The Worm Has Turned

Maggie Knight never wanted to be a mother. Her only passion was being an FBI agent. It gave her purpose, meaning, and an identity until one reckless decision gets her teammates killed and her seriously injured... destroying her career.

After being cast out of the Bureau, her circle shrinks down to the one person she ignored while pursuing her career: her only child, Brian.

And now, someone is stalking Maggie. Though she should ask for help, that’s never been her personality. Instead, she sets a trap. And, like her last career decision, she’s not the only one she is putting at risk by doing so.

Once her son is pulled into the fray, Maggie will have to decide what matters more. Will it be the thrill of the hunt or protecting a child she neglected?

The answer maybe both.

But when the line between protector and predator begins to blur, a truth becomes impossible to ignore. It isn’t just about who Maggie used to be, it’s about who she’s becoming.

No matter the outcome nor cost, Maggie Knight will not allow herself to become a victim.

Hell Is A Farm

'Hell Is A Farm'

Screenshot 2026-05-18 at 4.14.59 PM.png

Rural Alabama, 1958.

The fields around the Duke farm hide more than failed crops and rusted machinery.

Eunice and Cleo Duke are respected foster parents in a God-fearing town near Huntsville. But beneath the surface of their isolated farm lies a trail of buried secrets and bloodshed stretching back years.

Sisters Rose and Violet Martin have already survived a brutal foster care system that has tossed them from farm to farm. When they are placed with the Dukes, Rose knows immediately something is wrong. The farm and the “family” feel more off than the foster families Rose has become accustomed to.

As local officer Michael Houston investigates a string of disappearances, he finds himself pulled toward the Duke farm and directly into the sights of someone determined to frame him and it’s not the Dukes.

But Rose has seen too much to stay silent for long.

Armed with only her instincts, pieces of evidence, and a fierce determination to protect her little sister, Rose must outwit the monsters hiding in plain sight before Violet becomes the next child to vanish.

A psychotherapist for over 20 years, McNair has taken to writing after being inspired while editing--then writing--with his mom, J. LeMay. He's into twisty thrillers with heart. He won't allow lazy writing, plot holes, nor A.I. to inform his storytelling.

Currently living in Florida with his muppet, Jamie, the two have set about publishing the pages of stories that he completed over the last few years--with more to come.

His hobbies include collecting movie posters, playing drums, amateur horology, and, of all things, V.R. Minigolf.
