Under the Dark Moon
By Kae Allen
For painter Claire Davies, moving her family to Winslow Manor was supposed to provide them all a chance to slow down and take a break from city life. And while the property has rekindled her creativity and turned her children into explorers, it isn’t long before the secrets surrounding the Winslow family begin to surface.
The gossip mill in the quaint little town of Oak Grove is stunned when Pearl Winslow, the last living member of her family, sells the manor to strangers, and even more when they lay eyes on Claire, who’s the spitting image of the infamous Isabelle Winslow, Pearl’s deceased mother. But Pearl knows the Davies are exactly where she needs them, even though she finds herself happier than expected having them around. With Pearl torn between her growing affection for the young family and her loyalty to her own, only Claire can stop the sinister plot lurking in the shadows of the dusty old house. But only if she’s strong enough when the Dark Moon arrives.

About
Kae Allen
Storyteller. Chaos wrangler. Movie-lover turned mystery writer.
Kae Allen writes stories layered with heart, tension, and just the right amount of eerie charm. Her debut paranormal cozy mystery, Under the Dark Moon, is the first in a series set in the fog-laced town of Oak Grove, where secrets bloom and the past doesn’t stay quiet.
Before ghosts and manor houses, Kae co-authored two humor books that captured the chaos and comedy of motherhood. Her writing has appeared in collaborative author projects, and she’s passionate about crafting stories that feel both entertaining and emotionally honest.
Kae lives in Tennessee with her husband David, a rotating cast of grown kids and grandkids, and one very spoiled dog named Bernie. When she’s not writing, she’s rewatching mystery films, testing out new cookie recipes, or dreaming up new storylines that involve old houses, forgotten diaries, and just a hint of magic.
Her stories are cinematic. Her characters are full of soul. And her goal is simple: make you feel something—and maybe leave a light on at night.
