Hurrah and huzzah! I was so delighted to discover yesterday that my latest paranormal fiction is now available in both print and ebook, which means those who prefer the feel of paper between their fingertips can now flip and dog-ear pages to their heart's content. Just mind the paper cuts, darlings.
This also means I'll have books to SIGN, so I hope to schedule signing events in both London and Chicago later this year. Please stand by for those details...
In the meantime, you can find What the Clocks Knowin both paperback and Kindle formats here:
Yessiree, through this weekend only, What the Clocks Know is on sale for only $0.99 / £0.99! Here's what reviewers have to say so far:
"A unique tale of the paranormal―as beautiful as it is haunting."―Shani Struthers, author of Jessamine and the Psychic Surveys series (★★★★★)
"It's not unusual to find a ghost story couched in the broader tale of a lifestyle change; but what brings What the Clocks Know to real spooky life is its ability to timeslip the protagonist between Victorian and modern London to enter different worlds that each serve as a microcosm of love, hate, and everything in between. . . . [A] powerful novel packed with eye-opening imagery and tales of spirits dead, alive, and evolving. . . . The entire production is a gripping read, highly recommended for ghost story enthusiasts, timeslip novel readers, and anyone who likes romance and powerful protagonists facing unexpected circumstances."―D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review (★★★★★)
"Rumer Haven presents a twisted paranormal story in her latest novel. . . . A unique approach to Haven's writing style is her use of red herrings. Taking advantage of her principal character's vulnerability, Haven keeps her audience often confused as they are trying to figure out if Margot is suffering from a mental condition, is really experiencing the paranormal, or both. By using this literary tool, Haven is able to not only produce a consistent narrative flow, but also provide a flurry of unexpected character scenes up to and including the story's close. What the Clocks Know offers paranormal enthusiasts a refreshingly gripping yet keenly deceptive read."―Red City Review (★★★★★)
"Traveling between Victorian and 21st century London, this is a thoughtful and well plotted suspense/ghost story"―Rosemary S, Librarian, NetGalley(★★★★)

Hello, hello, my darlings! I have released my second novel and lived to tell about it!
In fact, I've been yacking about it all over the place, thanks to the gracious authors who've hosted me at their blogs. Today, I'd like to give them all a shout-out for sharing assorted tidbits aboutWhat the Clocks Knowand yours truly:
For even one of these authors to acknowledge me is an honor, let alone this delightful dozen! Thanks are also in order for the multitude of authors and book bloggers who shared the release news, including:
Thank you, BOOK PARTNERS IN CRIME PROMOTIONSfor rallying the vast majority of those bloggers on my behalf! You were tremendous to work with for this launch.
And, finally, cheers to the authors who co-hosted and/or offered giveaways for one marathon of an online launch party! I lasted about 15 hours to accommodate time zones on either side of the pond and could've never done it without you:
Summary:
Twenty-six-year-old Margot sets out on a journey of self-discovery – she dumps her New York boyfriend, quits her Chicago job, and crashes at her friend’s flat in London.
Rather than find herself, though, she only feels more lost. An unsettling energy affects her from the moment she enters the old Victorian residence, and she spirals into depression. Frightened and questioning her perceptions, she gradually suspects her dark emotions belong to Charlotte instead.
Who is Charlotte? The name on a local gravestone could relate to Margot’s dreams and the grey woman weeping at the window.
Finding a ghost isn't what she had in mind when she went ‘soul searching’, but somehow Margot's future may depend on Charlotte's past.
Woven between 21st century and Victorian London, What the Clocks Know is a haunting story of love and identity.
Rumer Haven is probably the most social recluse you could ever meet. When she’s not babbling her fool head off among friends and family, she’s pacified with a good story that she’s reading, writing, or revising—or binge-watching something on Netflix. A former teacher hailing from Chicago, she presently lives in London with her husband and probably a ghost or two. Rumer has always had a penchant for the past and paranormal, which inspires her writing to explore dimensions of time, love, and the soul. She debuted in 2014 with Seven for a Secret (in which a Jazz Age tragedy haunts a modern woman’s love life), and her award-winning short story “Four Somethings & a Sixpence” (about a bride who gets a little something she didn’t register for) was released in 2015. What the Clocks Know is her second novel.
