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.

March Reflections: Remembering Louisa May Alcott

“There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.”
˜Louisa May Alcott (b. November 29, 1832 – d. March 6, 1888), Little Women
January

“You learn by writing short stories. Keep writing short stories.
The money’s in novels, but writing short stories keeps your writing lean and pointed.”
