Meet Sloane Patel 🔬👻 Microbiologist. Skeptic. Amateur ghost hunter. She believes in science… but her sarcasm suggests she’s seen some things. Out Like a Lighthouse • May 1

Author copies arrived yesterday and seeing a full box of my books is such a surreal feeling. Out Like a Lighthouse is the start of a new Cape Cod ghost hunting series 👻🌊 Out May 1.

The next character from Out Like a Lighthouse is Evan Mallory. Divorced dad, electrician, and somehow an amateur ghost hunter. Practical, reliable, and just skeptical enough to question everything. Until they find a dead body. Out May 1 👻

Meet Harlow Whitlock 👻 Fifth grade teacher by day, amateur ghost hunter by night in the coastal town of Saltcliff. She’s the first character from Out Like a Lighthouse, book one in the Cape Cod Spirit Society Mystery series. Stay tuned for more character intros! 📚👻

A ghost hunt. A seaside town. A very real murder. Out Like a Lighthouse Book 1 in the Cape Cod Spirit Society Mysteries Coming May 1 👻🔎🌊

My author proof of Out Like a Lighthouse is here and I cannot stop staring at it. Book three. First in the Cape Cod Spirit Society Mystery series. A little more romcom. A little sassier. So much fun. Out May 1. I cannot wait for you to read
