Sometimes only a pair of sharp fangs can untangle a mystery.
Troubled psychic Fia leads a double life. As a ground pounder for search and rescue, she finds the lost and vulnerable living and brings them to safety. As a servant to an ancient and indifferent Psychopomp, her mission is no less crucial - to help the suffering dead cross over to the afterlife. Her worlds collide after a distraught woman with a gun disappears into the woods and the rescue becomes a body recovery.
When a frantic hammering erupts from the empty SAR team trailer, Fia appeals for help to Cam, irascible Brit, mentor and Psychopomp aficionado. But nothing is what it seems, and a straightforward case soon goes sideways. Will Fia and Cam be able to uncover the shocking truth behind the final act of a desperate woman and free her tortured earthbound spirit?
A compulsive read for booklovers who want to be sucked into a story, with mystery, thrills, intrigue, and misleads that will keep you guessing until the end.
The second novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.
All she needs to get a head in this world is a shovel, a pickaxe, and an alibi.
In a world where crypts, secret passages, and broken cell phones are occupational hazards, psychic medium Fia, her cantankerous mentor Cam, and canine Psychopomp Zackie face another haunting challenge. When they encounter the headless spirit of a Jacobite hero, they embark on a mission to save this cursed soul from wandering the Scottish Highlands for all eternity. But their quest for his missing head is snookered by gaps in the historical record, not to mention modern British security systems that could net them more police attention than a chip shop.
Their search is complicated by a death mask inhabited by the spirit of a Chevalier, a complex and intriguing figure from the past. This enigmatic presence could hold the key to their mission or may be manipulating them for its own ends. An old enemy of the Chevalier puts Fia and her friends in the crosshairs, adding a dangerous twist to their already perilous journey.
As Fia and Cam struggle with clues from long ago to guide their search, they rely on the support of their friends, both living and dead, to unravel the mystery. But how can they succeed when the trail they must follow is colder than a cast-iron commode?
For fans of CBS and BBC One’s Ghosts, history enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever loved a dog, the Zackie Stories offer a thrilling adventure through time and the supernatural.
The Fifth novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.
What if everything you knew about the afterlife was wrong? Welcome to Fia’s world.
Fia hates the dead. If a spirit gets too close, their final moments become her reality. It’s no big surprise she’s developed a raging case of necrophobia, and people think she owns the deluxe edition of crazy. Fia is desperate for a dead-free zone. Signing on with a wilderness search and rescue team seems like the perfect fit — no earthbound spirits in the empty woods, right?
Bad assumption. Big mistake.
By the time she sees a search dog leading a dead boy through a portal to the afterlife, Fia’s a hot mess. Struggling to survive, she’s frantic to learn how to get rid of these spirits. Cam, a snarky Brit and the K9 handler, says he can teach her how to avoid having her reality overtaken by the dead. But can Fia trust him? And it’s freaking her out that K9 Zackie is way more than she seems. To make matters worse, Cam’s first real lesson is rubbing right up against Fia’s necrophobia. If she can be overwhelmed by one spirit, how is she expected to handle a multiple haunting by victims of a murderous home invasion from more than a century ago? Fia is also falling for ghost hunter Lucas, but he is morally and ethically off-limits to her. Lucas might just prove to be a fatal distraction in this dangerous business.
This situation is code red, DEFCON 1, and Charlie Foxtrot all rolled into one. If Fia doesn’t make it, you can bet your sweet patootie she’ll be haunting Cam.

Past and present conspire against a killer’s future
In a rambling manor house nestled in the Scottish Highlands, smart-aleck American medium Fia and Psychopomp Zackie find a secret passageway that leads to a long-forgotten clan crypt. Among the moldering old bones is a baby’s fresh corpse. Nearby, a hanged man from centuries past plays the babe a lullaby on his fiddle, but her spirit will not be soothed.
When a suspicious Detective Inspector fingers Fia’s childhood friend for the baby’s murder, Fia and her cantankerous mentor Cam must find the real killer. But harnessing the otherworldly talents of stubborn and independent spirits proves tricky. Conflict among the earthbound souls and dark secrets among the living threaten to derail the investigation.
As they close in on the killer, how will Fia and Cam avoid unwanted attention from the DI when their ghostly collaborators bring answers but raise unanswerable questions?
