A Legacy Lost, A Fate Unraveled*

The Weeping Past: A Forbidden Legacy—a trilogy of fate, secrecy, and survival. Hidden deep in Washington’s mountains, the feuding Lipsky, Holiday, and McAllister clans live in isolation, bound to the twisted traditions of an ancient druid order.

DELIVER UNTO ME THAT WHICH

IS MINE


A Novella by Clay Stoner


For readers of Cormac McCarthy, Donald Ray Pollock, and Stephen King.


In the dark, quiet corners of rural America, some debts never stay buried. When a long-hidden secret resurfaces, it sets off a relentless reckoning where justice and vengeance become indistinguishable. Bleak, atmospheric, and deeply psychological, this novella explores the heavy toll of guilt and the haunting power of memory. Clay Stoner delivers a taut, unsparing tale of grief and retribution that will keep you turning pages late into the night.



THE BOVINE EFFECT


A Novella by Clay Stoner


For readers of Mitch Albom, Stephen King, and Kent Haruf.


Age takes its toll relentlessly—robbing strength, time, and long-abandoned dreams. For most, the quiet decline of growing old is an unavoidable truth. But when an impossible opportunity arises on a rural farm, offering an unbelievable second chance at physical vitality and renewed youth, it demands a reckoning with everything that came before. As old regrets resurface and temptation takes root, those granted this strange gift must decide what they are willing to surrender for another shot at their prime. Clay Stoner delivers a haunting, deeply human exploration of mortality, regret, and the terrifying cost of turning back the clock.



THE MEADOW BEYOND THE RISE


A Novella by Clay Stoner


For readers of Richard Powers, Edward Abbey, and Stephen King.


Where fertile pastures and generations of agricultural heritage once stretched to the horizon, asphalt, concrete, and relentless suburban development now consume the countryside. As greedy developers press forward and open space vanishes, the earth itself begins to resist. What starts as inexplicable natural occurrences soon escalates into an ancient, visceral force rising up to protect what remains from human greed. Clay Stoner crafts a suspenseful, atmospheric tale of environmental reckoning, asking a terrifying question: What happens when the land decides to fight back?
