Restless Spirits
Teri on Goodreads
"Great book! It melds the ghostly paranormal with a love story without the "sap" typically found in love stories. It had intrigue, romance, ghosts, murder...this story had it all. Definitely a fun book to read."
Ozarks-based Speculative Fiction Author – Weaving Darkness into Light
Hi. I’m Jean Marie Bauhaus. Yes, like the band.
I’m the author of the cozy haunted house horror and mystery Spirits series and the vampire-zombie mashpup survival horror trilogy Dominion of the Damned. I’m currently spinning yarns over on my Substack, Through a Glass, Darkly. Check it out here.
If you like based, genre-blending stories that convey hope and a sense that there’s something beyond us, both good and evil, guiding and influencing human events — worlds where angels, faeries and ghosts are real and superstitions have their purpose — then you’ll like my fiction. Check out a few of my books and stories below, or click here to shop my full catalog.
Two sisters.
One is dead.
The other sees ghosts.
When paranormal investigator Ron Wilson dies in a haunted house with no memory of how it happened, she doesn’t move on—she digs in. With her sister Chris, a medium who can see and hear the dead, Ron takes on the cases no one else can solve.
Together, they confront restless spirits, buried crimes, and dark secrets that refuse to stay hidden. Some hauntings want peace. Others want justice. And a few want blood.
Blending cozy horror, paranormal mystery, and emotional depth, the Restless Spirits series is perfect for fans of Darcy Coates, T. Kingfisher, CBS’s Ghosts, and Odd Thomas.
The dead rose first.
Then the vampires took over.
In a world overrun by zombies, humanity thought extinction was the worst possible outcome. They were wrong. Vampires emerged from the ruins, seized control, and turned survival into servitude.
Now humans are hunted, enslaved, and bled dry—while the undead roam free.
The Dominion of the Damned trilogy is a brutal, emotional post-apocalyptic saga of survival, resistance, and forbidden love in a world where monsters rule and hope is rebellion.
Perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, I Am Legend, and The Passage.
Humanity has sought evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth since we first peered through a telescope. Space holds the answer to an enduring mystery of whether we are alone in the universe. We want to make first contact with extraterrestrial life.

Every night, Mary walks the narrow trail through the woods to lock up her chickens, steeling herself against spider webs and memories of the husband who left her with both. THis night, something is different. The spiders seem bolder. The webs are more persistent. As grief blurs together with anger and exhaustion, Mary begins to sense that whatever is building in the dark isn’t just a nuisance. It’s patient, it’s aware, and it’s growing closer with every step she takes toward home.

What Readers are Saying
Desolation
Mary on Goodreads
"Rarely do I give five stars, but when an Author truly makes it impossible for me to stop read even a 1:30 am. And make me mad the next book isn't out to keep me up til dawn's early light. It gets a five star. Great story. Highly recommended."
Terror at Lake Eucha
JPCWrites on Amazon
"Terror at Lake Eucha has all the dark and disturbing elements a good horror/suspense story should have. Fast-paced and entertaining - my only disappointment was that it didn't last much, much longer."
