Haven to Hold: A Light-Hearted Midlife Cozy Fantasy Where No One Has to Die Again

A Victorian inn with a history. A secret psychic medium. Her skeptical C-suite husband.One week to manage a stubborn spirit before the first guests arrive.

A secret psychic medium and her practical, mostly skeptical C-suite husband from Atlanta think they've bought a dream small-town B&B for retirement. Instead, they get a house with a history of fast-fleeing owners and a stubborn spirit that messes with the lights, doors, and creates odd disturbances.

Can Vivian manage the ghost before the first guest arrives next weekend, or will her husband get spooked by the house and ditch the dream too?

This is a midlife cozy fantasy novel that takes place in a small town. And it's not a mystery, so no one has to die, at least not again.

Related to Haven to Hold, which has an MC who's a psychic medium, Bernette based this fictional character (in a fictional story) off of herself, a psychic medium who (generally) no longer practices giving messages alone, but still does healing and clearing and other 'magical' things.
