WHAT DO YOU CALL A BLONDE SKELETON IN THE CLOSET?

LAST YEAR’S HIDE-’N’-SEEK CHAMP

It’s autumn in the Heartland, when football rules and Homecoming royalty reigns — and full moons don’t just mean a passing high school varsity bus. But this year, Tressa Jayne Turner isn’t enjoying the frivolity of the season. Our intrepid 23-year-old reporter is trying to recover from ten days at the State Fair. After being stalked by a psycho dunk-tank clown, all she wants is a slower pace, some candy corn and toffee apples — and a serious story she can sniff out on her own.

She’s in luck! Eccentric and reclusive bestselling writer Elizabeth Courtney Howard is coming to little ol’ Grandville. So, what’s stopping Tressa from getting the dope — besides a blackmailing six-foot-two-inch high school homecoming queen candidate with all the charm of Frankenstein in taffeta, a rival reporter out to scoop the competition, and the sexy park ranger who’s kept Tressa’s knickers in a knot since the fourth grade? Only the fact that the skeletons to uncover are all in a closet in Haunted Holloway Hall — a house only Norman Bates could love.

It looks like a mother of a story.
