Black Opal (Peri Jean Mace Paranormal Mysteries) (Volume 2)
Catie Rhodes grew up in the piney woods of East Texas. It was a dark and shadowy world, rife with folklore and spooky tales, some of which had pretty grim endings. There wasn't much to do underneath those tall, tall trees other than daydream and make up stories.  Naturally, Catie became a purveyor of lies and legends. Drawing on her East Texas roots, her love of true crime, and her love of the paranormal, she began writing the Peri Jean Mace Paranormal Mysteries. She writes horror shorts on those dark days and moonless nights when the shadows beckon.  Catie is also that kid your mother warned you about. She lies. She cusses. She never washes her hands after petting the dog. And she still wears checkered Vans. She lives with her husband and little dog in the overcrowded and overly noisy Houston, Texas suburbs.
