I have just completed the manuscript for a young teen paranormal novel, The Secrets of Hawthorne House. The book is currently being edited and the cover art will be produced next month. I am currently looking for beta readers.

Fifteen-year-old Matt Mitchell was having the worst summer imaginable. Matt’s misery started when his mother was killed by a drunk driver. Then Matt’s father moved him and his sister to a small town in rural Indiana, as far as his grieving father could get from the ocean that Matt and his mother had loved. At the new high school, Matt became the new kid who three bullies were determined to make miserable. And then to top it off, Matt learned that the recluse who lived in the dilapidated Victorian mansion next door was none other than Old Lady Hawthorne, the town’s most infamous murderess and witch. Matt’s terrible summer was turning into an awful autumn when something quite unexpected happened. Old Lady Hawthorne’s niece and her three children moved in next door, and Matt met Gerallt.
