Ghost Mortem: A Ghost Cozy Mystery Series (Haunted Everly After Book 1)

About Ghost Mortem: A Ghost Cozy Mystery Series (Haunted Everly After Book 1)

Dead exes don’t text… but they can haunt.
Everly Dupree’s fresh start is turning into a paranormal rom-com nightmare.
Husband in bed with her best friend? Check. Fired from her job at his family’s company? Check. Moved back to her hometown only to discover her parents rented out her childhood bedroom? Seems par for the course.
But it gets worse when she checks into the Bide-A-Way Motel and stumbles upon her high school ex-boyfriend’s definitely murdered body in the room next door.
And also his ghost. Who only she can see. Talk about a plot twist.
Now, Hudson Montayne is dead, pushy, and somehow even more annoying than he was at seventeen. And he refuses to rest until Everly pieces together the clues and finds his killer.
The problem? She’s no detective, and his ghostly “help” is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Everly doesn’t want to solve murders. She doesn’t want to talk to restless spirits. She just wants a cozy, quiet life, a glass of wine, and maybe five minutes to herself. Turns out, ghosts rarely take no for an answer, and she quickly realizes if she doesn’t do what Hudson wants, she’ll never get rid of him.
Between dodging nosy neighbors, navigating endless gossip, and juggling family drama, and enduring Hudson’s sarcastic commentary from beyond the grave, Everly’s sanity is hanging by a thread.
And that’s before people start suspecting she knows more about Hudson’s mysterious and perplexing death than she’s letting on.
But small-town secrets rarely stay hidden, and Hudson’s murder is just the beginning. The more Everly uncovers, the clearer it becomes—someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden.
Fresh start? More like paranormal purgatory. And in Mooselick River, everyone’s watching.

SHE FORGOT, HE DIDN’T

About SHE FORGOT, HE DIDN’T

She thought she had moved on—until one quiet message reminded her how much remembering can still ache.
She is a personal assistant with a red ribbon on her wrist, a wish jar by her bed, and a memory she stopped touching years ago.
He is a billionaire CEO used to silence, control, and success—but not the kind of healing that comes from one unresolved goodbye.
Their story isn’t told through grand gestures or dramatic reunions. It unfolds across missed calls, chai stalls, soft rains, and sentences that were never fully said.
She Forgot, He Didn’t is a quiet, emotional journey into a love that never demanded closure—just a chance to be felt again.
In sixteen breath-holding chapters, readers will find themselves inside silence, memory, and the space between two people who were never loud, but never gone.
Some love stories don’t end. They just grow quieter.
For readers who cherish emotional fiction, reflective storytelling, and the healing power of unsaid words.

Rethink Yourself: Change Your Thinking (Not Yourself) to Build Your Self-Esteem

About Rethink Yourself: Change Your Thinking (Not Yourself) to Build Your Self-Esteem

Dramatically improve your self-esteem by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Rethink Yourself offers a fresh perspective on building self-esteem by speaking to the mind, not the heart.

The root cause of low self esteem isn’t personal deficiencies, even if it feels that way—low self-esteem is a direct result of unfair and unkind self-talk. To improve your self-esteem, you don’t need to change yourself; you just need to change the way you think about yourself. And no, that doesn’t involve lying to yourself; it means ensuring your beliefs about yourself are fair and accurate, rather than warped by harsh self-criticism.

Authoritative and insightful, Rethink Yourself is an innovative step-by-step guide using methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Featuring interactive activities, Rethink Yourself is essential reading for anyone struggling with relentless self-criticism.

This book will help you:

change your negative self-talk by making it work for you, not against you
give yourself the credit you deserve without being arrogant
know and honor your innate worth
uncover positive traits you didn’t even realize you had
take your mistakes in stride
evaluate your personal qualities fairly and accurately
communicate with confidence
. . . and so much more!

Building your self-esteem isn’t about feeling inspired to somehow uncover your hidden confidence, and it’s certainly more nuanced than just looking in the mirror and telling yourself you’re awesome. It’s about changing those deeply held beliefs about yourself that keep you from accepting yourself as you are.

Are you ready to finally start feeling good about yourself?
