STILL HERE
Mara Ellison just signed the cheapest lease in the city. She's about to find out exactly why.
Six weeks after her PhD funding collapses out from under her, Mara moves into a shoebox apartment two neighborhoods over from the life she used to have, ready to quietly rebuild something smaller and more manageable. What she doesn't expect is Josie, curly-haired, warm, humming Fleetwood Mac in the kitchen, utterly convinced she still lives there.
Josie doesn't know she's dead. Hasn't known for three weeks. And the moment Mara is forced to tell her, Josie's shock curdles into something colder and far more dangerous: certainty that her death was never an accident at all.
Someone erased ninety seconds of security footage the night she fell. Someone with a great deal to lose if the truth ever surfaced. And now Mara, an academic dropout with nothing left to lose and nowhere else to be, is the only person on earth who can see Josie, hear her, or help her, pulled into a live investigation involving a grieving ex-boyfriend with his own secrets, a landlord with a fortune's worth of motive, and a best friend one flickering lightbulb away from either an intervention or genuine belief.
As the evidence mounts and the danger sharpens, Mara has to decide exactly how far she's willing to go for a woman she never met while she was alive, and Josie has to face the one truth that terrifies her more than her own death: that solving the mystery might be the very thing that finally lets her go.
Equal parts ghost story, whodunit, and love letter to the friendships that change us without warning, Still Here asks what we actually owe the people we lose, and what it costs to finally let them rest.
Perfect for readers who love their hauntings warm, their mysteries sharp, and their endings earned.
