Synopsis

Griffith Tavern is abandoned, but there’s something alive within the crumbling walls and it’s been waiting for Taryn, and her alone, for nearly 100 years...

As a former stagecoach inn, Griffith Tavern saw many people come and go and witnessed numerous tragedies and triumphs over the years. Now, the old abandoned building will almost surely be demolished, all in the name of progress. When the Friends of Griffith Tavern hire Taryn to come in and do one last painting she assumes it will be a quick, easy job. She’s in desperate need of cash flow and the quaint town and lovely hostess of her B&B appear to be a perfect combination.

But something is watching Taryn, and waiting

...Something that slithers in the dark and clutches at her, even invading her dreams.

Ghost stories about the old inn are few. Indeed, the mistress, Permelia, who ran it alone for almost 50 years was well-respected. Nobody fears Griffith Tavern.

But maybe they should...

In death, Permelia seems to want something from Taryn and she won’t let her go until she’s made sure Taryn understands. But solving this mystery just cost Taryn her life!

Still mourning the death of her fiance and reeling from the events that nearly killed her at Windwood Farm, Taryn struggles to piece together the fragments of the mystery that shroud the old place.

It might be too late to save the spooky old building, but is it too late to save Taryn?

Updated in August, 2015, to include new photos of Taryn's work!

Book 2 in the Taryn’s Camera series, a paranormal mystery series that follows 30-year-old Taryn Magill, a mixed media artist who recreates historical, and often rundown, buildings through her paintings. Her real talent is the fact that she can SEE the past through the lens of her beloved camera, Miss Dixie. Together, they work to solve the mysteries of the places they visit-sometimes with the extra help of the dead. The hauntings and poltergeists are only the beginning of what they find! A little crime noir, a little mystery, a little paranormal-and a whole lot of fun!

About the Author

Rebecca Patrick-Howard's real biography isn't nearly as interesting as the one she's made up in her head so she'll leave you with that one:

At the age of 3, her family sold her to a band of traveling gypsies. Forced to become a bareback rider in the circus, she spent her younger years traveling the country, living out of suitcases and selling macrame keychains on the side. At the age of 16 she became a professional yodeler but, after winning the international yodeling competition in Switzerland at 19, decided to retire at the height of her career. Now, she and her husband (an organic rutabaga farmer from Wales) live in an isolated cabin in eastern Kentucky where they play with a local mariachi band every Friday night, are involved with a murder mystery dinner theater club, and enjoy making origami owls.
