*Buried Secrets* is a chilling, atmospheric novel that delves into the haunting mysteries of a long-abandoned Victorian estate shrouded in generations of dark secrets and ghostly whispers. When Clara inherits the sprawling property from her estranged family, she expects to find little more than a crumbling mansion and forgotten memories. Instead, she's plunged into a labyrinth of eerie artifacts, hidden rooms, and the ghostly presence of an unseen Entity that lurks in the shadows.
As Clara sifts through old journals and ancient family letters, she uncovers the fragmented life of her ancestor Evelyn, a woman tormented by strange visions and haunted by the same entity that now watches Clara's every move. An oppressive silence fills the estate, each creaking floorboard and shivering curtain a reminder of the untold horrors buried within. The story follows Clara as she gradually unearths her family's dark legacy, grappling with supernatural forces that refuse to be laid to rest.
Guided only by Evelyn's cryptic diary entries and the reluctant help of Father Dominic-a priest with his own haunting history-Clara confronts long-buried sins and the inexplicable presence that holds the estate in its grasp. Her journey is both terrifying and transformative, forcing her to question her own fears, her family's legacy, and the very boundaries between life and death. *Buried Secrets* is a tale of suspense, redemption, and the power of confronting the past, blending Gothic horror with a relentless, creeping dread that keeps readers on edge until the final page.

The Medium
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.Complete
