Stay Illogical

What would you do if someone you cared about just... disappeared?

Nattie Rosen thought Derek Raleigh was part of her past—until one of his clients vanishes without a trace. Now she's pulled back into his world, racing against time to find Susan Bentley, a missing mother of two. But this isn't just about Derek's reputation anymore. As the clock ticks and clues grow scarce, Nattie and Derek must navigate more than just a dangerous investigation—they have to face the complicated feelings they never fully buried. Can they solve the mystery of what happened to Susan before it's too late? And can two people who once had everything find their way back to each other while everything falls apart around them?

Meet The Author

My name is Kristin Lynn Miller. I am from a city in Texas you've probably never heard of--Mesquite. It's not far from Dallas. No, it's nothing like the long-running television show.

When I think of home, I think of these things (in no particular order): The Cowboys (football), barbecue (smoked, sliced, mouth-watering), Grandy's (the greasiest food you will ever eat), 100+ temperatures, Studio Movie Grill, Half Price Books, overheated, overworked people, random snow day (just one usually, if at all), and hostile drivers (It's So Hot in Texas)! It's the sort of place where two people could almost get into a fistfight over singing the songs from "The Lion King." True story.

Since the moment my grandfather put a pencil in my four-year-old hand, I have been writing stories. With an insatiable love of learning, writing has always come naturally to me. My characters are relatable and beloved--and quite noisy in my head when not given enough attention.

With three completed novels (and a dozen in the works), a handful of short stories, and an expansive supernatural series, known as The Troublemakers series, I take my readers on a journey of love, life, mystery, excitement, danger, and all-around fun!

Stay Illogical

Best friends who read between the lines... and aren't afraid to tease you about it.

"'Did you get your stuff at least? Or were you both so wound up in passion, you forgot a second time?'"

"'Juliette, you're crazy...And yes, I got my stuff back. He was more than happy to give it to me.'"

"'I'll bet he was.' Juliette giggled."

Stay Illogical Chapter 24.

We all need a Juliette in our lives.

All Around Me

Book 1 in Troublemakers Series

"The Tlahuelpuchi shape-shifts into birds, fireballs, and beasts. She hunts infants by heartbeat and has three days to feed—or she dies. Two rules: tell no one. Never feed on family."

"The Gjakpire relies on trickery, not strength. It exploits the goodness of strangers who stop to help the injured, the unconscious, the helpless. Compassion becomes their fatal mistake."

"The Nelapsi doesn't need to feed—it kills for sport. With two hearts and a competitive streak, it spreads sickness wherever it goes. Death is a game, and it's winning."

For generations, a curse has lurked in the bloodline. Waiting. Hungry. Patient. When a girl in this family becomes a woman, the transformation may begin. And once it starts, there's no going back.

One sister made a choice to survive. The other paid the price.

Spanning from 1764 to 1905, ALL AROUND ME weaves together real folklore that terrified generations, forbidden love in impossible times, and a family curse that refuses to stay buried.

No safety. No peace. No mercy.
