CHOKEHOLD
A HIGH SHOALS Novel
Hurricanes come and go in Shoals – a deceptively sleepy, evangelical sundown town in the Florida Panhandle where sweet tea and innocence reign. Sins are covered up by old money and influence, but some secrets have a way of washing up once flood waters recede.

About


About E. M. Phillips
E. M. Phillips writes Southern Gothic romantic suspense. She grew up in the heart of Florida immersed in all the heavily cultural and historically nuanced reasons that make her home unique.
She still resides in North Florida with her family and draws inspiration from dark forests, old cemeteries, and just about every creature she meets, especially the slithery ones.
If it weren’t for her intense love of the deep south, she might just stop saying ‘Y’all’ - but that'd be as crazy as pettin’ a swamp puppy with a plump hen.
