The voices continued to grow in number and volume, from a dull roar, to a blinding white noise. They echoed and clawed inside her mind, threatening to rid her of any sense she still retained. And in that moment, everything went silent. Only a single whisper could be heard among the empty darkness within her.
"What do you see when you close your eyes?"
~*~*~*~*~
Erostey, a small village located in rural Minnesota, is normally a very peaceful place, famous for its Trick-and-Treat festivals. However, 5 years ago, on Halloween's eve, the village became famous for a different reason. A young girl was found to have gone missing mysteriously, vanishing without a trace. Ever since then, every year on Halloween's eve, at least one child under the age of 13 has gone missing as well.
Confounded by the case, Minnesota police is forced to call in the help of Nic Caine, a detective of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, or MBCA. Will Nic be able to uncover the culprit and put an end to these mystical kidnappings? Or will he and his family wind up being Erostey's next unfortunate victims?

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover.

GHOST PORTAL (#1 GHOST PORTAL series)
If you're triggered by something sinister, do you seek its meaning, or do you leave it alone? *** Small-town barista and occasional stray animal rescuer Jessamine Spencer never would have guessed that a video about missing paranormal show-host Amy LaRoya would rile her up so badly, to the point of having nightmarish visions of the house where Amy was last seen, and an ominous sense that she'd been there before. But when Amy's fellow paranormal host Avery Boomer turns up at Jessamine's coffee-shop asking questions, he discovers that Jessamine is in fact linked to Amy--because she WAS at the mystical house Amy was last seen at. The problem is, Jessamine doesn't recall any of the circumstances that led her to be there, nor how she escaped. And Avery needs to locate Amy, because her final footage seems to imply something was after her and might have gotten to her; something clearly supernatural in nature. If Avery convinces Jessamine to help him, will she recover enough of her memories to navigate to this mystery house, and hopefully find Amy there? Or is there more hiding in the forest--forces and prophesies that Avery and Jessamine will never understand? *** Join me as I share the new version of the first novel I ever *fully* wrote! Trigger warning for language, violence, sexual situations, mentions of suicide, possession, jump-scares, and overall disturbing stuff. Enjoy ♥Complete
