Detective Liz Ramsey is one focused police professional, until she meets Greg Conyers, an artist with a troubled soul and more. Torn between solving a slew of mounting murders and her ever growing desire to be Greg’s savior from himself, she almost succumbs to an end that could destroy them both. Only in the end does she find and battle the dark lurking monster within Greg, saving both the job and the man she loves.
Ms. McCullough masterfully brings to light the darkness and passion that is deep within us all. In SHADOW OF A DOUBT, she has created a true page turner that challenges the reader to look beyond the obvious until the bitter end. Balancing fiction with fact, she has created a truly unique romance-detective story.

Jinissa is in transport to the king after being accused of witchcraft. The man leading the way hates the Calavrians with a passion because of a Calavrian girl from his past - one who had him beaten for her own sins.
Though he tries to remember to stay angry, Stephan can’t help but fall under the spell of his charge. She defies the image of the evil witch, and instead proves to him that she only has the desire to use her gifts for the right reasons.
Jinissa has her own shameful secret to keep from the king, one that could threaten her country, her life and her newfound love with Stephen.
I was impressed with this book. While it seems to plod along in the beginning, it quickly picks up the pace and sweeps you over the edge. The emotions brought forth here, from the tenderness between Jinissa and Stephan, to the frustrations of their situations, are amazing. It’s incredibly real!
My only issue with this work is that the end felt like it came far too soon! Kudos and props for a job well done!

Alsa needs help. In order to save her village from its greedy neighbors, she decides to seek out a wizard to teach her magic. She gets more than she bargained for!
The wizard Korlen, or Master Korlen, as he tells her to call him, begins teaching her magic in his own strange ways. After he has her clean his home from top to bottom, he begins to put her through exercises to improve her concentration.
Before long, however, Korlen comes calling in the night to collect on his end of the bargain – to get an heir by Alsa. As their time together grows shorter, their relationship builds, and an heir is conceived. But when Alsa asks Korlen to help her defend her village and he refuses, a wedge is driven between them.
After their son is born, Alsa finds that she must go back to Korlen for her safety and that of her son. Will she be able to face Korlen again? Will he accept her with open arms, or hold her at arms length?
Ms. McCullough creates a wonderful fantasy world full of imagery and original ideas. I only wish there had been more time to develop this wonderful story – there were things I wanted to know more about! I was particularly enraptured with the idea of “feeling” the carrot. Never a more humorously serious lesson have I seen given than that!
Well done! I will be keeping an eye on Ms. McCullough for new books, for she has a truly astounding way of writing and wrapping reality into her work to give it a new spin!
