“If you want to know how to vanquish a vampire, (How to Bury the Undead) is the read for you. The author has been meticulous regarding details of places such as the cemetery and surrounding environs. You feel as if you are there looking around for ghosts, spirits, vampires and anything else that might make you uneasy. And yes there are humans to be reckoned with. However, this is not the whole story. There are other themes woven throughout the book which are not immediately obvious. Pay close attention, reader. There are many things to be discovered here.”

“Magical elements add to the depth of powerful characters, and JJ Brown creates a paranormal world where ghosts and vampires are believable residents in Sleepy Eye Cove, California. A strong, female, first-person narrator guides the reader back and forth in time as revealing details shape the story. Action-packed suspense and mystery kept me reading into the night!”

“(How To Bury the Undead) is a delightfully dark tale woven together around Cadence Galloway, who works as a caretaker of the Sandover Cemetery near Sleep Eye Cove, California while trying to unravel a clerical error surrounding her birth. With her ability to cast spells and talk to ghosts, Cadence finds herself drawn into the mystery of what – or who – destroyed the pulpit in a nearby church. The mystery of the vandalized pulpit becomes interwoven with that of a forgotten house and all of it is woven into the mystery of Cadence’s identity. It all comes together in a book full of fantastic characters, prose that is warm, accessible and hard to put down.“

“This is a wonderful book full of surprises and suspense…..After about 10 pages it became difficult  to put this novel down….There is action and suspense and even an amazing surprise ending that was totally unexpected.“
David Stewart, Citizens Journal Ventura County

“It is extremely well written with an amazing richness of characters and activities as Marty Brye tries to come to terms with her family, her town and the various strands of the goings on surrounding the building of the new housing development. The description of the town is wonderful and although this book packs a lot in under 300 pages, it is impossible to stop reading it.”

“Secrets and Howls is a fast paced book that is hard to put down. The plot is an intricate combination of the past (told through journals) and 1978 Northern California.”
