Once Around the Graveyard

I am beyond excited to announce the publication of my second novel, Once Around the Graveyard.
Some people inherit money. She inherited a ghost problem.
Jocelyn Poe is just trying to survive being eighteen, pregnant, and newly married. But when her formidable mentor, Acacia Adams, checks into the great beyond and immediately starts haunting her with instructions, Jocelyn’s life goes from complicated to chaotic.
Acacia is on a mission: stop the mayor from turning West Elbertine’s historic cemetery into a ghoulish theme park. Armed with a ghostly army and a handful of determined senior citizens, Jocelyn is wildly outmatched. Especially when the mayor’s secret weapon is a celebrity psychic who’s not only a fraud, but also charming his way into her mother’s life. To save the dead from a fate worse than death—a rollercoaster through their graves—Jocelyn will have to embrace the weird, raise a little hell, and prove that you should never, ever, underestimate the dead.
Embracing the Last Days of Summer

June Musings: The Joy of Imaginative Reading

“When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it—or rather, it is like living it.
It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don’t suppose many people try to do it.”
˜ Dodie Smith (b. 3 May 1896 – d. 24 November 1990), I Capture the Castle
Emily Dickinson’s Wisdom on Growth and Patience

“May teaches us that growth comes after patience.”
˜ Emily Dickinson (b. December 10, 1830 – d. May 15, 1886)
Spring is here!

“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”…
“It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”
˜Frances Hodgson Burnett (b. 24 November 1849 – d. 29 October 1924), The Secret Garden
