As
Margaret lies in the hospital after a serious car accident, her
disembodied spirit searches for a way back to the living. Alex is
desperate to save her and the victims of his next case: an ominous
being haunting the hospital and stealing the souls of infants and the
elderly, sending them straight to Hell.

Excerpt
The football field glittered as the warm sun kissed the frosted layer blanketing the tall grass. Alex tightened the collar of his black peacoat and slipped his hands into the cover of deep pockets. Margaret was late, and the bell would ring in a few short minutes. She had to make a stop at Buttercooky Bakery for her first period class. In an attempt to understand the second language that was a common exchange in the McKenna/LaBoccetta household, she decided to take Italian, and the class was having a “Tastes of Italy” day. Since Margaret was all about the desserts and knew nothing of the baking world, she settled on the decadent treats from her favorite go-to for anything sweet. “What a lovely morning. Don’t you agree, Alex?” Alex glanced over his left shoulder. May Cunningham smiled softly as she gazed out toward the open field. “It’s nice, but I think I’d prefer it a few degrees warmer.” Alex scrunched his shoulders. “After that hellish realm you were in, I should think the crisp air would be a welcome change.” “What are you up to this morning, May?” The celestial form glided up a few rows of the bleachers and sat down. She patted the empty space beside her. Alex took the cue and followed, settling down next to her. “Nothing, really. It’s been fairly quiet since your last case. Word in the spirit world is no one should mess with Alex McKenna. He’ll have you banished to the underworld.” “You’re kidding, right?” “I pinky swear it’s true. You’ve become quite the man in the realm of the dead. But you should be careful—you know better than most that being feared also makes you a target for those who wish to gain your power.” “I will. Thanks, May.” Alex nodded and smiled. “Where’s the lovely Margaret today?” “She’s coming, just running late.” “Well then, you have a nice day, Alex, and try to stay out of trouble.” “I always do, but you know trouble never cooperates.” Alex grinned. Over the years he’d met many souls, May was by far the kindest.

Despite his great-grandmother's warning, Alex crosses the bridge between the living and the dead, sending him and his girlfriend into the world of the Academy of Souls, a high school for dead teens who are unable to complete their journey.
There, Alex meets Ophelia, Haven's teenage sister, who's been searching for her for more than a century.

Title: Alex McKenna & The Geranium Deaths
Series: The Alex McKenna Series #1
For
Alex McKenna, high school is just a distraction from the love of his
life, Margaret, with whom he can't wait to spend more time once they
get to college.
In
many respects, Alex is just an average seventeen-year-old
boy...except for the fact he's a transgender medium born from a long
line of Strega witches, possessing the ability to communicate with
ghosts.
With
the help of Margaret and his talented Strega great-grandmother, Alex
will learn how to strengthen his abilities. The dead need Alex to
help them reconcile issues they left behind—and he finds that he
needs them, too. As his abilities multiply, assisting the dead
becomes an outlet to channel his new energy, giving him the strength
to come to terms with who he is as a transgender male, and how far he
will choose to go.

Originally from New York, I've been living my author adventure in Nevada for the past thirty-six years. Ominous landscapes have served up sweet delectables for my craving mind.
When I'm not writing you can find me cuddled up with my husband, our Chihuahua-Yorkie mix, Curie, she's the sweetest girl, and completing our little family, our boy Cuba, a proud, and sometimes mushy great Dane.
My likes include, movie and TV binging, going out to eat for breakfast, and dining alfresco. Oh, and Disneyland...and coffee...and wine.
Dislikes are simple, cruelty of any kind.
