Paranormal Cozy Mystery
Once Ghosted, Twice Shy
Professor Pickett in the cafe with the Mardi Gras beads?
New Orleans ghost tour gift shop manager, Paige Harrington makes a wish for her twenty-fifth birthday: to find the one thing she can be as passionate about as her cancer researcher parents. She doesn’t, however, expect her calling to come in the form of a mysterious app on her phone that matches her up with the ghost of a cute bartender who wants her to solve his murder. Nor for her pet hedgehog, Auguste, to start talking to her with a French accent.
When her favorite professor turned cafe owner, Liz Pickett is framed for the murder, Paige can’t sit by and let all of this happen. Even if uncovering the truth means tangling with the Enclave, a secret society with the power and connections to make someone like her asking too many questions disappear without a trace.
With the Enclave and their dark secrets dogging at her heels, Paige will have to step up her sleuthing skills and unmask the real killer before she ends up their next victim.

What Readers are Saying about the Ghosted Series
NetGalley reviewer
“A little paranormal + a little hedgehog = the cutest book to get you in the mood for spooky season!”
Negalley Reviewer
An exciting, fun, and gentle cozy mystery with lots of cool paranormal elements. The author creates a fantastic world set in New Orleans, with sleuths, ghosts, and a talking hedgehog! I loved the main character, Paige, and her circle of friends — it's one of the things I love most about cozy mysteries, how the sleuths often form a found family of hilarious and smart people. The elderly ghost grandma is THE BEST.
