Brand New Book Coming Soon!

 


Something spooky is coming in October! My newest book is almost here. Stay tuned for a cover reveal and an official announcement of the book's release VERY soon!

Has the approach of Halloween l got you in the mood for a haunting tale? This all-new young adult novel will be right up your alley!

During the period that I was writing this manuscript, I found a gorgeous doll (pictured above) that looked exactly like one of the dolls featured in my story. I had to buy him, of course. And not long after, I hired a very talented young seamstress to create a period accurate Victorian wedding suit for him. But what part does this custom-made groom doll play in the mysterious circumstances of my story?

You will soon find out--if you dare.
