Death is one thing, it's what you do afterward that matters.
Aspiring-comedian Raely is the sole survivor of a disastrous train wreck. Faced with the intense grief of losing her best friend, she realizes that someone is following her―and has been following her all her life. Trouble is, no one else can see him. For a ghostly tag-along, Casper’s not so bad. He might even be the partner Raely needs to fight the evil spirit hell-bent on destroying her.
Raely and her friend must learn why this demonic spirit is haunting Raely and how she can stop him before he destroys her life―and her soul. Which, much to her chagrin, means she needs the help of a psychic (although she’s sure they are all charlatans) and must rid herself of the pesky ghost hunter who’s interested in exploiting her new abilities.
For readers who enjoy Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and Clay McLeod Chapman’s Ghost Eaters.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF ROMANTASY, PARANORMAL, SCI-FI, & FANTASY
I started writing at a young age and always loved stories that I got lost in and characters who became my friends. I wrote my first novel at thirteen, in pencil, on that gray, recycled paper they had in the ‘90s. I still have the pages. All 636 of them. In high school and college, I also pursued passions in theatre, painting, and piano, and my writing took on a more practical bent. I became a yearbook section editor, which lead to a second degree in Mass Communication. (My first was in Theatre, of course.) I wrote for online publications like CBS Local and Examiner.com before finally starting my first blog. I got serious about fiction writing in 2018 and since then have written nine novels, all with a fantasy or speculative bent.
