The Hauntings of Cold Creek Hollow

Several years later, she has finally managed to blend in, but her hard-won peace is threatened by the arrival of a bumbling team of paranormal investigators. Mia is drawn in reluctantly as an adviser on what, at first, seems to be a fairly straightforward case, only to discover that the Hollow has much more in store for her. An ancient evil is rising in Cold Creek Hollow. What begins as a ghost hunt will become a fight for survival.

A sensitive and two ghost hunters walk into a bar. The barman is silent and the barflies long dead. Sounds like the start of a joke, but it’s not. An active haunt in a derelict biker bar on Route 66 is a dream come true for the PEEPs team until it turns violent. An SOS is sent to Mia Cooper who hits the open road with her ghostly pal Murphy riding shotgun. Together, they try to enter the haunted building only to be repelled by the building itself. They can’t get in, and the ghosts can get out.
Courtney Fairchild wanted a rich husband and wasn’t going to let a little thing like death stand in her way. Hit by lightning as she walked along an exclusive Floridian beach, her soul was fused together with the sand, creating a beautiful specimen of fulgurite, which finds a home at the Chicago Field Museum. Released into the museum, Courtney roams from display to display, looking for a way out of her glass prison.
Join Mia and the PEEPs team on an adventure from the cultural confines of Chicago’s Field Museum down Route 66 to Lucky’s Bar where evil is always on tap.

He’s been haunted since he was a child. This may have been the impetus behind him co-founding PEEPs, but it has also kept him from enjoying a good night’s sleep.
After accepting a job offer to go through Mike’s mother’s estate, Mia discovers that Mike’s personal haunt has ties to the ghost town that is Lund, Illinois. Can Mia, Murphy and the PEEPs team uncover the hidden secrets of a town long dead in time to save the life of one of their own?

From the maids perpetually making up the beds to a banshee screaming in the upper hall, this house is more than hot with activity, it’s boiling.
Mia, Murphy and the team take on ghosts who not only want to harm each other but all those who tread upon the floorboards of their home. They no sooner rest one ghost when two more pop up. It’s a whack-a-mole game with dangerous consequences.

Old Bones
(Haunted Series Book 7)

In this ninth novel of the Haunted Series:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a wedding looms on the horizon. Mia and Ted have cold feet, but it’s not from wedding jitters.

Can Mia and the PEEPs team help these children before the ghosts become more destructive?
Just when Mia and Ted think they are out of the woods, Sheriff Ryan pulls them back in. “Nothing good ever came out of Sentinel Woods.” This warning echoes in Mia’s mind as she, Ted and Murphy search for seven missing teenagers. Their hunt takes the couple deep into a hundred acres of sinkholes, quicksand and ancient trees, all governed by a vengeful deadly spirit.
Meanwhile, Ralph has been planning a “respectable spectacle” of a wedding for the young couple. With him in charge, it’s full steampunk ahead.

Are all rules made to be broken? And if so, what are the consequences? Burt has just broken his number one rule in paranormal investigating, never hunt alone, and he’s regretting it.
The ghost hotel, the Dew Drop Inn, has been serving the lost travelers of southern Wisconsin for decades. It provides a bed and breakfast to the lost and weary traveler, then disappears the next day never to be seen by the guests again. Burt has been interested in this urban legend for quite some time. He caught the scent of the fabled ghost inn and took off without out informing his fellow Paranormal Entity Exposure Partners, and now he’s missing. Fortunately, his obsessive method of tracking the B&B has left a trail of muffin crumbs for Mia, Murphy and the PEEPs team to follow. Will they find him in time, or will Burt become a permanent guest of the hotel and not be checking out?

Ice and Steel PEEPs Lite 9.2
(Haunted Series)
Naomi Seeley woke at three a.m. to a chorus of moans and screams coming from the walls of her posh condo. Was the plumbing protesting the brutal Chicago winter? Were the icicle-draped eaves moaning for spring? Or was Naomi’s past reaching out to hurt her?

It has been two years since the horrors there were successfully dealt with. But what happened to the ghosts that retreated to the sanctuary of the houses? Should she let sleeping ghosts lie?
In the middle house, an evil stirs behind its stone walls. It calls to its minions, gathering its forces. Mia is alerted to the gathering by a spirit tracker, one of a pair of spectral bounty hunters who have been following the path of a powerful soul-jumper who has arrived in the hollow.

Renovation
(Haunted Series Book 11)
It’s do-it-yourself season, and the DIY projects are in full swing with enthusiastic homeowners tearing down walls, sanding old floors and waking up ghosts. “It should be called DYI for do-yourself-in,” Mia commented as the calls for PEEPs flood the switchboards and crash their computers. Or did something else crash them?
Meanwhile, Angelo searches for the soul of his lost friend. If there is the faintest possibility that Father Santos is still alive, Angelo pledges to find him, even if it means his own demise.

On a quiet street in the suburbs of Chicago sits an ordinary ranch home built in the sixties. Inside, a young couple rests comfortably until there is a scratch at the door…
Something inhabits the Madisons’ home. It feeds off of memories and produces hallucinations that will isolate and confuse the ghost hunters until it can get its hands on them. The physicality of the presence sends pregnant Mia to the bench, in this case, the command center. The other PEEPs no sooner step inside the door before they are greeted with their worst nightmares. Even Murphy is plagued by demons of his past.
With Mia sidelined, and Murphy unable to function, PEEPs accept the help of Father Santos’s group. They too have never dealt with an entity as powerful as this. But don’t worry, Gerald Shem knows a guy who knows a guy…

Mia is taking it easy while the PEEPs struggle with an infestation of poltergeists. Meanwhile, Big Bear Lake braces for the approach of the first winter storm. Two feet of snow is expected. Murphy has cut enough wood for four winters, so there is little worry about the approaching storm.
But the storm that is approaching is one no one can prepare for. It has little to do with snowflakes, but the fast accumulation of them isn't helping. This holiday the “unexpected visitor” won’t be leaving the Martin household with presents under the tree, but taking something back with him, something or someone very valuable.

NOLA
(Haunted Series Book 14)

Mia assumed that she was just replacing a team member who had fallen ill, but there is more at stake in the Big Easy than it appears. A soul eater has been released in the French Quarter, and according to Judge Roumain, only Mia has the skills to fight it.
Meanwhile, the PEEPs are investigating the Little Goodwin Village Library where a bevy of ghosts have entered and have yet to check out. Without Mia, they have to do things the old-school way, relying on Murphy to communicate with the dead.
Separated from each other, Mia and PEEPS will be tested to see if they have what it takes to cross the lost and, in Mia’s case, survive NOLA.
“NOLA” is the 14th full-length novel of the “Haunted Series.”
Never Forget
(Haunted Series Book 15)
Never forget that there are things in the first push of a thunderstorm that are dangerous to you: hail, plow winds, and Wanderers. These spirits cross the plains with the weather fronts. They are looking to feed off of the energy of creatures, living and dead, who have been foolhardy enough to be caught outside in the rain.
The driving rain of Illinois can stop a lot of things too. This time, it’s a semi-trailer truck carrying a pair of African elephants who become lost and can’t forget that they have been hurt. They are haunted by memories, and in Bilbo’s case, the ghost of his former maniacal trainer. Tom Braverman has asked Murphy to help him locate these creatures before they hurt someone in their panic or are preyed upon by hunters. Mia joins them, and soon she is guiding them to a place where the elephants will be safe, knowing she will have to face an old foe there first.
Never forget that that there are some entities that won’t give up, that are willing to team up with humans in order to break and drive Mia towards them.
Most importantly, never forget that someone loves you and will move Heaven and Earth to keep you from harm.

The Old House
(Haunted Series Book 16)
It’s summertime and Mia needs a break. The Paranormal Entity Exposure Partners are offered a stay at Price Hills Resort, a ski lodge with a hundred and four rooms, located at the top of one of the best non-mountainous ski runs in Wisconsin. Of course, it’s not the right season for fun in the snow, and this isn’t a vacation. PEEPs has been hired to clear the hotel of paranormal activity (mysterious slamming doors, ghostly and violent bar patrons) before they open as a family-friendly destination. The gondola will be shut down after their arrival, so PEEPs will be working in isolation with no escape but a trek on foot down difficult terrain. And the thunder is growing ever louder.
Mia and Ted have been weathering a storm of their own but still need to find shelter, a place to mend and heal without the interference of friend and foe. They pack up Brian and head to a cottage on Wolf’s Head Lake, a dead zone for cellphones and computers but a place to rest and concentrate on themselves for a change. There is just one thing in the way: the old house.
It’s just an old wreck of a building, clapboard with a stone foundation, the windows long gone, and nature has begun to settle in. It has been abandoned for too many years, but the roofline is straight and the foundation is good. Twelve-year-old Mark Leighton discovers it on the way to his favorite fishing hole and is strangely drawn to it. It consumes his thoughts during the day and calls to him at night. He tries to resist.
But the old house calls; the old house wants; the old house gets.

Have they too fallen under the influence of the ghost? Are they part of the restitution the ghost wants so desperately to have?
With every situation, there is a resolution, but with every crime, there is a restitution that must be made.

Who knowingly buys a haunted mansion in Chicago? A mansion so haunted that not even a developer will touch it? PEEPs originating partner Mike Dupree’s mother, Glenda, knows a deal when she sees it. This beautiful rose-brick mansion has stood since the Chicago fire. The interior is pristine, and the neighborhood is rapidly becoming the place to live in the Windy City. Glenda enters into a provisional sale on Rouston Rose and hires the Paranormal Entity Exposure Partners to clean house. They have one month to identify the problem and escort whomever is haunting the mansion out. If it can’t be done, Glenda is out a packet of money.
From the moment Mia steps into the house, she knows something is wrong. Her intuition has left her, and her ability to communicate silently with Murphy is gone.

Book of Souls
(Haunted Series 24)
Beverly Cooper has gone missing. Not an unusual occurrence if you know Bev, but Gerald Shem is concerned enough to bankroll sending PEEPs and the entire Martin household to Alsace, France to search for her.

PEEPs arrive under the guise of investigating Château Nocturne, the last known place Bev was seen. Angelo and Father Santos fill in for the Martins and Murphy for the first investigation. Within minutes, the ghosts of the château show themselves, and in doing so, Cid Garrett is deafened by their screams and must be taken to Angelo’s aerie to save his hearing. The investigation is scrubbed until Mia, Ted and Murphy arrive to help out.
But this is more than a rescue mission and a paranormal investigation. There is something tying in Bev’s disappearance and the sanctuary the Neyers have run since the Roman Empire. On top of it, Mia’s intuition is off. She has developed the overwhelming fear that someone she trusts is trying to kill her. Is this a remnant of her past soul’s experience with the soul of her friend or a warning that this trip will end in her death?
