Books with author Rod Simpson

Working at a banana farm turned theme park isn’t how Annabelle imagined her time in Australia. Instead of rooftop parties in Melbourne with her best friend Lana it’s watching her bestie fall for a loser ex-pro skater and sweeping up at Lana's tattoo shop between shifts at The Big Banana. But that won’t distract her from her ultimate plan—to win back her first love, Simon, just next door in New Zealand.

Do you believe in ghosts? Travel with a young reporter, Jen Barnes, on her first big assignment to cover the glamorous, annual event known as Carnevale in Venice. Experience the magic of a gondola ride down the Grand Canal. Take in the majesty of the Romaneque architecture. Attend the most elaborate costume ball in the world and then as the clock on the tower in Piazza San Marco strikes eleven, watch, along with her as she witnesses a murder that no one else believes took place. Jen Barnes is traumatized by her experience in Venice. Returning to New York, she struggles to distinguish between reality and dreams and soon finds herself facing an even more daunting task. A rambunctious ghost in search of justice has followed her home. And, to her horror, begins to make his presence known.
