It's Here. The Museum is Open.

The one where I actually did it

The Museum of Ephemeral Arts: A Mel Jones Mystery is live on Amazon.

I need a moment with that sentence because I have been working toward it for a long time and it still doesn’t feel entirely real.

Here is what I can tell you about the book:

It is a paranormal cozy mystery about a woman named Mel Jones who has been aware of the dead since she was nine years old. When she takes a job as a tour guide at the Museum of Ephemeral Arts, a building dedicated to preserving the last of things, she immediately knows the east corridor is trying to tell her something. What she finds buried behind a wall built to hide it changes everything. A lost WPA mural. A Romani artist named Bette Heron who died in 1938 under circumstances nobody looked at too closely. And a love story that has been waiting eighty-six years for someone to find it.

It has a slow burn romance. A found family of museum staff who become the people Mel didn’t know she needed. A cat named Jolene who has opinions about everything and shares them selectively. And a ghost who has been waiting long enough.

I drew the cover myself. It is a cafe style pen and ink sketch of the museum and when I look at it I still get a little excited, which I think means it’s right.

The paperback is coming soon.

If you read it, I would love to know what you think. A review on Amazon, however short, makes an enormous difference for an indie author and I will be grateful for every single one.

If you know someone who loves paranormal cozy mysteries, ghost stories, slow burn romance, or museums, please send them this way.

And if you have been here since the beginning, or if you just arrived today, thank you. Genuinely. You showing up here matters more than you know.

The museum is open. Mel is waiting.
