Hattie Vavaseur
#1 International Audible & Kindle Bestseller
"A deliciously supernatural mystery and love story best paired with a glass of a sherry, a crackling fire, and a keen eye for secret messages hidden throughout." -BestThrillers.com

If you enjoy the suspense of Agatha Christie, the cerebral Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the descriptive writing style of Daphne du Maurier, or the humor of P.G. Wodehouse, you'll adore this supernatural mystery, sprinkled with humor and romance. Watch out for secret messages hidden throughout the text!
Suffering from memory problems in her old age, Hattie Vavaseur is swept off to a curious, old mansion, where she meets the enigmatic and volatile master of the house.

I wanted to follow up Hattie Vavaseur, but I didn't necessarily want to write a series. Instead, I chose to use a crossover character, Vamelda Anstruthers, the medium who helps Hattie along her journey. As far as Verity Easton goes, I was kind of feeling powerless in my life and noticed that other women I knew were feeling the same, due to societal pressures and people-pleasing habits. I felt like they needed a voice that didn't necessarily end with her becoming a badass, but rather, by making the ultimate sacrifice.
