Offbeat Ghost Befriends Lonely Teen in Quest to Solve Decades Old Mystery

DENVER - July 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Tracy Lane’s debut novel PARANORMAL PROPERTIES (Pants on Fire Press Paperback; On Sale: March, 2013) begins when a teenage boy, the fictional protagonist named Jake, moves to a new town with his family and befriends a ghost. The ghost, an infamous jazz club singer named Frank, recruits the teen to help him investigate the cause of his untimely death 50 years prior. Jake is wary but agrees to strike a deal with the ghost: he will help Frank solve the murder if Frank will appear on Jake’s parents’ ghost-hunting TV show, Paranormal Properties. Can the two find the culprit who attacked Frank so the ghost can be at peace?

In Jake and Frank, Tracy Lane has created an unexpected, yet charming friendship that seamlessly overlaps the paranormal and normal worlds. The duo offers amusement as the two adapt to each other and their respective worlds. They encounter dead-ends, twists and turns, yet remain steadfast to each other and to overturning answers.

Praise for

PARANORMAL PROPERTIES

“Paranormal Properties is a great, family-friendly Young Adult novel about a boy who can talk to ghosts. Equal parts Scooby-Doo, CSI and the Hardy Boys, you will enjoy getting to know Jake, Frank and Tank as much as I did. Now, if only ‘Paranormal Properties’ was a real show I could watch on TV every week…”

- Rusty Fischer, award-winning author of Zombies Don’t Cry

“Paranormal Properties is an excellent adventure for young adults.  Jake can talk to ghosts, and granted that is a little scary, but it is pretty cool for Jake. This story has it all: action, suspense, thrills and chills, and lots of drama! This is definitely an adventure you don’t want to miss out on!”

- TeenBlurb.org

“Better than Scooby-Doo! A sure to be popular book in middle school classrooms everywhere! Students will be asking to read this for AR! It is a super story that keeps you turning the pages!

- Whitney Lawrence Grady, author of I Am Currency
