It’s time to share the official back cover summary for The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts:
She tried to ignore them. But some things won’t be ignored.
Kat Preston doesn’t believe in ghosts. Not because she’s never seen one, but because she saw one too many. Refusing to believe is the only way to protect herself from the ghost that tried to steal her life. Kat’s disbelief keeps her safe until her junior year at McTernan Academy, when a research project for an eccentric teacher takes her to a tiny, private island off the coast of Connecticut.
The site of a grisly mystery, the Isle of Acacia is no place for a girl who ignores ghosts, but the ghosts leave Kat little choice. Accompanied by her research partner, Evan Kingsley, she investigates the disappearance of Cassie Mallory and Sebastian Radcliffe on their wedding night in 1886. Evan’s scientific approach to everything leaves Kat on her own to confront a host of unbelievables: ancestral curses, powerful spells, and her strange connection to the ghosts that haunt Castle Creighton.
But that’s all before Kat’s yanked through a magic portal and Evan follows her. When the two of them awaken 129 years in the past with their souls trapped inside the bodies of two wedding guests, everything changes. Together, Kat and Evan race to stop the wedding-night murders and find a way back to their own time—and their own bodies—before their souls slip away forever.

WOW. This sounds like an amazing read.
Aw thank you so much! It was really fun to research and write it too!
Sounds like a wonderful book. Can’t wait to see the cover for the first time. What fun.
Thanks Ally! I am in love with the cover–I can’t wait to share it! 🙂
The excitement is building! 🙂
I hope so! I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks. 🙂
Very exciting!
Thanks Lori! 🙂
Sounds really good! Great premise and great setting.
By the way, I just saw your sidebar of the authors you enjoy reading. Thanks so much for including me. What a nice surprise. 🙂
You are indeed! After I review an author that I especially enjoy, I add them there. 🙂
Thanks! It’s set in my home state, inspired by my favorite gothic elements. 🙂 It was a really fun story to write too. Probably why I stuck with it for so long. 😉
Great book blurb, Kourtney! I can’t wait to see the cover. Congratulations! I hope your grandmother is doing well. 🙂
Thanks Jill! I can’t wait to hear what you think of it. 🙂 She is doing pretty good. Her son has had some terrible health issues for 8 months and that’s been very hard on her. She’s still cantankerous just more worn around the edges.
So looking forward to this! 🙂
Aw thanks JM! 🙂
Looking forward to that ARC! I think my girls will really like this story. I copied the Goodreads link and added it to my post.
Thanks. I really hope they do. Yay, thank you so much! Your support means the world to me!
How exciting! Can’t wait to see it.
Thanks. I can’t wait to share it! The cover designer really captured the mood and the tone of the book so well!
That’s a great idea to combine time traveling with ghosts. I love both so I’m really looking forward to this – congratulations!
It’s funny the story started out as a time travel murder mystery and then the ghost thread got woven in and now I can’t imagine it without the ghosts too. 🙂 That’s so awesome to hear! Thanks. This was the story concept the 11 year old me dreamed up with my best friend. Took a while but the adult me finally got around to writing it.
This sent shivers up my spine! I love ghost stories, and I can’t wait to read this one!
That’s awesome to hear. My editor and I spent so much time working on it. I never thought a few paragraphs would be so hard to get right! 🙂 Yay, thank you!
This sounds like a great read – wonderful story and an atmospheric setting, can’t wait to read it Kourtney.
Thanks Andrea! The story has been inside me since I was a kid. 🙂 It’s amazing to finally see it on the page and polished!
I wish I had books to read like this in my teens.. 🙂 Brilliant story line x
Thanks so much Sue. It was a story the 11 year old me dreamed up with my best friend. It took decades for me to write it. But it’s the story that little girl wanted. 🙂
And are not they the best stories ever! 🙂 May the 11 year old in you never disappear 🙂
I think so. Kids have the best imaginations. She’s still in here. 🙂 We had a blast writing this story!
