edit data

Trisha Slay grew up in a haunted house ... now she writes about restless spirits.

Unhaunted (A White Crow Mystery) is filled with supernatural suspense. Her debut novel — Not So Long Ago, Not So Far Away — is a quirky coming-of-age story with an underlying mystery.

When she isn't hunched over a computer, she enjoys hiking with her husband and dog, hunting down new ghost stories, exploring historic cemeteries, sampling red wine, flying her geek flag, and reading, reading, reading as many amazing books as possible.
