A sunset chase. An isolated coastal road. A death she was never meant to witness.

While driving along California’s rugged coastline with her young daughter asleep in the back seat, a woman finds herself on a remote cliffside road. A drunken stranger won’t leave her alone. The wind howls. Darkness approaches.

Moments later, a horrific accident changes everything.

As terror and confusion mount, she struggles to understand what happened that evening—and why the morning news seems to know more than it should.

Dusk is an atmospheric psychological suspense story that blends dread, mystery, and the supernatural into a chilling tale about fate, fear, and the moments that change us forever.

Excerpt: The drunk wasn’t so drunk that he couldn’t break into mini sprints to catch up to my car.

He may have been yelling something, but I couldn’t make it out beyond the wind screaming at my windows.
