Meredith Singler is an unconventional West Coast beauty. Graduating at the top of her class from Stanford University, Meredith returns to her hometown of Portland, Oregon to establish herself in the world of publishing. She reconnects with a college acquaintance, who introduces her to the man of her dreams, but also to the corrupt world of international terrorism. The twists and turns that follow ultimately take Meredith to the quaint town of Larkspur, California where she seeks the solace in the Zen energy of Marin County. While the Bay Area delivers creative opportunities for Meredith and her family, the move does not come without a series of shocking events, as the past from which she left behind catches up with her. Larkspur Bungalow is an inspiring, funny, sexy, heartbreaking thrill ride with chilling moments that will cause the reader to wonder if those who pass away continue to remain in our world.

Rose Cameron holds the record for bad decisions. Not only did she drop out of grad school to get married, but her husband wasn’t who he pretended to be—and his shady business dealings threatened both her reputation and her freedom. With no job, no friends, and her bank account nearing zero, an online job posting offers a place to escape from her shattered life: house assistant in a historic manor in the tiny town of Haven Ridge, Colorado. But the Larkspur House isn't the refuge she expected. For one thing, it’s not just a house, but a derelict, honest-to-goodness American castle. For another, the co-inheritor of the house—the brusque, uptight Will Parker—makes no secret of his desire to see her gone. He's more interested in selling the place before it crumbles into the Colorado landscape or bankrupts the trust that maintains it. Just when Rose is convinced she's made yet another terrible decision, she stumbles upon hidden secrets within Larkspur House's storied history—ones that could bridge the gap between her and Will, making Haven Ridge her forever home. But try as she might, Rose can't escape her past...and her own secrets just might destroy the new life she's begun building.

Dash, Dylan, Poppy, Marcus, and Azumi don’t know this at first. They each think they’ve been summoned to Shadow House for innocent reasons. But there’s nothing innocent about Shadow House. Something within its walls is wickedly wrong. Nothing—and nobody—can be trusted. Hallways move. Doors vanish. Ghosts appear. Children disappear. And the way out? That’s disappeared, too . . . Enter Shadow House . . . if you dare. “Shadow House has everything I love—strange characters, magic and the supernatural, endless danger and adventure—and a mystery I dare any reader to try to solve.” —R. L. Stine, author of the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series. “Poblocki’s meticulously crafted narrative is chilling . . . A thrill for any reader who knows the only thing more frightening than an unopened door is being locked behind one.” —Kirkus Reviews
