Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I have five published books in the Haunted Historical Mystery Series and will have two more published in 2024 – Seraphim and A Wiccan Haunting. In this series I endeavor to take my readers on a journey around the United States and around the world to be fascinated by our history in a series of chilling books I hope you will love.
In my standalone book, A Haunted Madness, I use a blend of mystery and paranormal elements to weave together secrets and revelations in a gripping story. I hope that you will enjoy this book of intrigue and suspense that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
When I'm not writing, my husband and I are camping, roasting marshmallows and enjoying family with our two cats, Jelly Bean and Smokey. Any questions or comments?
A Ghost's Calling - A Captivating Return to Whisper Hollow
What a delightful discovery! Regina Wixon and Deborah Cuyle have created something truly special with *A Ghost's Calling*. As someone who loves a good cozy mystery, I was completely drawn into Olivia Shaw's journey back to her hometown of Whisper Hollow.
From the moment Olivia returns to this atmospheric New England coastal village, you can practically feel the fog rolling in from the sea. The authors brilliantly weave the setting into every scene—when the weather turns stormy and the fog thickens, you just know something dramatic is about to unfold. It's deliciously atmospheric without being overdone.
But what really sets this book apart is the innovative use of interactive images! Being able to click on character illustrations and landmarks like Bea's Book Haven and The Daily Grind coffee house adds such a rich, immersive layer to the reading experience. It's like having a visual guide to Whisper Hollow right at your fingertips. Absolutely genius!
Olivia is exactly the kind of protagonist I love—determined, resilient, and willing to put herself in genuine danger to uncover the truth about a century-old death that still haunts her hometown. The mystery itself is expertly paced, with Olivia following one lead to another as past crime scenes suddenly come alive around her. The writing is gorgeous too, with memorable phrases like "velvet dust" that make you pause and appreciate the craft.
If you're a fan of cozy paranormal mysteries with strong female leads, atmospheric settings, and historical intrigue, this book is an absolute must-read. I'm already hoping for a sequel—I need more time in Whisper Hollow!
Highly recommended for anyone who loves their mysteries with a touch of the supernatural and a whole lot of heart. 🎃👻📚
O,... and there are also some recipes at the back of the book that I am going to try!
