📚✨ They’re here! ✨🎧

Not the creepy Poltergeist kind of ghosts, but my cozy haunted romance Ghost of a Chance. Today the paperback and audiobook editions officially arrive—just in time for Halloween and cozy season. 🍂☕️


I love this time of year. There’s something about baking everything apple, sneaking pumpkin spice into my coffee and tea, and watching the nights draw in that makes my soul glow.


When I was writing this book, I wanted to capture all the feelings I love most about autumn—the cozy small-town vibes, slightly spooky (but never scary) houses, and of course, dipping a toe into the paranormal…well, one kind of paranormal: ghosts!


I’ve always been fascinated by the occult, but never in a threatening way. My vibe is more Wednesday or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets Practical Magic or Casper—and that’s exactly the energy I tried to bottle in Ghost of a Chance.


So, what can you expect? A Judge Judy–obsessed ghost haunting Jasper’s textbook. Kirsty, a whimsy-goth mystery writer with fake ghost-hunting skills. And Jasper, a charming jock who’s not faking anything—especially not his attraction to Kirsty.


If this sounds like your kind of fall read, you can curl up with the paperback, PSL in hand, while the leaves crunch outside your window. Or let Kirsty, Jasper, and their meddling ghost keep you company in your earbuds, bringing all the flirty, spooky, cozy vibes wherever you go.


Grab your paperback for the shelf or download the audiobook to take the haunt with you—either way, the fun (and flirting) starts now.


Tell me in the comments—are you a fellow autumn soul, too? 🍁👻

I can’t believe there’s only one week left until the release of Ghost of a Chance (just two days if you’re in the UK)!! I’m so excited for you to meet Kirsty, Jasper, and their opinionated, Judge Judy–loving ghost.

If you haven’t yet, check out the Ghost of a Chance playlist I put together on Spotify. Music is always where I start when I’m writing—songs that set the tone for characters, the setting, and all the vibes I want to capture. This one is full of longing, moodiness, and just the right amount of spooky fun.


Not sure if a cozy, spooky romance is your thing? Here’s a taste of what to expect:

  • A meddling ghost who’s more sass than scare

  • A goth mystery author who doesn’t believe in the paranormal (even when it’s staring her in the face)

  • A charming jock who’s literally haunted and desperate for answers

  • Banter, sparks, and opposites-attract chemistry

  • All the cozy fall feels: PSLs, haunted houses, crunchy leaves, kisses in the rain, and a Scooby gang vibe


Sneak Peek:

“Great. I need you to get the ghost of my roommate out of the book. He died junior year and has been haunting me ever since.”

Kirsty crossed her arms. “I don’t do exorcisms.”

“Please. You’re my last chance.”


Will Kirsty help Jasper—or send him packing? You’ll have to read on to find out…


Ghost of a Chance hit e-readers on September 2nd, with paperback and audiobook coming on September 30. Preorder now and you’ll be the first to meet Kirsty, Jasper, and their meddling ghost the moment the clock strikes midnight. Preorder today!


Consider this your invitation to curl up with a blanket, a mug of something warm, and a romance that’s flirty, spooky, and just the right amount of cozy.


From my haunted desk to your cozy nook,

Katherine

Captain Gregg from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947). Rugged, witty, and impossible to ignore, he was the first time I realized spooky + romantic could be the perfect combo.


That vibe is exactly what I leaned into while writing Ghost of a Chance—a cozy, flirty, slightly spooky fall romance about a skeptic, a haunted hero, and one very opinionated ghost.


Who was your first ghostly crush? 👻


Ghost of a Chance ebook is out now! Paperback & audio coming later this month.
