Ghostbusters meets X-Men in a creepy urban fantasy adventure!
"A pocket watch. She bought a pocket watch and it killed her. And I thought how we died was bad."
As far as apartments go, roommates Stella and Charlotte "Bronte" believe theirs to be just fine. Sure, they hate taking the stairs up to the third floor, especially after grocery shopping. And yes, the apartment staff could be a bit nicer. But all things considered, it's not a bad place to live.
Until the sudden chills begin, seizing them at inexplicable times. Until Bronte starts to see shadows out of the corner of her eye and Stella begins to hear voices too close, sighs too near to be the culprit of paper-thin walls.
Century-old ghosts Oliver and Cyril have seen what happens to mortals forced, unknowingly, to spend time in their company. For the unlucky few, their perceptions change, allowing them to perceive the departed. And not everyone, they know, are strong enough to handle living with the dead. Determined to save Stella and Bronte from the fate that befell their last haunting, Oliver and Cyril must find a way to prevent their perceptions from deepening.
But when the two ghosts encounter a dark creature unlike any they've seen before, they might have to rethink their plan. The two girls might be the key to saving their afterlives. Not to mention themselves.

To make the situation even worse, the man standing right across from us, blocking our direct route to the exit, pointed a gun right at us. When he spotted Paul Herford he grinned. „He is here!", he said in a very slimy tone. „Grab him!" " _______ I n case you haven't noticed, „The Chloenicles" are a pun on Chloe and Chronicles.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

DEPARTED (#2 in the VANISHED series) #NaNoWriMo2020 ✔
Death. What happens after it? What lies beneath the surface? Poor Arielle Daniels stumbled through dangerous hoops to figure this out. She wakes in a new place--the Void--and discovers that what waits after death are layers, dimensions, and sadly... more questions. Even with her new *friend*--that she nicknames THE GHOST, for lack of any other way to describe her--she feels alone, abandoned, afraid. In the living world, Benjamin "Benny" Brooks, knowledgeable in the occult and familiar with paranormal activity, can't crack the mystery behind her death. Or Stella's. Or even... Jade's. He and his FBI agent friend Kylie are on the scene, scraping for clues... and no matter how prepared they think to be, both will get much more than they bargained for. Will Arielle get her ultimate answers, at last? Will she conclude the business that's holding her in the Void? And will Benny finally show the world ghosts are real? • WARNING: this book mentions AND deals with suicide, but DOES NOT endorse it. PLEASE BEWARE. It is rated MATURE for that, among other triggering, sensitive issues. Proceed with caution.Complete
Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
