Seventeen years after leaving the shadowed town of Grenton Hollow, Nora Halstead swore she'd never return. But when her brother mysteriously disappears, she's pulled back into the place she thought she'd escaped forever.
The Halstead estate waits at the edge of town, its halls echoing with secrets, its walls hiding clues no one else dares to see. A photograph marked with her face. A message carved into wood: They remember.
As Nora unravels the threads of her brother's disappearance, she discovers that Grenton Hollow is not just haunted by the past-it's watching her every move. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth isn't buried in the house. It's buried in the town itself.
And some secrets don't want to be found.

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

In the shadowed halls of Briarhaven Conservatory, one witch is missing, and another is dead-but only one of them seems to matter to everyone else. It's the spring of 2002, and twenty-year-old college students Sloane Beauvais and Maeve Hamada just want to avoid Briarhaven's suffocating magical elite and the haunted corridors of their campus. But when a friend begged for their help, the girls put aside their doubts and decide to investigate.

But when one of Sloane's former classmates is found suspended above her dorm bed, and another vanishes without a trace, Briarhaven descends into chaos. Wealthy warlocks pull their children from class, the media swarms the school, and the truth hides beneath layers of gossip and dark magic. Haunted by guilt, Maeve and Sloane take matters into their own hands, navigating secretive cliques, cryptic rituals, and hidden alliances that could turn on them at any moment.

The Night Below
When a woman returns to her remote coastal hometown after years of absence, the weathered house at the end of the street holds more questions than answers. She doesn't remember why she left or how long she's been away-only that she's drawn back by forces she cannot explain. As she settles into a life she barely recognizes, strange occurrences begin to mount: photographs with faces scratched away, a mysterious shell on her pillow, cryptic letters in her own handwriting addressed to someone she doesn't recognize, and townspeople who eye her with equal parts familiarity and fear. The truth lies buried in fragments-her father's obsessive research notes about doorways between worlds, her brother's disappearance during a violent storm, and a forgotten friend who once warned them about the cave by the sea. Something lives beneath the waves, something ancient that remembers her family. Armed with only an antique compass that points to impossible places and a stone that hums with otherworldly energy, she must piece together what happened before she left and why everyone blames her for the tragedy that followed. What she discovers will challenge everything she believes about the nature of reality, memory, and sacrifice.Complete
