Coming soon: The Ghost and the Medium, Book 30

It’s almost here! The Ghost and the Medium’s eBook goes live on Thursday, May 19, 2022. You can pre-order the eBook now, and it should be on your eBook reader when you get up that morning! Click here to find links to the vendors.

If you prefer paperbacks, you can order the regular paperback or the large print paperback at Amazon. And it might actually get to you before May 19!

Readers have been asking about the audiobook version; unfortunately I don’t have a date yet for that release. But when I know, I’ll let you know.

So, what’s next in the Haunting Danielle series? Look for Book 31, The Ghost and the New Neighbor, which is scheduled to come out in eBook format on my birthday—November 22, 2022. If you want to pre-order, click here to find a vendor currently offering pre-orders.

Hope you enjoy the new book!

Waiting for the editor…

All 29 books in the Haunting Danielle series are now available in audiobook. The Ghost and the Medium, Book 30, in the series is currently at the editor, and while I wait for its return I’m keeping busy marking chores off my to-do list.

One of the items I checked off my list today was getting a new profile picture for my book covers and social media. It’s probably one of my least favorite things to do. I’m super critical of my pictures. But at least it is done, and I don’t hate it.

Meanwhile, as I write this, I can hear activity on our property. The photo at the top of this post was just taken from my bedroom window, where I currently have my desk set up. They have started construction on our son and daughter-in-law’s house. It’s very exciting! Their house will be between the hedge and the white house in the background.

Meanwhile, as I wait for the editor to return my manuscript, I am hoping to check more items off my to-do list and then get some rose bushes planted. There is so much to do!

Writing Life

I’m between books. My 29th book in the Haunting Danielle series, The Ghost and the Church Lady, was released last Thursday. So far, I am thrilled with the response from my readers. I always get nervous when I put a new Haunting Danielle book out, especially since this is a large series. 


It will be a few weeks until I sit down at the computer and begin chapter one in Book 30, The Ghost and the Medium, which comes out May 19, 2022. Time between books, after I’ve released a book and haven’t started writing a new one, is my down time—time for me to tend to other chores.

During my last down time—which was longer than normal—I was busy moving from Arizona to Oregon and settling into our new home. I won’t have as much down time between books 29 and 30, but I still have a lot to do. Tomorrow I plan to finish up my taxes and get them off to our accountant. Which is always fun—not. Have you done your taxes yet?

I still have that knee replacement I need to squeeze in sometime. But, I haven’t heard back from my doctor yet, and I haven’t figured out what to do about Mom while I’m dealing with the knee.

When I do get to the actual writing part, where will I do it? Since I don’t have a home office here—like in our last home—I started Book 29 in the living room, yet eventually moved my desk into the bedroom, for more privacy. It’s hard for me to write when someone is in the room.

And now that we have a heater in the family barn, I might start The Ghost and the Medium in there. I claimed a nook, where I put my bookshelves, books, and rolltop desk (see top photo). 

The photo was taken over Christmas. As you can see, I am wrapped in a blanket. It was pretty cold in the barn back then, too cold to write. But we have since added a built-in heater, so I can actually use my corner office in the family barn without freezing.
