Christa Carmen🌘🦉🔮 @christaqua.bsky.social · Nov 14
Surprise! This is what I've been (feverishly!) working on for the past 7 months. I'm beyond thrilled to be working with Gracie Doyle and Thomas & Mercer again (as well as Jill Marr, of course). Can't wait until next fall, when I get to haunt all my wonderful readers with this creepy new novel!!! 👻📜🖊️

Currently reading "How to Fake a Haunting," and am really enjoying it. @christaqua.bsky.social was also very nice when she signed my copy at the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival.
