PRAISE FOR LAURA OLES

“A gifted writer whose work exhibits an unflappable sense of identity.”

INDIES TODAY

“Few writers are as adept as Laura Oles at juggling gritty noir, complicated family dynamics, and biting humor. And whether you read her novels or short stories (better yet, both) you’ll always find a reckoning—just don’t be surprised if it isn’t the one you expected.”

M.E. BROWNING, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF SHADOW RIDGE

“The only thing better than a new Jamie Rush mystery is being able to tell others about it.”

FOR EVERY EVIL UNDER THE SUN: STORIES

“With her firm sense of setting and a storytelling pitch others would kill for, Laura Oles explores the dynamics of seriously dysfunctional families. Her sibling and parental relationships show the conditions of unconditional love.”

SCOTT MONTGOMERY, EDITOR OF “AUSTIN NOIR”

Three distinct voices.
One shared truth: nothing stays buried forever.

In this gripping collection of nine literary suspense stories, three women writers explore the fragile boundary between ordinary life and the darkness that lurks just beneath it. Taut, lyrical, and quietly unsettling, For Every Evil Under The Sun is a testament to how women carry grief, danger, and desire—and what happens when those forces break through.
