Welcome to Litsy!

A haunted school. Murder. A Nationwide scandal. Taryn has her work cut out for her... Seven people are dead. Muddy Creek's most famous resident is the suspect. How did Taryn find herself right in the middle of a mystery that's shocking the nation as it unfolds? Historic Muddy Creek Elementary School has been abandoned for nearly twenty years. When it's partially destroyed by an arsonist, Taryn is hired to recreate the old school through her paintings, in hopes that it will be rebuilt as an Appalachian Heritage Center. Popular children's author, and town recluse, Lucy Dawson has lived in Muddy Creek all her life. Agoraphobic and always a bit odd, most townspeople haven't seen her in years. So when she's accused of murdering seven people in a ghastly incident, the small, West Virginia town is shaken to its core. But Taryn thinks there's more to the story. There's something rotten about the old school that everyone seems to love. More than simply haunted, it's tainted. The cries she hears down the decrepit hallways haunt her and the stench of decay is from more than just age. Taryn's convinced Muddy Creek Elementary is hiding some terrible, awful secret. And that Lucy Dawson knows more than she's telling. With the help of Miss Dixie, the camera that can see the past, and the county's now infamous criminal, Taryn aims to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late for all of them. Taryn, and her beloved camera Miss Dixie, are about to find out! Love Liza Jane AND Taryn? A BROOM OF ONE'S OWN, a crossover mystery special, is available now! Book 7 in the Taryn's Camera paranormal mysteryseries. Taryn's Camera follows Taryn Magill, an artist who recreates historical, and often run down, buildings through her paintings.
