Fallen Wishes (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper 17) is out now!

Just in time for the haunted holidays, there's a new Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper mystery available!

In this one, Ellie visits another Southern city full of live oak, centuries-old mansions, and ghosts—Charleston, South Carolina, where she and Stacey investigated a haunted historic plantation known for its breathtaking gardens adorned with statuary and architectural follies. An old wishing well deep within the gardens attracts trespassers drawn by local legends of its power. I was fortunate to be able to visit Charleston and tour locations like Middleton Place and Magnolia Gardens for some historical research and inspiration on this one.

As usual, I will release the book everywhere for the benefit of those readers who really want it on Nook or Apple instead, but after about 30 days it will become exclusive to Amazon so it can go into Kindle Unlimited.

I hope you enjoy it! I'm now deep into writing the next Ellie book, Sunset House, and expect it to be ready in January or February, so watch for news about that one, too!

After that, I'm planning to add another Ellie Jordan and then another book to the werewolf series, The Night Folk, which is sort of the “side” project right now but one I'm really enjoying. I expect Night Folk to be a limited series, maybe three to five books.

Happy Halloween! 

Do you like werewolves?

I hope you answered "yes" or at least "sometimes, I guess?" because my new book Sable comes out this week. The main character, Alice, is a werewolf trained by an ancient order to hunt other, more malevolent members of her own kind. 

You can see the full description, etc. on Amazon. I'm excited/nervous to start this new series, and I hope you enjoy it!

Ellie fans: the next book, Fallen Wishes, should be out in September or October. I'm working on it now, and it's a lot of fun!

New Ellie book coming soon!

Just letting you know that The Lodge, the fifteenth book in the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper series, is almost ready and should be out sometime in late August. You can pre-order on Amazon or Nook to make sure you receive the book the moment it's available! I hope you enjoy this new mystery with Ellie and Stacey.

More than a century ago, the Sea Islands of Georgia's coastline were the playground of the ultra-wealthy. Carnegies, Rockefellers, and other aristocrats of the Industrial Age built luxurious southern beach retreats on islands like Cumberland and Jekyll to escape the icy winters of New York. In time, the grand mansions were abandoned and fell into disrepair, surrendered to the weather and the wilderness.

A secretive client hires Ellie Jordan to investigate one such island, home to a sprawling estate modeled after a royal hunting lodge. Someone is trying to bring the neglected island back to life, but the shadows of its gilded past remain strong, stalking the galleries and winding corridors.

The mysterious grand lodge is more than it seems, and its restoration has unearthed profound evil. Ellie and Stacey must face the lodge's dark history and drive its paranormal inhabitants back into the world of the dead before they can do more harm to the living.

Midnight Movie, the 14th Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper book, premieres today!

I'm very happy to announce that the latest Ellie case, Midnight Movie, is now available! This one features a haunted drive-in movie theater and a young family struggling to restore it. This was so much fun to write and I'm excited for everyone to read it!

The links are below--PLEASE NOTE that the new book will move into Kindle Unlimited in 30 days, and the ebook will not be available outside of Amazon after that.

Happy reading!

New release this weekend!

The fourteenth Ellie Jordan book, Midnight Movie, goes live this weekend! Now I'm just posting to make sure this shadowy old blog still works. Did you hear a creaking sound in here? I thought I heard something.

Ellie Jordan is going into Kindle Unlimited!

Starting this month, the Ellie Jordan series will be available to read through Amazon's Kindle Unlimited program for a period of at least 90 days. Many readers have asked me to try this out. This also means the ebooks will not be available on other retailers during that time.

Here is the link to the Ellie Jordan series on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C1NNQ1

The upcoming twelfth book in the series, The Necromancer's Library, is also available to pre-order on Amazon. (The current release date is 10/31/2020, but that's kind of a joke; I expect the book to go live by April. Anyone who preorders will automatically receive it the instant it's available!)

Get ready for a whole new season of Ellie Jordan books this year!

Ellie Jordan ebook boxed set is currently free!

Latest news: For a limited time, readers can grab the Ellie Jordan boxed set for free on most ebook platforms. This is a great time to recommend the series to anyone you think might enjoy it!

This free three-book deal is available for now on:

In other news, this is a new blog, replacing my long-neglected old one that I stopped using when the comment section stopped working. Hopefully this new blog will be glitch-free. I'll keep this one updated with any major news!

Happy reading!
