It's the one hiding in plain sight.

Praise

"I thought I was reading a murder investigation. By the end, I realized I was reading something far darker. Holloway stayed with me long after I closed the book, and I am hooked. Great flow, and character description details.. Carter Vale I enjoyed being an ARC reader amazing work truly!"

– Chris, M, Canada

"I am not a huge reader but I was given the chance to do a beta read on Holloway, overall I do have to say the only reason I didn't give it the fifth star, is cause I am not a slow burn reader. I like fast passed, but either way over all amazing workmanship went into this book. Dont get me wrong I was still hooked in the first two chapters. I just prefer more guts and gore, its a personal prefrence. Take no offence Carter you are an amazing writer in your craft!"

– Lindsey, USA, TX

"I picked up Above the Deep 6 expecting to read a personal story. What I wasn't prepared for was how deeply it would affect me.

From the first chapters, I felt connected, not just to the events, but to the person living through them. The honesty in these pages makes it impossible to remain a detached reader. You celebrate the victories, feel the frustration, and carry the weight of every setback alongside the author.

What stayed with me most was the anger. Not the sensational kind, but the genuine frustration that comes from watching someone face obstacles, injustice, and circumstances that should never have happened in the first place. There were moments where I had to put the book down simply because I couldn't believe what I was reading.

This isn't just a memoir. It's a reminder that real people are often forced to fight battles they never asked for, against systems that seem impossible to challenge. By the end, I wasn't just invested in the story, I was invested in the outcome.

Rarely does a book make me feel both inspired and outraged at the same time. Above the Deep 6 did exactly that. It's honest, powerful, and impossible to forget." Great manuscript!

– Brenda V, OHIO

The Man Behind the Stories

I don't talk much about the journey that brought me to where I am today.

To be honest, it's not an easy story to tell.

If you've read Above the Deep 6, you've only seen a glimpse of what my family and I have been through. There are parts of that journey that are difficult to put into words, and even harder to revisit. But somewhere along the way, something unexpected came out of it.

I discovered writing.

I never set out to become an author. That was never the plan.

LIPS is that novel.

From psychological thriller author Carter Vale, LIPS is a gripping legal thriller that explores justice, corruption, obsession, and the terrifying intelligence of a killer who always seems to be one step ahead.
