The Haunting of Ivy May

Haunted House

Renovating a haunted house isn’t part of the plan. When Ivy May moved to Mistwick, West Virginia, she was starting over after the divorce from her cockroach of an ex-husband.

Although she’s ready to remodel her cozy Victorian fixer-upper, known as Buttercup Cottage, the locals’ strange behavior is a mystery and none of the contractors will work with her, except a feisty and fashionable newcomer willing to take a chance on her.

But Ivy’s first night in Buttercup Cottage is a nightmare starring the ghost of a wailing woman. Ivy can’t shake the feeling that her nightmare was more than just a vision. The reality of living with a terrifying ghost could ruin her dream of a magical midlife re-invention.

The local tea shop owner seems helpful — too helpful — but even she seems secretive when she mentions that Ivy has a gift. What gift? A gift for picking loser husbands is the only gift she possesses.

And who is the handsome mystery man hanging around Buttercup Cottage? Is the the one leaving threatening notes in her mailbox? Or is he the partner she’s always dreamed of?

Ivy has to face down a ghost, a greedy ex-husband, and a town full of skeptics to make her dream a reality. Otherwise, every penny of her inheritance will be wasted and she’ll have to admit she can’t make it on her own.

It’s not until Ivy realizes she doesn’t *have* to do it alone that her story looks like it might have a happy ending.

**Trigger Warning** This paranormal women’s fiction is a haunted cozy mystery, and therefore doesn’t include any overtly brutal, graphic, violent, or traumatizing material. However, people who are easily triggered by their past experiences may wish to read with caution. I don’t want to be specific here because the warning would give away the mystery. Please know the issue is a small part of the story; it is handled with respect; and it is “healed” before the book ends.

Praise for The Haunting of Ivy May

This is so cute I could just die! What a wholesome and sweet book. I initially picked it up because she calls her ex husband and cockroach and I liked her moxie but the entire book is amazing. It has all my favorite things: People hating on an ex husband, an old house, a lesbian bestie, small town charm, a mystery, and references to good food. – Jamie P., Goodreads

The descriptive writing was phenomenal. It was so easy to picture what was going on. – Alison J., NetGalley

When I first published 🔎Roadside Homicide🔎, before Amazon figured out who to show my book to, I received a couple of reviews that criticized my book for depicting a same-sex wedding that takes place in a church. One of them claimed they had never heard of such a thing.😂
