Pam Keaton - Artist and Author

 

Pam's first novel, Malina and the Lost Art is now available on Amazon.com and other internet bookstores or by emailing the author at mail@pamkeaton.com

 

Almost every town has a creepy old house that causes people to whisper. For Malina Mason, the problem is...her parents are making her live in it. While her parents spend all of their time and money remodeling the town's largest historical home, Malina feels condemned to poverty and boredom. She knows that this latest house is different from any they have lived in before; but what Malina doesn't know is that this house holds a secret...and possibly...a treasure. It is a secret that only Malina can discover and a mystery that only she can solve. But will the truth end her family's problems or make things much...much...worse?  One thing is certain, Malina is about to stop feeling bored.
