If you like Odd Thomas or CBS's Ghosts...

Veronica Wilson's whole life is behind her. That's what she realizes as she stares down at her own body with its hideously broken neck and no memory of how it got that way. What was supposed to be a routine haunted house investigation quickly turned into anything but.

Cut off from the land of the living, imprisoned in a house with secrets far darker than she'd imagined, Ron's only hope is her sister, Chris, who has a gift for seeing the dead. If only she can get a message out. But something is keeping her from reaching her sister. Something dark and malevolent. Maybe the something that killed her.

Ron soon discovers she's not the house's only prisoner. Other spirits reveal themselves, some friendly, some not so much, all of them victims of the presence that stole their lives, holds them captive and keeps them in torment. Can she and the other ghosts work together to gain their freedom and move on to the other side? Somewhere buried in the house, is there a key to their release from the demon that binds them? Or are they forever doomed to remain trapped and restless?

About the author

Jean Marie Bauhaus

Jean Marie Bauhaus is both a traditionally-published and indie author of seven novels and counting, as well as a number of novellas and short stories. She also writes freelance articles about dogs and cats for a living.
​​​​​​​
Born and raised in Oklahoma, she currently makes her home in the middle of the woods deep in the Ozark mountains with her husband of 18 years, a velociraptor in the guise of a German shepherd named Dixie, a green-eyed floof named Olive, two box turtles and a flock of ducks and chickens. When she’s not writing about ghosts, zombies, vampires and other things that go bump in the night, she can usually be found hiking the side of the mountain or trading her keyboard for knitting needles and curling up with a mug of tea and a horror podcast.

Or at the microwave, re-heating her tea because she forgot to drink it before it got cold. #writerproblems
​​​​​​​
Jean has a Bachelor of Science in Social Science, Psych/Soc emphasis, which means she’s smart enough to finish college but not smart enough to choose a major that’s actually useful. But it comes in handy for building psychological character profiles and developing post-apocalyptic societies.
​​​​​​​
Easily spooked by ghost stories as a child, teen Jean faced her fears by forcing herself to watch horror movies and read Stephen King until she fell in love with the genre. As a grown-up (more or less, depending on who you ask), her tastes expanded to include a broader range of speculative fiction and romance, but she keeps coming back to the supernatural and paranormal. She has a strong affection for all things zombie-related, which is a good thing considering she wrote an entire trilogy in that genre.
