For the haunted, the romantic, and the brave

I'm so excited to announce that my new book PAPER GHOSTS will be out on Sept 1! You can preorder and add to your Goodreads TBR now: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The Westers are the town’s architects and its enigmas, women who know secrets before you’ve whispered them, whose house is a kingdom of locked doors and heavy silences.

I hope you'll be spirited away...

That's how much I like them and you. When is your next book coming out?
