Amy, a white woman with long brown hair, is holding a blue book with an eerie hand reaching through water on the cover. The book is called Where The Shadows Hide and Amy’s expression is wide eyed excitement.

My third book is officially out in the world today and I am being very normal and chill about it. Where The Shadows Hide is the third book in The PSI Investigations series, published by @theobrienpress.bsky.social and dare I say it’s the best one yet.
