN

The string of mutilated bodies points to a madman, but the police are stymied. Trace evidence yields no DNA, animal or human. Male, female, young, old—the victims fall without a struggle to the killer in the shadows.

HIS NEXT VICTIM HAS BEEN CHOSEN

For a brief time, Suzanne Harper wielded supernatural abilities and super-human athletic prowess, but that was while she had been the lover of an angel. The murders point to her former lover, and the trail of bodies tells a terrifying tale: he’s working his way to her.

PREY BECOMES PREDATOR

Icarus, an angel who hunts those of his kind who have fallen from grace, enlists Suzanne’s help to stop the killer, for only one as close as a lover can anticipate his next move. Now she must reconcile her heart’s longing for her lost love with her sense of justice and honor, and she must do it fast … because the next murder could be hers.
