Penny Johnson, newly licensed lawyer, thinks her first client is slightly balmy when she announces, "My house is haunted." However, it turns out Althea Riversmith is right-her house is haunted-but not in the usual way of the supernatural. Penny is faced with ghosts from Althea's past, which must be resolved before Althea can sell her home and retire to Florida.
Althea is charged with a crime, a trial ensues, and Penny finds herself at odds with some or the citizens of the village of Midvale Corners.

A Legacy of Ash
In the fall of 2015, a strange woman stopped me outside my law firm, claiming a case I was handling had a hidden story. The case was open-and-shut. A first-degree murder conviction, a death sentence. The direct appeals were exhausted, and we were in the final review stage. It was, for all intents and purposes, over. Yet, she appeared now, at the eleventh hour. "Are you a witness?" I asked, walking. Her reply was something I will never forget. "No," she said. "I'm the exhibit." Author's Note: I post a new chapter almost every single day!

She begins to notice strange happenings and mysterious voices in the night. As she begins to investigate, with handsome caretaker Beckan O'Dwyre, Rose realizes that she and her family might just be in real danger - because all of the previous owners have died in the house.

The Apparition: An Andromache Jones Mystery (Short Story#2) [COMPLETED]
"The house is haunted, Miss Jones. Haunted. There is an evil ghost in my home and I want it gone!" Andromache Jones is a tarot-reading witch from the sleepy village of Bramblesgrove, where she runs River Gardens Mystical Services. From here, she gives tarot readings, casts runes, gazes lovingly at the moon and stars, plays with crystals and herbs...and sometimes solves crimes. She likes to think of herself as a part-time private detective who untangles mysteries, but really she is an amateur sleuth who happens to attract trouble - and troublesome clients. It's been three days since Andromache Jones suffered her ordeal at the hands of The Magician and she doesn't know what to do with herself. She doesn't think she is up to working. She is not very keen on the idea of getting out of bed. In truth, all she wants is to be left alone. Unlucky for her, Jean Pottersworth is very persistent. Does she have a case that might chase away Mac's blues? The Apparition is the second short story in the Andromache Jones Mysteries series. The first is The Magician (also here on Wattpad), which you might want to read before The Apparition but if you don't, it shouldn't effect your enjoyment of the story.Complete

Whispers of the Bungalow

At the edge of the property stands an old outhouse, where a lonely grandmother lives, warning them of dark forces within the main house. Her words are dismissed as superstition... until the nights fill with the sound of a child's cries echoing through the halls. As each day passes, strange events unfold - shadows move without light, whispers call their names, and the air grows colder with every sunset. The family's search for answers leads them deep into the bungalow's hidden history, revealing a chilling truth: the kind old granny isn't among the living... and her child still waits, locked away, trapped by a curse that time never broke. Now, to survive, they must uncover the secret behind the haunting - before the bungalow claims them too.Complete
