T.M. Downing
Young Adult Author
Hi there! My name is T.M. Downing, author of THE DEAD OF CYPRESS CREEK. I've been writing down the stories that come into my head since I was little, but before I decided to pursue writing professionally, I was a school teacher. My love for stories and my background in education have given me a passion for creating stories that turn young readers into lifelong book lovers.
I live in Utah with my husband, two crazy toddlers, and a new baby. When not writing, reading, or parenting, I'm usually crocheting something while re-watching the Twilight movies.

The Dead of Cypress Creek
Now Available!
Most love stories end with the grave
This one begins there
Seventeen-year-old Vivian Ports has always felt more at home among the dead. For years, she’s tended to the graves of Cypress Creek Cemetery alongside her father, the groundskeeper. Among the quiet gravestones, the dead are predictable. Peaceful.
Until someone starts digging them up.
When a grave robber begins terrorizing the cemetery, Vivian fights to protect her home. Soon, she finds herself on a collision course with a two-hundred-year-old Union soldier who shouldn’t be alive--Jesse Britten, an attractive enigma in a Civil War uniform.
The two become unlikely allies as they strive to keep the grave robber at bay and discover the reason behind Jesse’s second chance at life.
Soon, a romance blooms that shakes the defenses Vivian has built since her mother’s death.
But Jesse’s not the only undead soldier stalking the cemetery...
A story for fans of Twilight who still ache for small-town settings, undead love interests, and romances that defy death.
