Ghosts and Gold Dust
(2025)(The first book in the Ghost Vein Mine Cozy Paranormal Mystery series)
A novel by Kelly Ethan
Welcome to Ghost Vein, Nevada. Where the mine runs deep and so do the lies. The gold's cursed, the ghosts are chatty, and murder never stays buried for long.
Down on her luck, Rue Maddox inherits a haunted saloon turned bookshop café in a cursed Wild West reenactment mining town. The last thing she expects is to find a dead body behind her building or to be accused of murder. Now Rue is suspect number one in a crime she didn't commit.
But Ghost Vein isn't your average tourist trap. The mine is haunted, the locals are obsessed with cowboy costumes, and Rue's late Great Aunt Ruth turned out to be the town's last curse-breaking witch.
With a dead tour guide, a too attractive grumpy sheriff, a town full of ghosts and secrets, Rue must solve the mystery before another body drops or she ends up six feet under with only ghosts and gold dust for company.
Small town life just got weirder. And Rue? She might be the only thing standing between Ghost Vein and something far worse than bad tourist reviews.
Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries, haunted Western towns, and amateur sleuths.
