February 17, 2026
Genres: Supernatural Thriller
JuJu Justice is a gritty suspsense drama set in the belly of the New Orleans voodoo culture, pitting a juju priestess against her dangerous childhood nemesis in a war between good and evil.

Deep in the Louisiana river bottoms, the legendary "swamp witch" Mama Moo must decide who to share her juju with—the white light voodoo priestess or the black magic criminal mastermind. Her seemingly obvious choice is complicated by long-buried secrets that will determine who lives or dies.

June Mae, a white-light practitioner, faces off against her childhood nemesis, Mister—a well-connected criminal who practices the dark side of voodoo. When June’s straight-laced sister April drops into town for an unplanned visit, she quickly understands the dangerous world that June inhabits. As the sisters reconcile past traumas and reconnect, June must overcome her fears to face Mister in a voodoo battle to save their lives. Their mentor, the “swamp witch” Mama Moo, faces a perilous choice which will determine who lives or dies.

Do you know who you are?

Not all children are born equal. To say otherwise is a lie. So much is decided for us upon birth. Our name. The skin we live in. The family we're born into. A war-torn country… or a Beverly Hills ZIP code. So much of what shapes us lies beyond our control.

What of our choices? Do they not define us? Or is it the inner child we sacrificed to survive who holds the secrets to who we are?
Laura Malkin went through hell and came out crowned in flames. In the shadowed alleys of Montreal's Underworld, they all whisper the same words: "Beware the Purple Witch and her Little Wolves..."

And so, our tale begins again. Not where the last chapter ended, but where the pieces have landed. After all the lines were drawn, and the dust settled.

The Son of Snow… meets the Daughter of Sand.

Join Maggie and Andrew Wolfgang, her boyfriend and quasi bodyguard, as they travel to Earth and hopscotch across this strange dimension, in pursuit of a story that explains the truth behind Lucifer’s origins, the mutation he unleashed on Earth’s inhabitants, what really happened to the ark following the great flood, and why pyramids dot the planet.

Excerpt:
Maggie and Andrew approached the bar and were relieved they had arrived twenty minutes early. That is, until an attendant approached Maggie and said, “Good evening, Miss McCullough. If you would follow me, I will lead you to your private cabana. Your guest has already arrived and is waiting for you.” Maggie held up her finger and said, “I’ll be right with you.” “Certainly, take all the time you need.” The man moved to the end of the bar and waited discreetly. Maggie grabbed Andrew’s elbow and dragged him to the opposite corner of the bar. She was a little frazzled. “I am not going into a closed tent without you being able to watch me, especially since I have no idea who I’m supposed to be interviewing.” “Tell the waiter you are claustrophobic, and you need one of the side flaps on the cabana removed. That way I can keep an eye on you during the interview.” “Perfect.” Maggie summoned the waiter and explained what she needed. He seemed irritated but, without a word, walked to the cabana and unzipped the side flap, revealing an attractive man of medium build with a head of thick auburn hair lit with natural highlights of red and blond. Hair color to die for, Maggie thought. She squeezed Andrew’s elbow and whispered, “Here goes nothing.”

Andrew didn’t want her interviewee to be alerted to his presence, so keeping a respectable but short distance from Maggie, he nonchalantly whispered, “You’ll do great.” Maggie followed the attendant to the cabana where the man was sitting. He stood as she approached and held her chair out for her. She thanked him and sat. Turning toward the waiter, the stranger authoritatively commanded, “Bring the 1869 Chateau Lafite.” “Very good, sir. Will there be anything else?” “No,” he said dismissively. The waiter left. The man sitting across from Maggie said, “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lucifer, but you can call me Luc.”

“Pleased to meet you.” Maggie extended her hand. The man sitting across from her looked at it with disgust. She slowly withdrew her hand and placed it in her lap. A palpable energy radiated from him and made her skin crawl. Maggie quickly drew a protection spell in her notebook and was relieved when the unsettling sensation abated. Luc addressed Maggie. “There are a few ground rules that will need to be established before we commence.” Maggie said, “Absolutely. Please, continue.” “First, don’t speak unless spoken to. Secondly, there is a lot of information to cover and I will tell you what is important and what isn’t. Lastly, don’t be irritating. Keep your questions relevant and we will get along swimmingly.” What a dick, Maggie thought, but bit her tongue since she was positive such a comment would undoubtedly irritate him. “Duly noted.” “You may proceed and ask your first question.” Maggie jumped right in and asked, “What story do you want to set straight?” Luc chuckled. “I am not the figure humans have made me out to be and I would like to tell my side of the story.”

Anthology: Requiem: Tales of the Undead

Death comes for us all. But for some, it doesn’t stay.
These aren’t just stories about the undead. They’re about what we remember, what we mourn, and the songs that stay with us—long after the last breath fades.

Requiem: Tales of the Undead
Edited by Lisa Mangum with Wendy Christensen
Jan 3, 2026
Publisher: WordFire Press
This collection includes stories from the alumni of Superstars Writing Seminars: Jonathan Maberry, Mary Pletsch, Carol Hightshoe, Gillian Fraser, Edward J. Knight, H.T. Ashmead, J. L. Smyser, L. Briar, Jason Kristopher, Caitlin Barbera, Aaron Canton, Kat Farrow, Lehua Parker, Mike Strickland, Victoria Rivera, Jason P. Crawford, Gabbie Gibson, Lou J Berger, Elizabeth Lowham.

With an all-new zombie story by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry
Death comes for us all. But for some, it doesn’t stay. Mythology and lore are full of undead creatures, and each one has a story to tell—of their life, their death, or their afterlife.

From a haunting melody that leads a ghost to her killer, to a piano that provides salvation during a zombie apocalypse, to a song that grants passage back from death, Requiem: Tales of the Undead offers a chilling chorus of monstrous melodies and ghostly harmonies.

These nineteen imaginative stories feature a wide variety of the undead, each woven with a distinct musical element that explores the connection between life, death, and the supernatural. A vampire working in law enforcement learns that “The driver picks the music.” A mummy trapped in a corporate cubicle struggles to break free and pursue his own song. Death takes piano lessons. And when a special song is played on a specific gramophone, the dead are allowed to answer three final questions.

These aren’t just stories about the undead. They’re about what we remember, what we mourn, and the songs that stay with us—long after the last breath fades.

So, listen closely. The dead have stories to tell. And they’re set to music.
