New Chapel Mysteries

Time doesn’t heal all wounds… especially the ones that haven’t happened yet.


In New Chapel, the past isn’t gone—it’s watching… and it’s changing.

In the quiet town of New Chapel, nothing ever seems to change… until someone starts rewriting the past.

The New Chapel Mysteries series follows Dan Parker, an ordinary man who stumbles into an impossible discovery—a hidden device that sends him back in time. Stranded in the 1940s, Dan builds a new life among people who quickly become his world. But when a string of murders begins—crimes that never occurred in his original timeline—he realizes his presence has fractured history in ways he doesn’t understand.

As each death sends ripples through time, Dan is pulled deeper into a web of secrets, consequences, and impossible choices. With every attempt to save a life, the timeline shifts again—unpredictable, dangerous, and spiraling toward something far worse.

Blending small-town charm with mounting dread, the series explores a chilling question:
What if even the smallest, unintended change to the past sets off consequences no one can stop?
