Excited for my pub sister Rumer Haven's spooky new release! Is it just me, or does anyone else start singing that inane song "What does the fox say?" when they read the title? NEW RELEASE! Released March 18, 2016 Paranormal Women's Fiction Crooked Cat Publishing ~ * ~ Summary: Twenty-six-year-old Margot sets out on a journey of self-discovery – she dumps her New York boyfriend, quits her Chicago job, and crashes at her friend’s flat in London. Rather than find herself, though, she only feels more lost. An unsettling energy affects her from the moment she enters the old Victorian residence, and she spirals into depression. Frightened and questioning her perceptions, she gradually suspects her dark emotions belong to Charlotte instead. Who is Charlotte? The name on a local gravestone could relate to Margot’s dreams and the grey woman weeping at the window. Finding a ghost isn't what she had in mind when she went ‘soul searching’, but somehow Ma...

FOUR SOMETHINGS & A SIXPENCE by Rumer Haven Adult Contemporary Romance Available February 3, 2015  from Battered Suitcase Press (an imprint of Vagabondage Press) SUMMARY : One wedding. Six participants. Be they sitting in the pews or standing at the altar, bearing witness in person or only in spirit, each of them knows something about the unsmiling bride. Go ahead—offer them a sixpence for their thoughts, and they'll make you these vows: One would love to declare this woman his “awfully wedded wife.” One fears what she already has and will have to hold—if not from this day forward, then soon.

One worries whether today finds her in sickness or in health. And only one already knows that not even in death will they part. Whether they speak now or forever hold their peace, they all give the bride a little somethin...

Today I'm psyched to have author Rumer Haven to the blog! I loved her ghostly historical romance Seven for a Secret. After my review, stick around for the interview and giveaway. Seven For A Secret by Rumer Haven My rating: 4 of 5 stars Secret Lives, Secret Deaths "There's souls not at rest here. It's a troubled place, this." A historical romance set in Chicago, one of my favorite cities? Sign me up! The classy cover also drew me in. In the year 2000, 25-year-old Kate moves into Camden Court, an apartment complex that used to be a 1920's hotel. She meets a cast of quirky elderly neighbors who report they didn't find the former tenant Olive in Kate's apartment until three days after her death. *shudders* Then Kate gets locked in her bathroom, and it feels like she's not alone. Eek! Kate works at a museum with her boyfriend Dexter. While Dexter is sweet, he's no Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. (The 80s and 90s references made me h...
