Stormy Valley

A psychological mystery where memory is fragile, reality lies, and even the most familiar places can become haunted.

A small-town sheriff.
A body unearthed.
A mind unraveling by degrees.


Sheriff Johnny McCallister has spent years burying secrets—others’, his own, and one he swore he’d never speak of again. But when a long-missing woman is discovered, the past claws its way to the surface.


As whispers turn to suspicion, and guilt begins to blur with memory, Johnny finds himself chasing answers he may not want to find. Especially when the truth won’t stay still—and neither will the dead.

Some truths were never meant to be read.
