If you enjoyed the award winning Book One and Book Two, you will love Onyx Webb: Book Three!

As with Book Two, this next book promises to be just as twisted, dark, and creepy as the web of stories continues to be carefully constructed.  Book Three continues to follow the billionaire Mulvaney family including Koda’s obsession with the ghost girl and his grandfather Declan’s sordid history with the mob, paranormal show hosts Cryer and Fudge, and of course the story of Onyx Webb whose life may finally be ended.

As unrelated as it all seems, the web is slowly being strung together so that the full story of every character and most importantly, the stunning conclusion for Onyx Webb herself will eventually be revealed.

My Thoughts Onyx Webb Series by Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton


This award winning series has been on my “TBR” (to be read) list for a long time.  You may wonder why.  After all, I don’t usually read books with paranormal and horror elements.  However, this series has so much going for it and really has a bit of something for everyone.  My favorites are the historical elements wrapped in literary prose.

I am also a huge fan of quirky characters and the ‘Onyx Webb’ series has quirky characters galore, including Onyx, herself! These characters are also unique in that they are not all even living! Of course there is plenty of humor along the journey through the series.

There are lots of creepy elements but nothing this wimp, couldn’t tolerate and they really added to the story. It’s quite difficult for me to describe the plot to you because there is so much going on but you can read the three book descriptions below.  Be forewarned, this series is addictive and you must start it from book one to really know what’s going on.  Book one sets it up.  I can hardly wait to dig in to books four, five, and six! You cannot read just one!

Description Onyx Webb, Book One by Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton


The Onyx Webb series follows the unusual life of Onyx Webb along with a central group of characters in various locations and times. The billionaire Mulvaney family, piano prodigy Juniper Cole and her brother Quinn, paranormal show hosts Cryer and Fudge, and a few others make up the core of the series.

Written like a book version of a supernatural soap opera, each character’s story moves forward with most every episode. It may appear that the characters are entirely unrelated and yet episode by episode, the connections will become clearer. Like being an inch away from a spider web, with each book, the web will move further and further away revealing the full story of every character and most importantly, the stunning conclusion for Onyx Webb herself.

Description Onyx Webb, Book Two by Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton


Onyx Webb is a complex multi-genre mash-up that combines elements of supernatural suspense, crime, horror, romance, and more. The Onyx Webb series follows the unusual life of Onyx Webb along with a central group of characters in various locations and times.

The billionaire Mulvaney family, piano prodigy Juniper Cole and her brother Quinn, paranormal show hosts Cryer and Fudge, and a few others make up the core of the series. Written like a book version of your favorite TV series (think: supernatural soap opera like American Horror Story) each character’s story moves forward with most every episode. It may appear that the characters are entirely unrelated and yet episode by episode, the connections will become clearer. Like being an inch away from a spider web, with each book, the web will move further and further away revealing the full story of every character and most importantly, the stunning conclusion for Onyx Webb herself.

Praise for Onyx Webb Series by Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton


Onyx Webb: Book One was selected as a Horror/Suspense Finalist in the 2016 IAN Book of the Year Awards!

“This is an interesting story. I liked how you could follow the different people and just knew that there was more to the story. Onyx keeps adding hints that make it feel like it is linked together. I liked all of the characters; they were descriptive and kept me wanting to find out more about them. I admit that I liked Onyx the best so I loved her story and narrations more than Juniper and Koda’s stories.  5 stars”- JBronder Book Reviews

” I found my new favorite book when I opened the first pages of ONYX WEBB. There is not a dropped thread in this exciting, engrossing, riveting, incredible paranormal, suspenseful, supernatural, mysterious, time-switching, multi-character serial…I realize how Dickens’ audience must have felt, hanging on from week to week with bated breath for the newest installment…ONYX WEBB is a story in a class by itself. I can see it becoming a cult classic–and why not? I certainly plan to read it over and over and over again…because in the words of Jacqueline Susann: “Once is not enough. 5 Stars”- Mallory Heart Reviews

“A must read! Onyx Webb Book 2 offers so much to readers. Suspense is so thick readers will go crazy with what will happen next as they follow each of the interesting characters. The characters pop out from the pages and create an air of drama and adventure that will keep readers turning the pages.”- Danielle Urban

” I raved about the first installment with a five star review. The second one is even better and I am completely hooked. I am repeating myself when I say that the writing and pacing are terrific and that all the main characters are very well drawn and realistic Some are very likable and some not. Highly recommended. 5 stars”- James Tepper, Vine Voice

“As the author’s promised, these next three episodes start tying together the characters from past to future. I knew things were going to be revealed. I knew it would get darker, scarier. And I knew there would be new mysteries and questions. What I didn’t expect was for this story to explode. I couldn’t believe how excited, grossed out, and happy I became. I can’t begin to imagine! Every time I thought I knew something, especially about Onyx, I was given another enigma.
As old characters entered the story, and new ones were introduced, I got more excited to read what was in store for them. These authors pull no punches.  So many breath stealing scenes make these some excellent new episodes  I promise you, it’s hypnotic and unpredictable. Oh, and addictive. I should also point out, it’s meant to be read in order so make sure you start at the beginning. 5 stars” Laura Thomas, FuOnlyKnew

Interview with Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton

TR: Please tell us something about the book that is not in the summary.  (About the book, character you particularly enjoyed writing etc.)

One of the things that is not in the book or in any of the summaries is how much of the book series falls into the ‘crime’ genre which we both enjoy writing. Of course that’s where the mystery comes in. But we really focus on the paranormal aspects of the book but there is major plot involving a serial killer as well as the FBI.  

TR: All of your characters are so unique, how did you come up with the title character, Onyx?

Coming up with Onyx’s character was the result of a lot of ‘what if’ and brainstorming about the series. She was the second major character after we came up with Koda and Juniper. The most challenging part of her story was deciding how we wanted to tell it. We actually had a first version of Episode One that included seeing Onyx young and old – back and forth throughout the book. That turned out not to work for many readers so we scrapped that version and revised it to start with her at age going to the 1904 World’s Fair. We did however add a couple of her journal entries so readers could get a sneak peek into her future instead of showing it.

TR: Are any of your characters based on real-life friends or acquaintances?

Ultimately everyone is a product of our imagination. We do have one character, Robyn, who becomes the semi-love interest of our hot, billionaire, ghost-obsessed character Koda Mulvaney. So she is based on a real person but we still put words in her mouth, and create fictional situations so there is nothing biographical in nature!

TR: Describe the room you are sitting in as though it was a scene in Onyx Webb.
“It was a large den area right off the kitchen with a spider web graphic etched on the wall, three oddly shaped glass desks each with a computer and all of which had stacks of paperwork that had been sorted through multiple times with no progress ever being made.”

(As most Onyx Webb readers know, we give sparse descriptions so that’s about as detailed as we would ever do!) 

TR: Which character do you love to hate?

We recently surveyed our special reader group called the OnyxWebb100 to discover the answer to this question. They love to hate the same ones that we do. For us it’s probably a character named Mika. She’s wildly selfish, greedy, narcissistic, vindictive… and she is so much fun to write because of what she does to try to enhance her wealthy lifestyle and marry Koda Mulvaney.  

TR: You are sitting in a coffee shop. What does your writer mind see?

We were actually just talking about this. Just the other day we came out from the movies and noticed a little note taped to someone’s car window. Our writer’s minds immediately went to something nefarious and we started coming up with a plot: the first person to read the note would be watched and then pulled into some horrible game of life and death. So, the coffee shop probably doesn’t so a lot for us in terms of inspiration… but anything out of the ordinary gets our imaginations working!

TR: If Onyx were doing this interview what is the number one question she would like me to ask?  What would be her answer?

How do you feel about your life now?

Onyx would say: Teddy as you know what I call my life is very different than what it was when I was truly living. I fill my days with the things that give me a touch of energy and a slight amount of joy although I don’t really feel it… I remember the feeling. So perhaps your readers will simply trust me when I say… think life is precious now? Just wait until you’re dead.

Onyx Webb Book Three by Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton

Fill The Sky by Katherine A. SherbrookeFill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke


Thanks to Caitlin Hamilton Marketing & Publicity, LLC, I am giving away one print copy of Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke.

Description of Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke


Biotech entrepreneur Tess Whitford has built her life around the certainty of logic and thrives on solving problems. But when one of her dearest friends exhausts the reaches of medicine while fighting cancer and grabs onto the hope that traditional healers in Ecuador might save her, Tess has to let go of everything she knows—and every instinct she has. Unable to deny Ellie a request that might be her last, Tess flies to Ecuador to help.

Together with Joline, another close college friend whose spiritual work inspired the trip, they travel to the small mountain village of Otavalo. Immersed in nature and introduced to strange ancient ceremonies, the three friends are pushed to recognize that good health is not only physical. Tess grapples with her inability to trust; Ellie struggles with a painful secret; and Joline worries about the contract she made with an aggressive businessman whose ambitions could destroy the delicate fabric of the local community. When an ayahuasca ceremony goes awry and an unlikely betrayal suddenly threatens to unravel their decades-long friendship, these three very different women awaken to a shared realization: they each have a deep need for healing.

FILL THE SKY captures the challenges of mid-life, the hope we seek when we explore alternative paths, and the profound nature of women’s friendships. It’s a beautifully told and moving story about lifelong friends, the power of the spirit, and the age-old quest to not simply fight death but to shape an authentic life.

Praise for Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke


“Three women, each with an important question to answer, travel together into a world richly imagined and beautifully rendered to find unconventional answers. This is a deeply moving novel about love, honesty, respect, the unlikely, and the truly possible.”—Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author

“FILL THE SKY takes us to places we seldom dare explore and pushes the boundaries of love, friendship, and healing. Sherbrooke has a deft understanding of human nature and a painter’s eye for place. A journey every woman should take.”—Brunonia Barry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lace Reader

“Sherbrooke’s insight into friendship—all the slights and secrets, yet more importantly all the love that defines it—propels this novel forward to its deeply satisfying conclusion. FILL THE SKY is pure heart and a perfect read for a circle of friends.”—Lynne Griffin, author of Girl Sent Away and Sea Escape
