THE DALLAN HOTEL is an YA thriller that - through the lens of slavery, suicide, and spirits - reminds readers no matter how deep you bury it, your past will always find you. PSYCHO meets THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, if you will.
Struggling with her mother's suicide, 18-year-old black orphan Georgina Kline checks into The Dallan Hotel, "The Deadliest Hotel in New Orleans," to uncover what happened the night her mother Eleanor died before she, too, takes her own life.
With the help of Georgina's new friends, hotel employees Heather and Maria, she learns that her mother may not have jumped to her death after all. In fact, she may have been pushed and killed by Gretchen, Georgina's estranged grandmother and Eleanor's mother.
And as Georgina discovers more and more secrets about that fateful night - including sordid details about our own lineage - she realizes that she, too, like the ghosts that roam the Dallan Hotel, might never check out.

Fractured Legacy: Aicil Paranormal Files #1
"Callahan has combined two very intriguing characters with a great storyline to create a fast-paced supernatural tale." (Kimber Leigh Wheaton) Paranormal investigator, Kaylyn is thrilled with the opportunity to investigate the Teague Hotel-a beautiful historic building at the heart of Chatham, Ohio-with a not-so-beautiful past. But the conditions of her investigation aren't so ideal... First, she screws up on what should be a simple "pick-up" when she's sent to the local historical society to retrieve an occult object with unknown powers. Then, her new boss threatens to fire her on the spot, potentially ending the career she's dreamed about and worked for her whole life. Unfortunately, even after he relents and gives her one final chance to prove her worth to the organization, things continue to go wrong. Terribly wrong. Unexplainable dreams and blackouts... Fires... Unrelenting attacks against her mind, body, and soul, that may or may not be real. If Kaylyn stands any chance of defeating the powerful force waiting for her in the hotel, she'll first have to convince everyone around her that the threat isn't only in her head. And-possibly the harder task-face up to the fact that she needs to ask for help. "The ending scenes had me on the edge of my seat, behind a cushion hugging my dog."

"The Quiet Ones" ✨ A sleepy coastal town called Ridgewater, where secrets don't stay buried - they whisper through the fog. Every fall, the senior class performs a reckless tradition: break into the abandoned Ridgewater Asylum and sign their names in the patient ledger before midnight. It's supposed to be a joke - a dare that proves you're brave enough to survive your senior year. But this year, the asylum signs back. When Lila Monroe, the quiet new girl haunted by her mother's mysterious death, is dragged into the ritual by her classmates - charming rebel Eli, queen bee Claire, journalist Marcy, skeptic Jonah, and golden boy Dean- something inside those walls recognizes her. Something that's been waiting. As the nights grow colder, strange symbols appear on their skin. Mirrors start whispering names that aren't theirs. And one by one, the students begin to vanish - leaving only a page of the ledger behind, with fresh ink still drying. Now, Lila must uncover what happened inside the asylum in 1954 - the year it was shut down - before the darkness finishes rewriting all their lives. Love, betrayal, and the sins of the past collide in this pulse-racing 1980s horror mystery about grief, memory, and what happens when you dare to wake what was meant to sleep forever. Every generation adds their names to the ledger. But this year, it's signing back. The past isn't dead. It's waiting for you to remember it. Some traditions are meant to be broken - before they break you.Complete
