JU JU STORIES
Where every secret demands a price...
Welcome! I’m Julie Lomax, and if you’re drawn to psychological thrillers that keep you questioning everything, you’re in the right place. My newest releases—A Pawn’s Game, Adjudicator, and Played—each deliver sharp twists, layered emotion, and the kind of suspense that lingers long after you’ve finished the last page. All have been recognized with national or international awards for high-stakes storytelling.
If you’ve already fallen for the twists, don’t stop now. Explore The Costly Wish series—beginning with the award-winning debut that started it all, followed by The Teedle Doll and Malediction. Each story stands on its own but threads together through choices, consequences, and the secrets that define us. Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are releases in 2026.
They thought it was just a game. He heard something different.
Night after night, Jack Gilbert plays piano at The Ember Room, watching the world pass by from behind the keys. He listens more than he speaks, remembers more than he lets on. And lately, what he's hearing doesn’t feel right.
When two local girls go missing and a geocaching app begins dropping cryptic, coded clues across the city, the coincidences pile up. Families are desperate, the police are circling, and the game’s next move feels personal.
Jack isn’t a detective. But years of listening have taught him things about patterns—about people. As the clues grow darker and the players grow fewer, Jack may be the only one who can unravel the truth behind the app… and the man hiding behind the screen. In the end, someone’s going to pay for what’s been hidden.
David Morgan has one chance to keep his life from collapsing: learn the rules of a game he never meant to play—or be used as the pawn and lose everything.
Each week in the park, David faces Lehman, a reserved stranger whose chess mastery is matched only by his unsettling knowledge of David’s private failures. With every match, the board becomes a mirror: strategies echo into real life, secrets surface, and the stakes move from pride… to family, freedom, and the truth itself.
As pressure mounts and the final gambit approaches, David must decide whether he’s willing to think three moves ahead—or be sacrificed on someone else’s board.
Relentless, intimate, and razor-sharp, A Pawn’s Game asks how far a man will go to escape being played.
Vengeance never dies. It waits to be found.
Long before Bramlett, Maggie, and Momma C, there was Hoka—a woman wronged, who turned her grief into creation. From her hands came the first Teedle Dolls—crafted not for comfort, but for revenge.
Decades later, those dolls still surface. They pass quietly from one desperate soul to another, promising to heal wounds, grant wishes, and right old wrongs. But Hoka’s vengeance lingers in every stitch and button. Each wish granted carries a hidden debt—and the dolls always collect.
As the curse threads its way through generations, the line between justice and damnation blurs. Some inherit love. Others inherit ruin. None escape the Teedle Doll’s reach.
Dark, atmospheric, and steeped in Southern gothic lore, The Teedle Doll unearths the origins of a curse that spans decades—and the haunting truth that revenge never truly rests.
