In Bellwick, everybody knows Mrs. Marrow.
She is the kind old woman with soft white hair, warm hands, and a smile that makes people feel like they are home. Every Saturday morning, townsfolk line up outside her cottage for her famous meat pies—golden crust, rich gravy, and a secret recipe she swears came from her grandmother.
Nobody questions why she always sells out.
Nobody questions why the neighboring town keeps losing cats.
Nobody questions why dogs vanish near the old road.
Nobody questions why certain people pass through and are never seen again.
Not until Harold Briggs, a lonely widower looking for companionship, falls in love with Mrs. Marrow and marries her. At first, he thinks he has found peace. Warm dinners. Quiet evenings. A woman who hums while she cooks.
But then Harold finds a collar in the pantry.
Then a wallet.
Then a wedding ring that does not belong to him.
Now Harold must decide whether his sweet old wife is a harmless eccentric with a strange past…
or the most beloved killer Bellwick has ever tasted.
Some recipes are family secrets.
Some secrets should stay buried.

Book 2
After a stay in the hospital, Michael is struggling with a world that no longer feels stable. Time skips, reality glitches, and his only anchors are his music—and his wife. But when his songs start reaching others who sense the same cracks, Michael must confront the unsettling truth: he might not be the only one seeing behind the curtain. This is a journey of self-discovery, balance, and the thin line between control and chaos. Dive into Book 2 of Michael’s story, where reality bends—and the only way forward is through the music he creates.
Right Generation, Wrong Time is a deeply personal reflection on family, legacy, grief, and the weight of time. Darren Reaume shares what it meant to witness multiple generations of his family line, and how that rare gift shaped the way he sees memory, identity, and change. Honest and heartfelt, this book is about what we inherit, what we lose, and what we choose to leave behind.
