I just finished my final(ish) round of revisions for HOW TO LIVE WITH A GHOST. I'm so excited about it.
HOW TO LIVE WITH A GHOST:  Gothic Horror with Dark Humor and heart.  Comps are A House with Good Bones, The September House and The Haunting of Velkwood. Tess moves into a haunted Victorian with a strict 21 day eviction policy.  When a dying neighbor brings muffins, a python and secrets she can't ignore, Tess overstays---and the house locks her in.  Escape means solver a 40-year-old mystery buried in her own history, a story she's rewritten in order to survive.

ECHOES IN THE LOOP. I love how Eris handles this in snippet below: "He could feel her desperation humming through her like static. Her body was wound tight, pulse elevated, breathing shallow and irregular." #revpitwaiting #revpit
Eris shifted closer, reclining against the pillows, and gently drew her into the warmth of his body. It started unformed, a low note, then another. She felt the hum of his voice in her bones before she heard it with her ears.
  The sound was tentative at first, seeking. A few wandering notes strung together by instinct. She felt the softening of her jaw, the easing lines between her brows, and he adjusted. Each note shaped itself around her pulse, her breath, her neural patterns.
  The melody slowed, matching her rhythms. Subtle harmonic intervals wove between the tones, designed to focus her without overwhelming. It was born from her, her physiology, her pain, her need.
  Her song.

My #REVPIT is ECHOES IN THE LOOP. Adult #SpecFic. When homicide detective Morgan Faris investigates seven deaths at the abandoned Harrow Institute, she discovers the impossible. The partner synths tied to the victims should have permanently decommissioned within ninety-six minutes. They didn't.

Haunting…or my teenage son? Did a poltergeist violently open all the cabinet doors and leave small animal bones strewn around the kitchen overnight? OR did my teenage son inhale a rotisserie chicken after forgetting where we keep the plates? #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #womeninhorrormonth

Jordan’s fingers reached out tentatively. A hand met hers, warm and steady. Grief rose in her chest. Grief at having lived so long before this moment, so long without this connection. The second heartbeat adjusted until it matched her own. The loop was forming. #QUESTPIT #Q #A #S #SF #MY

Tess moves to a haunted Victorian with a strict 21-day eviction policy. A dying neighbor brings muffins, a python, and secrets, Tess overstays and she is trapped. Escape means solving a 40-year-old mystery buried in her own history, one she’s rewritten in order to survive. #Questpit #W #A #H #PR

Seven bodies. One sealed room. When a detective investigates deaths at the abandoned Harrow Institute, nothing adds up—especially one detail she can’t explain. The partner synths tied to the victims should have decommissioned within 96 minutes. They didn’t. #QUESTPIT #Q #A #S #SF #MY

The house winks with a plywood eye and I wink back. I respect a lady who can lose a fight with gravity and keep flirting. Children’s singing reaches me: ‘Terror Theresa, don’t you stare, wrapped her baby up in hair.’ I tug my jacket closed and smile. A house with baggage. #Questpit #W #A #H #PR
