A dark family secret prompts a ghost to wreak havoc in this spooky novel in the spirit of Mary Downing Hahn. The only life 12-year-old Emily has ever known is the cold, unloved existence of being an orphan. But everything changes when the Thorntons, a young couple from London, adopt Emily, whisking her away to a new life at their grand estate. At first, life at Blackthorn Manor is wonderful. But as Emily explores the grounds and rooms, she stumbles upon a mysterious girl named Kat, who appears to be similar in age, and the two become fast friends. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Kat seems to know a curious amount about the estate, and strange things happen whenever she's around. In one case, Emily narrowly avoids getting toppled by a bookcase in the library; in another, the fire erupts in the fireplace, nearly burning Emily's hands. It's almost as if someone -- or something -- wants Emily dead. Emily must find out what happened to the Thorntons and, more important, how Kat is connected to these strange goings-on at Blackthorn Manor before it's too late!

I developed a deep love for courageous heroes, dastardly villains, and enchanting worlds from the cartoon shows, books and graphic novels I read as a kid. Drawing inspiration from these fantastical works of fiction, I wrote my first novel in college while I was getting my bachelor’s in Mass Communication from Louisiana State University. My passion lies in children’s fiction, reading and writing both MG and YA. I have a weakness for magic, anything classical, all kinds of mythology, and I’m a sucker for tragic heroes. Other than writing and cuddling with my morkie puppy, Delphi, I love catching up on the latest superhero TV show, practicing yoga, and listening (and belting) to my favorite music artists and show tunes.
