Urban legends never die.

The final entry in The Tallow Series picks up shortly after Rosemary ends. Memorial Day weekend is a time for reflection and celebration. Believing the legend is over and the mystery solved, our heroes take a moment to relax and celebrate. They can finally start living again. What can they do to move forward? Aren’t they finally safe? The legend, after all, is dead. Isn’t it?

Unfortunately, the events in Book 2 unearthed long-forgotten secrets. Similar to Rosemary, Time to Pay jumps between past and present, showing what someone will do for love. And loss.


A game of cat and mouse unfolds as misdirection and enemies old and new appear. The deadly conclusion to the trilogy will shock you.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

After two and a half years, I'm thrilled to wrap up this trilogy. I'm quite proud of the final entry. "Time to Pay" has a similar design to "Rosemary" as it jumps between past and present. My goal was to bring an exciting end to the entire Series, while at the same time keeping some good twists and turns and surprises.I'm proud of all three stories. I feel each one is unique, while at the same time being an exciting page-turner with lots of twists and surprises. I hope you enjoy this third act as much as me.

From the Back Cover

It's been two months since the deadly events that took place on Cape Cod. The Memorial Day weekend has arrived, kicking off the first warm holiday event of the season. Many families and friends will gather to celebrate fun times and recall fond memories. Others will mourn for those that were lost, and seek retribution. As the story goes, legends never die. They hide in darkness until the time is right to finally strike again.

MJ grew up in New England, spending over 20 years living in Providence, RI. He spent many of those youthful summers reading horror classics from Stephen King and thrillers by the likes of Michael Crichton and James Patterson. MJ always planned to write books "someday."

After 30 years working in IT, MJ decided he'd put this dream off long enough. The Tallow Series - his first trilogy - was based on a nightmare. The books follow a set of friends as they head to Cape Cod and find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

While working on the trilogy, MJ attended the intensive three-day "Story" seminar by Robert McKee. For the unaware, Robert is a legend in Hollywood. He breaks down all of the major components of the story: character, scene, setting, etc. Cramming a semester's worth of information into 30 hours is both overwhelming and invigorating.

MJ's first novel, Tallow - An Urban Legend, earned Readers' Favorite highest 5-star rating. The reviewer compared MJ's writing style to that of the great Roald Dahl. Humbling, to say the least. After completing the Tallow Series, Level 4 Press hired MJ to co-author the gripping drama FASTER.

Dawn of Eve, MJ's next solo novel, is his tribute to every book, show, and movie about a creepy doll. Scary dolls always freaked MJ out, so it only made sense that he wrote a book about one. Dawn of Eve also received a 5-star rating from Readers' Favorite.

Skin Deep launched as an episodic thriller on Kindle's Vella app before transitioning to e-book and paperback in June of 2022.

Jump to 2023, and MJ has switched genres and is going after . . . children's books! His passion for dogs shines through in what he hopes will be a new long-running series of stories.

Now living in Florida, MJ finds inspiration in the most unlikely places. His passion for quality storytelling includes a huge interest in movies. MJ's dream is to have his books made into films - perhaps with him writing the screenplay.

You can follow MJ on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. He also has a shop on Redbubble, where he converts his favorite pictures, including book cover designs, into merchandise.

Grab this book!!!! You won’t regret it! This is the BEST of the series and a suspenseful, thrilling, satisfying ending. (For now...) Once you’re done, check out Dawn of Eve for an “Easter egg” or two from this trilogy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic conclusion to the trilogy!

This third entry in the series is just as exciting as the first two. It's a bit like Rosemary with how it jumps back and forth between past and present. Another page-turner that keeps you guessing and has some good plot twists. If you enjoyed the prior two, you will absolutely love Time to Pay.

A riveting read for the holiday. This is an awesome finish for The Tallow Series. I was excited to find out whose Time to Pay it was. Looking forward to more adventures with this new author MJ Howson who can’t be too far from The Bestseller List.

This book presents a very satisfying conclusion to a gripping and original trilogy. MJ Howson’s debut series is well written, with engaging characters that are way more complex than one expects. It’s a quick, creepy, thoroughly enjoyable read. Can’t wait to see what he writes next!
