    The Haunted Seniors of Specter County Series

    About this series

    Living next door to the local senior center, ten-year-old Henry finds refuge from the school bully among the quirky retirees. He grieves the loss of Ernest; his elderly friend and mentor. Unbeknownst to Henry, Ernest’s ghost lingers nearby. The spirit watches over the boy while attempting to guide his aged friends to the evidence that will incriminate the men responsible for his death.
    The only person capable of seeing Ernest in his spectral form is Betty, his befuddled wife. But given that Betty suffers from dementia, no one believes her clairvoyant claims. Sal, a disabled veteran with a talent for finding clever uses for ordinary objects, has vowed to help his late friend’s widow however he can. He is joined by Betty’s friend Phyllis; a hoarder whose colossal handbag contains an abundance of ordinary objects, plus a tiny dog with a knack for locating items within the enormous bag.
    Hunted by desperate criminals and driven by supernatural forces, can Henry and this group of elderly misfits solve a deadly mystery before it is too late?

      “I think I found it,” Ryan said. He used a surgical instrument to pull a small, plastic wrapped package from Grace’s abdomen. He handed it to Lana. Ryan stitched the incision, while Lana rinsed the strange little package in the sink. “They look like c-coins,” she said. “B-But I don’t recognize the c-currency.” Lana carefully opened the package to reveal three gold disks. They had strange markings and appeared to be very old. Once the incision was closed, Ryan carefully laid the unconscious dog on the blanket to recover. Zena padded over and sniffed the wound on Grace’s belly while Ryan and Lana looked at the coins. “I don’t recognize them either,” Ryan said. “Usually if a dog swallows a coin, it’s a common penny or quarter... these coins are very unusual, and were packaged as though they were put there on purpose. Smugglers sometimes use animals to transport contraband.” Zena gave a sudden, warning growl. Ryan felt a blinding pain right before the world went black and he crumpled to the floor.
