Thrilled to share these character portraits by the Thrilled to share these character portraits by the talented @lesyablackbird 😍🖤

Meet some of the key characters from my upcoming paranormal murder mystery, THE GHOSTS OF GUNFLINT BAY 👻🌻🦋

Newly orphaned and nearly penniless, the Greenslade sisters head north to their last living relative, their great uncle who keeps a lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior. But when a local girl is found drowned in the lake, it echoes the death of their uncle's sweetheart 40 years ago, and the town's suspicions turn toward him...

In these portraits, we have...

1️⃣ Evangeline Greenslade, one of our main characters. She's investigating the murder to clear her uncle's name and ensure a safe home for herself and Lucy.
2️⃣ Arthur Lee, one of the murder suspects 🗡️ and one of Evangeline's suitors.
3️⃣ Lucy Greenslade, a precocious girl who can speak to ghosts.
4️⃣ Jonah, a ghost and the younger brother of the murder victim who insists he's not dead.

Coming September 29th. Save to your TBR! Available for preorder and on Goodreads as well.
