Sarah Markham always assumed that the Ivy League was her ticket to a new life. But after graduating from Harvard at the height of the Great Recession, she finds herself with no job offers and not much hope. That all changes when she enters a bookshop owned by Samuel, an eccentric intellectual who offers her not just a job, but also a place to stay. Sarah soon discovers a small catch though: her room is haunted by Lucy Larch, an opinionated and strong-willed ghost from the 1940s. As Sarah tries to help Lucy move on, she meets handsome Irishman Ian Flynn and falls in love, but her insecurities soon threaten every relationship she’s built.
As Sarah grapples with questions of faith, love, and identity, she must learn to embrace not just the spirits of the present, but the haunting pain of the past. Can she accept her past, and more importantly herself, in order to let love in?

Filming Fear, Finding Love
When Jade tags along with her longtime friends- YouTube's favorite ghost-hunting duo, Sam and Colby- she expects chills, laughter, and maybe a few jump scares. What she doesn't expect is to walk into an abandoned hospital that changes everything. For years, Jade has hidden her feelings for Colby behind inside jokes and camera lenses. But when the team latches onto her, fear and love interwine in ways none of them could predict. As the haunting grows more dangerous, Colby's protectiveness turns into something deeper- something he can't ignore. Together, they must confront the entity that refuses to let go, even as the line between the living and the dead begins to blur. From the eerie halls of a forgotten hospital to the chilling cells of a haunted prison, Jade and Colby fight not only to break the attachment but to admit what's been haunting their hearts all along. Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't the dark... It's realizing you've fallen in love under the light of a camera. "She was the one the spirits wanted. He was the one who refused to let them take her." *Note: This is similar to a (y/n) story, but to make it easier on me, I made the name Jade Quinn to use as a collective name for everyone.* "They went looking for ghosts... but found each other instead."Complete

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
