The new kid was about to step on a crack when Eddie stopped him.
"Step on a crack, break your mother's back," Eddie warned.
"You really believe that superstitious #myth?"
Eddie pointed to his mom who was sitting in a wheelchair.
His mom flipped him off.
"She still hasn't forgiven me." #vss365

A graphic depicting the cover of Inheriting Her Ghosts with the text "If you liked this..." above it and a line of animal paws leading from it to the cover of Bottling His Ghosts. There are also text descriptors: Victorian gothic horror, strong female leads, terrifying ghosts, remote haunted manors, two of the best boys in all literature.
Did you read INHERITING HER GHOSTS and enjoy your time exploring High Hearth's dark history alongside Eudora?
Then you should join Netta as she returns to her childhood home, a house never haunted now held captive by the supernatural, in BOTTLING HIS GHOSTS!

The cover of Reap, Sow featuring a furious, screaming elderly woman half consumed by the shadows of a dark hallway.
"She belongs to this place. She's part of it. The loneliness. The hollow. It radiates from her, rushing through the floors to claw through the knotted wood, hoping to pull me down into the foundation. To make me part of it, like her."

A desolate manor shrouded in dark mystery.
A house never haunted held captive by the supernatural.
A familiar unfamiliar trying to make itself look like home.
A dying world where survival balances on the edge of a blade.
Stare into the void, 1,000 eyes might stare back.
Interested? π #booksky

"What do you suppose it is?" He nudged the odd-looking #creature with his boot.
"I have no idea," his wife replied, "But I'm glad you killed it."
"Where's Thomas?" he asked, "Maybe he'll know."
That was Thomas, the fairy who'd granted their son's wish thought from her hiding place. #vss365

After the other kids left, the boy dressed as a ghost stayed behind.
"I like your #Halloween costume," he said.
I looked at my jeans and t-shirt confused, "I'm not wearing a costume."
"I was talking to your husband," he pointed behind me.
My husband died a decade ago. #vss365

"What's the passcode?" the burly man at the door asked.
"By the light of the #argent moon," she replied.
"What does that even mean?" her date for the night asked as they walked into the bar and were locked inside.
"You'll understand once the full moon rises." She gave him a feral grin. #vss365

"Impossible," her husband said, "I killed you."
"Yes, you did."
"How are you still alive?"
"Remember when I told you my dad did an #experiment on me? Turns out he spliced my DNA with cat DNA and gave me 9 lives." She held up a clawed hand, "Too bad you only have 1." #vss365
