Scary Mary

The dead speak to her. She wishes they’d shut up.

Mary has always been different. She’d like to be normal, but being able to hear ghosts means she’ll never be like everyone else. She starts her junior year of high school hoping to be left alone, but Cyrus Asher is new and doesn’t know or seem to care that she’s an outcast. They start hanging out and all is well until she goes over to his house. Cy’s house is haunted, and not by Caspar, the friendly ghost.

But it’s not the ghost that ruins the evening. That honor belongs to Vicky “The Hickey” Nelson with her borrowed Ouija board and stuck-up friends. They make Mary so angry that she uses the ghost to freak out everybody, Cy included. He orders her out, and Mary thinks she’s lost whatever chance she had with him. But there’s still the ghost to deal with. He’s mean, nasty, and possibly homicidal. She has to get rid of him or Cy and his family could be hurt. Or worse.

The Christmas Homecoming

I lied. I do care about you. I’m not over you and I don’t know if I ever will be.

My name is Abigail, but most people call me Abby. When Jonathon broke up with me a year ago just after Christmas I thought I’d be fine. Now the holidays are here again, and I’m falling apart at the seams. I can’t get him off my mind no matter how hard I try.

Reconciliation isn’t an option. He has a new girlfriend, a more serious one like he wanted. They’re perfect for each other. He’s the son of a billionaire, a district attorney, and she’s a publicist. As a secretary in a lawyer’s office, I can’t compete with that. I know I need to move on with my life, but I don’t know how.

When I invited his parents over for tea on Christmas Day, l didn’t know I was igniting a course of events that would change our lives forever. Once the wheels were in motion everything spiraled so quickly. I didn’t even see it coming.

Will Abigail find it in her heart to move on with a new love? Or will she win Jonathon’s heart back in time for Christmas?

Shade

Shade: Girl on a hero’s journey, going from smart-ass to badass.

Thanks to her offbeat mother, Shade’s full name is Galactic Shade Griffin. Having a name like that while being the new girl in school is pretty much catnip for bullies. The summer before Shade’s junior year of high school, her mother breaks up with yet another boyfriend and moves them once again to a new town.

This time, they move into a dilapidated old house where Shade has an entire attic bedroom to herself—at least until she discovers it’s haunted by the ghost of a teenaged boy named Brandon Yates. When Shade’s best friend goes missing, her life becomes even more complicated. With the help of Brandon who’s struggling with his own issues in the world beyond, Shade faces the question of whether or not she has what it takes to become a true hero.

Although this novel deals with a number of serious issues—drug and alcohol abuse, cutting, and disturbing world events—it’s primarily a novel about a teenaged girl finding out who she really is and that she’s capable of so much more than she ever thought possible.

SHADE is a YA Mystery novel with Paranormal elements.
