What’s almost here? Why, the holidays of course! And also, Book Three of my multi-award-winning, bestselling series, THE GHOST CHRONICLES! I want to thank all of my fans who have been waiting so long and yet so patiently for the finale to this series. As many of you already know, a member of my immediate family was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. So this threw our lives for a loop and obviously caused a big delay in publication of Book Three. But life is now back on track and a publication date for Book Three will be announced very soon! So, if you haven’t already, now is the best time to gobble up the first two books! My deepest gratitude goes out to all of my fans, especially those who reached out to inquire about Book Three and offer their support! You all are amazing!

TWO GHOSTS FALLING IN LOVE IN THE AFTERLIFE.

AN EPIC WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.

ONE UNFORGETTABLE GHOSTLY ADVENTURE.

Can Michael get to heaven before the devil gets him first, and if it means leaving Sarah is he sure he still wants to go?

Michael Andrews had everything – a loving family, a great girlfriend and a promising basketball career. That was before the accident that took his life. Now, he’s a ghost, wandering among the living, struggling to understand why he’s stuck. All he wants is to move on.

That is until he meets Sarah, an attractive young girl who died just as tragically as he did. The only trouble is falling in love and binding oneself to another soul is forbidden, for it may keep one or both of the souls bound to earth for longer than they should be.

To make matters worse, there’s also a danger in going too far with Sarah, because the “joining” of two souls in the afterlife is also strictly forbidden and they don’t know what will happen if they do go that far. Each time they touch they can feel the boundaries of their energies slipping perilously into one another.

Things get even more complicated as Michael learns he’s being pursued. Demons are after him because he’s a marked soul, a soul the devil wants very badly for some unknown reason.

So, maybe falling in love in the afterlife isn’t such a good idea.

THE GHOST CHRONICLES was partly inspired by the legend of a haunting at the Angel of the Sea bed and breakfast in Cape May, NJ. If you’d like to find out more about the inspiration for this exciting series, you can read this post: INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GHOST CHRONICLES

Happy Holidays!

We are only TWO MONTHS away from the publication of FRANCES AND THE MONSTER (Harper Childrens) by Refe Tuma! The book releases on 8/23/22 in hard cover, digital, and audio! And the glowing reviews are pouring in!

“[Frances’] memorable adventure, with strong echoes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, plays out against a colorful background as she confronts who she is in a truly shocking finale. A fast-paced and remarkably original tale.”  — Kirkus Reviews

“A page-turning adventure with a lot of surprises along the way. Frances and the Monster is a joy to read!” — New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix

A captivating tale filled with monsters, marvels, and misadventures, Frances and the Monster is gripping, inventive, and deeply moving. Tuma’s middle-grade debut is a harrowing and heartfelt tribute to owning your scars and learning to turn them into stars.” — Alysa Wishingrad, author of The Verdigris Pawn

“A thrilling adventure that does not shy away from hard topics like grief, death, anxiety and what it truly means to find your place in this world. Refe Tuma proves that with friendship and love even death isn’t the end.” — Ally Malinenko, author of Ghost Girl

“This book has twists, turns, and surprises galore…And the ending, holy moly! No spoilers here, but this is the kind of book you’ll want to talk about with a friend.” — Ben Gartner, author of The Eye of Ra series

What would you do if you accidentally brought a monster to life and set him loose on your town? 

Adventurous and charming, this middle grade twist on Frankenstein features a precocious main character who does just that. Perfect for fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak and the Greenglass House series.

Frances Stenzel was just trying to prove her scientific worth to her parents so they would take her with them to their scientific symposiums for once—instead, she reawakened her great-grandfather’s secret and most terrible invention.

Before it can destroy the town, she sets off after it, with her pet chimp and sarcastic robot tutor by her side. But monster-hunting isn’t easy, and she’ll have to face a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship ahead—all while the trail for the monster goes cold and time is running out before her science career, and the city itself, are doomed forever.

Full of thrills and heart alike, Frances and the Monster takes readers through winding streets and over perilous rooftops, with wily monsters, unpredictable twists, and powerful friendships waiting along the way.

Don’t miss out on the pre-order!
