Today, SRP author Mark Posey has released a new Nun with a Gun paranormal suspense story. This one is part of an Uncollected Anthology.
A letter from the grave. A sister long thought dead. A secret five hundred years in the making.
After five centuries of wandering, Sister Jacobine—known to some as Alice Fisher—returns to the crumbling ruins of the Amesbury Priory, the place where her long life began.
A letter, written in a shaking hand and signed with a name no living soul should remember, summons her home. But what waits among the ancient stones is more than nostalgia and ghosts. Old sins lie buried in the Priory’s shadow, and one of them still breathes.
When Alice’s visit turns deadly, she must confront the only other survivor of that distant past—a sister who’s grown monstrous in both body and soul. What begins as a reunion soon becomes a reckoning, fought amid the stones of the Henge and the bones of the dead.
Immortality is a gift that never stops taking… and some debts refuse to die.

Praise for the A Nun With A Gun Series
There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Nun and yet a lot is shared in this short novella but there’s so much more I want to know….into the next book in the series I go!
Sister Jacobine was a very talented, very well trained assassin for the Vatican. I found her to be a very likable character so far, and look forward to getting to know her better
What a fun roller-coaster of a story!

Mark Posey is the author of the award-losing Nun With A Gun thrillers*, a series featuring Sister Jacobine, a nun with a habit of making bad people pay. Readers have called the stories “sharp,” “darkly funny,” and “alarmingly satisfying.” The author calls them “therapy with a body count.” (*No awards were harmed in the writing of this series.)
Mark writes thrillers for readers who don’t mind a little dirt under the nails — stories with emotional weight, lean prose, and characters who rarely do the right thing for the right reason. His work lives somewhere between noir, revenge fantasy, and literary grit, though he avoids calling it any of those because that sounds like marketing.
When he’s not writing fiction, Mark also works as a professional editor and story consultant. His editing blog offers straight talk for indie and traditionally published authors alike — especially the ones who are tired of being told to “find their voice” by people who can’t define what voice is.
He believes in clarity over cleverness, clean narrative over trend-chasing, and that semicolons are fine, but you probably don’t need as many as you think.
He lives in Canada, which explains the politeness, but not the sarcasm.
You can find him online at MarkPoseyAuthor.com, where he blogs about writing, editing, story structure, and whatever else is on fire this week. His books are published through Stories Rule Press, an independent publisher of genre fiction with strong characters and sharp writing.
