Hi. I'm Kristin Fulton, author and founder of Broadway Pacific Press.
Our publishing house is in the process of adding new titles and new editions to our catalog of children's adventure stories, picture books, and historical fiction.
​
Our latest title is picture book Don't Blame Sam! Readers will resonate with the timely message about the importance of telling the truth. The theme is thought provoking and ultimately serious, yet Sam's escapades inspire chuckles along the way.
Earlier in 2025, The Haunting, our award-winning middle grade novel, was updated with a new cover and revisited manuscript. The Haunting is in line for production in 2026 as a multi-cast audiobook with a full soundscape. In the meantime, you can hear the author read The Haunting and Snake Food on Audible.
2026 will bring to print A Dangerously Close Encounter, the second book in the Hazelsmith Family Adventure Series. An advance review by The Wishing Shelf Awards says: "...if you happen to be on the hunt for a suspense-filled, sci-fi adventure populated with a fun cast of characters and plenty of twists and turns to keep a young reader enthralled, this is for you." I am looking forward to young readers and their reactions to the exciting adventure.

READING WITH YOUR KIDS Book Review: The Haunting by Kristin A. Fulton
July 2025
Kristin A. Fulton’s The Haunting is an engaging, heartwarming, and often hilarious chapter book that captures the imagination with its ghostly charm, lovable characters, and spirited storytelling. Written for middle-grade readers, the novel artfully blends mystery, adventure, and a touch of the supernatural into a story about courage, loyalty, and fighting for what’s right.
The story is told from the witty and observant point of view of Chance Jameson, a twelve-year-old orphan raised at Oak Hill Orphanage. Life at Oak Hill is idyllic under the loving guidance of Miss Elizabeth May—until her sudden death and the arrival of the sinister Whipley twins threaten to turn everything upside down. What follows is a delightfully plotted “ghost caper” in which Miss May returns as a ghost, and together with Chance, uncovers the greedy plans of the Whipleys who aim to exploit the orphanage and its children for their personal gain.
One of the most compelling aspects of the book is its voice. Chance’s narration is full of humor, heart, and clever turns of phrase that will resonate with readers of all ages. His quick wit, curiosity, and fierce loyalty make him an instantly likable protagonist, and his friendship with fellow orphan Sarah adds warmth and depth to the story. The book balances its humorous tone with real emotional stakes, especially in the wake of Miss May’s death, making it both heartfelt and adventurous.
The ghostly element is handled in a fun and accessible way. Miss May’s presence is more comforting than creepy, and her return as a ghost opens the door to secret passageways, hidden ledgers, and clandestine meetings that move the story forward at an energetic pace. Fulton has a gift for pacing—each chapter ends with a hook that urges readers to turn the page.
Molly Hart’s whimsical illustrations complement the tone beautifully. They are sure to enhance the reader’s visual connection to the characters and setting.
The villains, Ida and Stanford Whipley, are delightfully despicable in a Roald Dahl-esque fashion. Their over-the-top greed and cruelty make them satisfying foils to Chance and Miss May, and their sinister plans—such as reducing education to one hour a day and turning the children into cheap labor—are appropriately outrageous for a children’s book, inviting readers to cheer for their downfall.
Fulton also enriches the story with historical context, including references to the Underground Railroad and Prohibition-era secrets hidden within the mansion’s walls. These details add depth and a sense of timelessness to the orphanage, making it a character in its own right.
Behind the entertaining plot is a deeper message about justice, resilience, and the importance of standing up for others. Chance’s transformation from a curious kid to a courageous leader is inspiring, and his loyalty to Miss May and the other orphans drives the emotional core of the story.
Final Verdict:
The Haunting is a delightful, witty, and imaginative middle-grade adventure with a good dose of heart. Kristin A. Fulton’s storytelling shines with warmth and purpose, making this ghost story a comforting, empowering read that champions kindness, community, and courage. Highly recommended for readers ages 8–12—and anyone who believes in standing up for what’s right, ghost or not.
Sisters of the Soul
Kristin Fulton,
I just finished your wonderful book, Sisters of the Soul. At the end of your book reviews were requested. I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed your book. I don't have enough superlatives to express to you what I thought about Sisters of the Soul. I LOVED how you wrote about the long trajectory of their lives and even the "prequel" part of the story which set up the story and showed how everything developed as it did. I loved the two main "sister" characters, their relationship and later the daughter character Rose and her relationship with Sophie. Your writing is such that you make the reader feel as though they know these characters and when you know the characters they become real people. You love them, worry about them, are happy, scared, sad, etc., for them.
With the escape from the plantation and the trip across the country I loved what you had the characters do in order to protect themselves and continue their escape and journey. These ladies did what they had to do. They survived at a time when single ladies were only supposed to be with a man on his terms. They not only survived but did very well for themselves.
The ending and eventual reunification of mother and daughter was beautiful as was Sophie finding one of her sons and getting closure to what happened to the rest of her family. I did not want this book to end even though I knew there of course must be an end. Please write more books for I would love to read them.
