A #1 Amazon Bestseller!
Brandy's ghost has a message to share...

My debut novel, Silver Lake, made the news in Texas!  The Kilgore Herald did a story on writers' connections to states and listed 50 books set in Connecticut...Silver Lake is about halfway down the page at #26.  To see my name on a list with authors such as Nora Roberts, Lauren Oliver, Wally Lamb, Ira Levin, J.D. Robb, Mark Twain, Lisa Scottoline, Madeleine L'Engle, and so many other very well known authors is such a thrill!  On the list are best-selling titles like The Witch of Blackbird Pond (loved this when I read it in my preteens!), The Stepford Wives, A Wrinkle in Time...you can check out the entire list by clicking here!  

I don't actually live in Connecticut...the majority of my titles are set on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.  But my husband went to college there and I had some logistical things I needed for the story that made Connecticut work perfectly.  The town is fictional (Westgate), as is this particular Silver Lake, but there are many similar lakes in the state.  Candlewood Lake, a man-made lake with the remnants of a village and farming equipment resting beneath its surface, is real and is featured in my book, which combines romantic suspense with a chilling ghost story.

I did visit Candlewood Lake, and some nearby kettle ponds, which is what Silver Lake is, in 2010, when I was writing the manuscript.  I wanted to get a good sense of the surroundings where I was setting my scenes.

It's the perfect season to cozy up with a ghost mystery, and Silver Lake's blurb is below.  And if you want more books filled with steamy romance, dangerous secrets, and haunting mysteries, check out my Amazon Author Page!  Happy Haunted Reading 👻

Rain Anderson can't decide which is more unsettling--encountering the ghost of her missing friend, or reuniting with the man whose love she foolishly rejected. But one thing is certain: the past has come back to haunt her, quite literally.

Five years ago, Rain's tight-knit group of high school friends unraveled when one vanished during their senior year. Now, a parent's deathbed request has reunited the friends at Silver Lake, including Jason Lansing, the man Rain discarded.

Rain and Jason discover the powerful attraction between them has survived, but though Jason is willing to forgive, he can't let himself forget. The possibility of falling for Rain again is too risky.

Slamming doors, crashing objects, flaring fires--clearly the ghost has a message to share. As Rain and Jason struggle to unravel the truth, they must face a desperate spirit in need of help--and a burning passion that refuses to die.
