In the hauntingly beautiful village of Black Hollow, darkness lurks just beneath the surface. When Eliza, a spirited young woman, returns to her ancestral home, she unwittingly stumbles upon a sinister legacy tied to an ancient ledger filled with forgotten secrets. As chilling whispers echo through the crumbling mansion on the cliff, Eliza and her friends find themselves drawn into a nightmarish battle against the enigmatic Eye of the Abyss, a malevolent force that threatens to engulf their world.

With each chilling revelation, the group uncovers layers of betrayal, lost souls, and a history that refuses to stay buried. As they delve deeper into the shadows, they must confront their own fears and forge an unbreakable bond to fend off the encroaching darkness.

In a tale woven with vivid imagery and unexpected twists, Before the Dawn: Chronicles of a Forgotten Time explores the delicate balance between light and dark, the power of friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit. Will Eliza and her companions be able to withstand the haunting presence that watches from the shadows, or will they succumb to the echoes of despair? In this gripping journey, the dawn may be their only salvation, but it comes at a cost-a cost they must be willing to pay.

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.
