REVIEWER COMMENTS
"Ghosts, a creepy island, death, spookiness, and more…this first book in The Seam Series is chock-full of paranormal goodness."
"The Shattered Seam is the perfect start to a ghost hunting paranormal series that I’ve been looking for since Kami Garcia’s The Legion series...the setting, the creepy castle of a convicted serial killer, was perfect"
"Shattered Seam was a fun read. Cool characters, creepy setting and situations, and a nice mystery to go along with it all makes it a good read for anyone who’s a fan of haunted houses or who’s into paranormal investigation shows"
"...this book has managed to pull me in, made me so interested that I read it all in one sitting. It hooked me, and became like a guessing game to me, making me so curious that I couldn’t wait to get to the end to see if I was right. I love how Kathleen described some scenes—the description of some gruesome scenes was graphic, which efficiently freaked me out"
"This book made me laugh, made me scared, and made me sad. I think fans of The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater might enjoy this book too."
"The Shattered Seam filled a nice little hole in my reader heart that I had been missing, and I quickly devoured this book. I am looking forward to many more paranormal adventures with Sam in the future, and possibly Kyle (pretty please). If you want a book with thrills, chills, and an author that isn’t afraid of a body count, pick this up and enjoy."
"An isolated island: check, a creepy old house: check, a serial killer: check, they all add up to a chilling read and one that I still think of, days after reading. In all, a creepy, entertaining and addictive read."
"The plot was fast paced and incredibly intense! I was reading it and was gasping and on the edge of my seat throughout. It was well written and developed, and totally gripping."
"This is the perfect Halloween read to keep the lights on for".
"This was incredibly creepy!!! Perfect time of year to read it though...I want to see this as a film"
"Sam is not the only interesting character though and she’s joined by many others who are just as fun and interesting to read about. It’s a solid read that has some great takes on haunted houses. If you’re a fan of haunted houses and non-believers discovering their own paranormal abilities, then this book is a solid bet!"
Super interesting, creepy and even fun! This is a fantastic book..."

THE SHATTERED SEAM
A Seam Stalkers Novel Book One
Genre: YA Horror with paranormal elements
Spending spring break on an isolated island rumored to be haunted is not sixteen-year-old Sam’s idea of fun. Spending spring break with her uncle and his ghost-hunting film crew on an isolated island is even worse.
Way worse.
Her family’s secrets—and a genetic ability she can no longer deny—surface, along with the ghost of a rich serial killer who left behind a trail of trapped souls.
And he’s not through yet.
With only one chance for escape, Sam must embrace her family’s curse and close the Seam between the living and the dead. Or be lost, forever.

Thousand Islands, New York
Setting for the award winning book The Shattered Seam
The castle I use in the book, Defiance Castle on Shadow Island, was created from my imagination, but a couple of castles in the Thousand Islands provided inspiration. I have added some pictures and links below to the wonderful world of the Thousand Islands.
