"Haunting Miss Trentwood is very well written with clever dialog and a rambunctious ghost. (Who wouldn't love that?) I spent an entire day reading it because I was unable to put it down, and I came away satisfied by the ending. It was a very enjoyable read. Humorous, but never over the top." - N.M. Martinez
"Haunting Miss Trentwood is, without doubt, one of the finest books I have had the pleasure of reading. Belinda Kroll writes with such fluidity in a style that is reminiscent of classic authors like Jane Austen. I was swept into the story from the very first page and I found it difficult to put down, often staying up late into the night to complete 'just a few more chapters'. I was not disappointed at any stage within the book, it flowed beautifully, making me feel that I didn't want it to end." - Suzy Turner

If you love Amanda Quick, Mary Jo Putney, Deanna Raybourn, and Victoria Holt, you will love HAUNTING MISS TRENTWOOD!
Mary Trentwood is horrified when she watches her father crawl from his grave the day of his funeral. Mistaking the newly-arrived Alexander Hartwell to be her father's solicitor, Mary welcomes him into her home, not realizing he hunts a blackmailer.
Why is Trentwood's ghost determined to make everyone think Mary is insane? Why is Hartwell snooping around Mary's home rather than looking over Trentwood's papers? Who is the blackmailer, and what are they doing in Mary's home?

I write historical fiction set in the Victorian era (1831 – 1901) because so much of that culture influences today. Simple adages like “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” came from the Victorians, as did the existence of today’s Anglophilic American woman. I am, of course, one of those women.
Where does the quirky come in? Well, this is me we’re talking about, and I’m kind of maybe more than a little quirky.
You will see influences of Amanda Quick, Deanna Raybourn, Jasper Fforde, Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson, Mary Jo Putney, Jane Austen, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and others in my writing. I read a bit of everything, which explains how I could jump sub-genres, from historical romance to historical thriller, to who knows what’s next.
