The latest release from Branching Plot Books, The Legend of Mara Flores, is now available.

-----

At 5:28 a.m., Mara Flores swipes her access badge, and the Tower lets her in.

For twenty years, Mara has worked as a barista inside a major corporate headquarters. She opens the café before dawn, keeps the building running, and remains invisible to the people who depend on her.

When a sudden rent increase leaves her homeless, Mara keeps showing up to work as if nothing has changed. Same uniform. Same routine. No one asks where she slept. No one notices.

Then, during a quiet moment inside the Tower, Mara finds a misplaced access badge. It opens doors she was never meant to enter.

As rumors of a Phantom inside the building begin to circulate, a security operations center deep below the lobby starts tracking an anomaly. They aren't searching for a person. They're searching for a pattern.

The Legend of Mara Flores is a slow-burn corporate thriller about surveillance, survival, and the danger of being noticed too late.

Available now.

The End of Candle Face Chronicles Podcast – Branching Plot Books 08/10/2025

Closing the Candle Face Chronicles Podcast.

After six episodes, I’ve made the difficult decision to end the podcast. While my mission to help Candle Face’s victims continues, I'll no longer share their names or name suspected killers. This change comes out of respect for grieving families and to avoid harming the living while seeking peace for the lost souls. My focus now shifts to uncovering Candle Face’s origins and methods with the help of investigators, historians, and spiritual leaders.
