Book 1: HAUNTED HEARTS
Will Lana Malloy solve the twenty-year-old double murder of her great aunt and her great aunt’s fiancé by Memorial Day? If she can, they’ll spend eternity together; if she can’t, they’ll be stuck as Haunted Hearts for another year.

Book 2: GET OUT OR DIE
Since the news of her first case, Lana Malloy’s Private Investigating/Mediator business is booming. At one pro-bono job, Lana helps a widow communicate with her late husband and learns of a frightening new ability she wasn’t aware she possessed-an ability that could give the spirit the upper hand if she’s not careful. Lana struggles for control when she encounters the angry ghost who doesn’t want to leave and who doesn’t want the occupants of the house to stay.
Will Lana be able to control the situation or will the ghost sense he can overtake her? Does she discover other abilities she can rely on to save her?

Book 3: THE WEDDING CRASHER
Lana Malloy is marrying the love of her life, Tony Calabria. The night before, she has a vision of a disturbing wedding and wonders if it’s a premonition of her own. Feeling silly for thinking that, she proceeds with her plans as scheduled.
During their honeymoon in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Lana has visions of a young woman abducted by a madman, who will be forced to marry him if he isn’t stopped. She senses marriage isn’t the worst thing that could happen to this woman as she feels the threads of death circling her. She believes this isn’t the first woman the man has abducted and murdered; he’s killed before.
Lana can’t ignore her visions. Will Tony understand this isn’t an obsession, but a calling, and Lana has to do whatever it takes for this young woman? Will she find the victim in time? If she doesn’t, life will never be the same.

Book 4: CHRISTMAS CRUISE
Lana Malloy and Tony Calabria are ready for a much needed vacation. In the early stages of their relationship, they’d talked about taking a cruise together but have never had the chance, so they decide to take a Christmas Cruise. As Lana boards the cruise ship, she has an eerie feeling of death surrounding them. She ignores it at first thinking it’s her fear of the large ship since this was her first cruise. That night, she has a vision of one woman’s rape and murder. It’s not long before she is confronted by the spirits of other young women who had also been raped and then murdered. Now it’s up to her to find their murderer, someone who could be sailing with them. Can she help these women find the justice they deserve?

COMING THIS FALL – Book 5: HAUNTED BY HER PAST
COVER REVEAL – COVER DESIGNER: KIM COX
In HAUNTED BY HER PAST, Lana is faced with the task of helping a domestic abuse victim escape the ghost of her dead ex-boyfriend.
Jena escapes a bad relationship in Georgia only to be ambushed one night in her new Charleston home. When her ex-boyfriend finds her, she’s forced to protect herself and he’s killed in the struggle. She’s beside herself with grief, but that’s not the worst of it. Her now dead boyfriend is haunting her and he’s more abusive now than he was when he was alive.
Demi calls in a very pregnant Lana to help with the situation. Knowing Tony will be furious when he returns from his business trip, Lana tries to help from afar, but she soon discovers it is vital for her to be on the scene—stuck in the middle of an impossible situation.
How will she be able to convince a man who was abusive in life to move on so his ex-girlfriend can find the peace she deserves?
Or SAVE money by getting the entire collection in 2, 3, or 4 book sets. Also 2 book sets available in print. See Kim’s Author’s Page at Amazon for more information.

Thank you, Patricia! I’m glad you enjoyed my books. I’m almost done with book 5 and hope to publish in around September or October. Right now, I’m debating if I should’ve already ended it but with a tweak here and there, or if I need to write more. There’s one thing unresolved but I’m thinking it could’ve been resolved sooner with just a little tweaking.

Good afternoon, Kim. I thought I had watched your book trailers, but apparently not until now. Love the suspenseful music. I don’t typically care for paranormal stories, but yours seem different from what I’ve read before. Guess I’ll have to get started on the series. Thanks for sharing the photos of the Blue Ridge Mountain area. If I didn’t live on a river, I’d want to live in the mountains. Your gift from the drawing is on its way. Don’t burn the forest down…lol. Great post and fantastic Party! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Larry! We have people who live on the river here. River on one side and a mountain on the other. 😀 The best of both worlds. I have to travel some in my day job. When I go to one of the next counties over, I travel the river all the way. We don’t have the critters in our that you do though. However, we have black bears in the mountains who like to come down to get in the trash. My husband, Lee, was at his brothers which is next door working or tinkering on something. It got dark before he got home, he didn’t have his flashlight, and he walked up on a bear in a neighbors trash, It about scared him to death. Luckily the baby bears wasn’t with her or it wasn’t the same one we saw last week with the two bear cubs. The bear ran one way and Lee ran the other.

They can be read as a stand alone, but would be better if read in order. Each one has a beginning and an ending of a particular paranormal mystery. The reader does get closure at the end of each book. There is an ongoing relationship between Lana and Tony that continues to grow throughout the books as well as Lana’s gifts grow with each new book. I hope you enjoy them.
