I’m beyond thrilled to share some wonderful news: Ghost Writing has been named a Shelf Media Top Notable Indie Book of 2025! This recognition means so much to me—not just as a milestone in my writing journey, but as a celebration of the story and characters that have been with me every step of the way.
For those who haven’t met her yet, Ghost Writing introduces Callie Sheffield, a ghostwriter trying to find her own voice while navigating the tangled stories of others. The novel has hit the Amazon Best Seller list, which is beyond exciting! When I first started writing, I never imagined the novel would resonate so strongly with readers, and to see it honored in this way is truly humbling.
The story continues in Ghosts of Christmas Presents, an Amazon Best Seller holiday novella follow-up that revisits characters readers have fallen in love with. It’s full of warmth, humor, and a touch of magic—the perfect way to return to Callie’s world during the holiday season.
Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, or recommended these books. Your support makes everything possible, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have you on this journey with me.
If you’re curious, I’d encourage you to take a look at reviews on Amazon or Goodreads. Ghost Writing is available most anywhere books are sold, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, local booksellers like Northshire Bookstore, and via Astralumen Press. It's also on Kindle Unlimited, so you can even read it for free if you’re a subscriber.
When you're done, definitely check out the follow-up novella, Ghosts of Christmas Presents. It’s a warm, hopeful holiday follow-up to Ghost Writing that I hope brings you just as much joy as it brought me while writing it. You can find it anywhere listed above, as well!
