**Genre:** Horror
Sharon is an award-winning author, inexhaustible travel blogger, spirit investigator (liquid, not ethereal), cat wrangler, and former illustrator of children’s books, including Maya Monkey. Creative from birth, she never stops imagining magical worlds to unravel with words. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her walking the beach, observing the waves, listening to birds, or curling a stiff drink. She splits her time between Minneapolis and Naples with her husband and mischievous cat.
When retired farmer Oren Walton meets a mysterious woman in his old RV, he believes he’s
received a final mercy–a brief escape from loneliness, grief, and the slow theft of his body by
Parkinson’s disease.
But there’s a problem: his daughter, Sedona, thinks he hallucinated the whole affair. Oren
insists the woman is real; Sedona only sees the familiar signs of illness and delusion.
The girl in the RV is just the beginning. Sedona watches her father unravel as stories of strange
visitors and malevolent crows escalate into inexplicable farm machinery mishaps, dangerous
encounters with intruders, and a battle with a terrifying creature on the porch.
Through her late mother’s diaries, Sedona finds a brief respite from the harsh realities
entwining her peculiar new life on the farm. When the land itself begins to feel watchful,
Sedona wonders if something else is at work, something that took root long ago at the spot.
