T.J. Finnel and the Well of Ghosts is an action-packed adventure novel for the 9-adult market. T.J. is an 11 year-old boy with a love of science and the stars. He and his family are living with his grandfather in a 110 year-old house that sits at the edge of the most-haunted woods in America...Harmon's Wood. With sightings of ghosts, eerie lights, and toad-like creatures roaming the forest, Harmon's Wood has caused the inhabitants of Coven Bay to lock their doors and windows at night for a hundred years; the time a mysterious well with secret symbols first appeared inside a cave deep within the trees.
When a Forest Witch named Morble comes through the well from another dimension in search of a Dark Orb and a powerful eye belonging to the Crone of the Spectre Lands, T.J's world is suddenly thrown into terror. If you loved Harry Potter or Fable Haven, you will find yourself lost in the world of T. J. Finnel and the Well of Ghosts.
When Shadows Walk
The Broussard family goes back generations. They built three plantation homes surrounding their private lake and filled them with everything wealth could provide. Yet, in the wee morning hours, when lights are extinguished and all should be at rest, something is floating along the massive stairway and tapping at doors. The sound of rushing water and tortured screams fills the hallways of these monied mansions. In the vast gardens of the Broussard estate, a solitary candle floats among the Windemere roses and peers into the secret folly hidden in the shadows.
Before long, Lake Broussard will witness five murders. Before Detective Hilliard and Lieutenant Calvo can solve the myriad mysteries surrounding this family, they will have to suspend their disbelief in the paranormal. For it is with the ghostly appearances and clues that they will have their only chance of putting an end to the killings before someone else dies.
There is something about a haunted house, an unsolved mystery, or a crime scene that captivates us. The clues and darkened hallways await, shrouded in secrets. Join me as we peek through the keyhole at some of the most famous hauntings and true crime events from which nightmares are born.
