Despite covering so much of Carey's life events, this dark YA managed to remain tight and well-paced, as well as realistic in its horror and the challenges Carey faces. "We make attachments to what's familiar. We find the beauty, even in the lack. Tha...more |

“I didn't avoid my problems. I just didn't feel as though I had to focus on them every minute of every day. And telling people about certain aspects of my life would only create trouble. If I was guilty of anything, it was of trying not to bring new problems into my life. That wasn't avoidance. That was logical thinking.”

Hi Mara.... I got my signed copy of Beyond the Grave today!!!! Thank you soooooo much and I am starting the series today!!!
hi mara, thanks for accepting my add! can't wait to read beyond the grave, as soon as it releases :)
Hi Mara! I just started and finished Past Midnight and Raising the Dead yesterday and can't wait to get my hands one One Hundred Candles! I've always been a bit fan of ghost stories, and I love what you've done so far! You must have done a ton of research :) can't wait for more!

Hi- Just to let you know...Peter: a Darkened Fairytale
AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW!!! DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER

Best wishes, William
I finished Past Midnight earlier today and loved it! Can't wait for the second installment. Alas, you have to be 18 to download Raising the Dead...4 months away doesn't count. But anyway, Past Midnight was great, and as someone who lives in Charleston, I would like to thank you for doing it right in your book. So cool to find a book with at least some of it set locally! Especially one with a good story. :)
Hi Mara - Thank you for your friendship. Please visit my website http://www.peteradarkenedfairytale.co.uk
to view a sample page and many other snippets about the book.
Expected release date mid-late Jan.
Best wishes, William
