What Is Shattering The Idyllic, Seaside Community Of
Rancho, California?
Grisly death. Bodies washing up on nearby Moonlight Beach. It’s downright disconcerting to the privileged one percent living in their gated communities in one of SoCal’s ritziest enclaves. Worse, they have no idea what or who is behind the slaughter.
Is It Sharks? Something Supernatural? Greedy Venture Capitalists?
Maneaters are known to inhabit the waters off Moonlight Beach, but shark attacks are rare. What about black magic, satanic rituals? A coven of witches lives nearby. Or could it be the venture capitalists, whose latest company harvests human organs for transplant, exploiting the vulnerable to save the wealthy elite?
The Violence Shows No Signs Of Ending
Two more people are killed on a cliff overlooking the beach – and all their organs are missing. This bloody terror isn’t slowing down. It’s accelerating. What the hell is going on? They better figure all this out before more people get butchered or, God forbid, Rancho’s inflated property values plummet.

Moonlight Canyon
Murder and Magic Book 2
"Moonlight Duology" has just been selected as the winner in the "Sequels" category for the 2023 Los Angeles Book Festival. Moonlight Canyon, the second half of Moonlight Duology is the sequel to the award-winning book, Moonlight Beach.
Terrible Things Are Happening In Silver City
The rural paradise of Silver City, just south of Moonlight Canyon, is under attack. Half-eaten, mutilated bodies are showing up in public places. The peaceful residents of Silver City are in a panic. Horrible murders shouldn’t happen here. Evil like that is reserved for the big cities, right? Wrong.
Are Drug Smugglers To Blame?
A powerful, south of the border, drug kingpin named Tito Ocotillo could be responsible. Tito’s biker gang, the Coyotes, are very capable of murdering their enemies and putting them on public display as a warning to others.
Could It Be Space Aliens? Or Ancient Native American Dark Rituals?
Some people believe that space aliens are dismembering people to study us. Tito Ocotillo is using an old, mysterious Native American woman called Jane to try and open up a portal to the underworld. Whatever is terrorizing Silver City must be stopped and fast before this pastoral heaven becomes a living hell.

"A
Wild and Crazy Ride."
"... if you're not used to
the writer, buckle up."

great character development with a plot so great that you can’t
ignore nor get enough..."

religion to push the plot forward and develop characters is so

What would you do if God fell
into your lap?
Jessy Ascher and her friends set up
camp near Moonlight Rocks in the California desert to watch the
Leonid meteor shower. After darkness falls, a stunningly bright
meteor suddenly flashes across the sky blinding the friends to the
approaching danger.
The meteorite blasts into their camp
site knocking everyone unconscious but Jessy quickly regains her
senses. Her friends however, cannot be roused. Instinctively she
grabs the still smoking meteorite and stumbles downhill toward the
jeep she arrived in, desperate to get help for her friends...
But,
Jessy isn't alone in that rough, cactus-filled landscape... two dark
figures who also saw the meteor flashing down to Earth are
frantically searching the same area and they are ready to do
anything... even murder to get their hands on a meteorite they could
sell to the highest bidder.
And what about the meteorite?
Others have been waiting for its arrival. Cultists, fanatical members
of nearby religious or supernatural factions - some good, some evil -
believe that the meteor heralds the birth of a new Messiah and they,
too, are ready to do anything to gain control of the blessed
rock.
Jessy wants help for her friends, others want the
meteorite for their own end, but the Meteorite, it wants something
too... Is this the dawn of a new spiritual age, or just a bunch of
psychos raging in the desert?

Moonlight Rip Tide
Murder and Magic Book 4
Want to go for a ride in a
classic car? Park by the ocean? Sounds nice huh?
Mona
found the man and his car, a beautiful, old Ferrari, very attractive.
Sure, she'd go for a ride with him to look at the ocean, the party
was boring anyway. Maybe by the time they got back things would liven
up a bit...
She felt the bag tighten around her neck,
cutting off her air supply. This cannot be happening. She gasped and
struggled, but it was no use. He was as strong as he was classically
handsome, a real Hollywood leading man type. Everything went dark as
she lost consciousness, her last thought was about the mistake she'd
made threatening to tell Danny's wife...
Susan felt that
someone was stalking her. She'd gotten several strange calls
attempting to make appointments for private exercise and aerobics
lessons. Dicky and the cops had wrecked her apartment and she needed
to work to get a new place but she was afraid to take on an unknown
client. What should she do?
"Get in the car or your
pregnant friend is dead!" he said hoarsely. Susan must save
Anne, but how?

Yurie Kiri speaks Japanese, English, French and has studied Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish and a smattering of other languages such as Korean and Russian along with binary and hexadecimal machine language. Why? Because if you really want to get to know someone, you need to speak their language no matter if they’re machine or human.
Yurie lived and worked in Asia for decades before recently coming to America. Yurie went on an extensive backroad journey all across the US and Canada. Yurie also sailed (single-handed) from Mexico to the Canadian border, retracing a well-traveled road journey by sea in a small, live-aboard sailboat.
Yurie has been traveling and gathering story ideas from Asia for the Game Series, which covers Japan and other Asian countries, and North America for the Murder and Mystery Series which covers the American Southwest.
And, yes, Yurie does not use pronouns (for a reason). For one thing, it keeps the reader guessing – is Yurie male, female, non-binary, or even a machine? No one really knows for sure…
