  Ellen should have known that a gathering in America's last castle would entail a few uninvited guests. During a Christmas eve wedding at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Ellen and her friends are visited by multiple ghosts. The spirits have come to tell their stories, to right the wrongs that history has done to their memories. Each of them died in Asheville with their voices stifled. One spirit is particularly adamant and threatening, despite her small size, and her mood fluctuates like the mountain winds surrounding the great estate. She claims to be the ghost of Zelda Fitzgerald, and she wants her story told, even if she has to kill to make it happen. Voted Best Mystery Book of the Year for 2022 at Utopia Con! The books in this series can be read in any order.

  For fans of Stephen King's The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water. 
    
  Don't let the water drag you down … 
    
  It's been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly "living water" that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity.  
    
  Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy. 
    
  Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything. 
    
  A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

  Lena Wrace - Duplicity and...

  May Sinclair

  Mary Amelia St. Clair was born on the 24th August 1863 in Rock Ferry, Cheshire.  
   
  Her father was a Liverpool shipowner who, after being made bankrupt, became an alcoholic and died whilst May was still a child.  The family then moved to Ilford, just outside London and, after a solitary year of education, May was required to stay home and help look after her older brothers, four of whom were suffering from fatal congenital heart disease. 
   
  Despite this difficult start May was determined to pursue a literary career. From 1896 May wrote professionally to support herself and her mother.  By the turn of the century she was producing not only poetry volumes but short stories, novels and some non-fiction.  She was an active feminist and supporter of the Suffrage Movement, her literary talents help to shred ideas that the suffragists were driven by sexual frustration because of the shortage of men.  
   
  Her 1913 novel ‘The Combined Maze’, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by many, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time. 
   
  In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps on the Western Front in Flanders.  Although her time there was short-lived the experience was later reflected in both prose and poetry. 
   
  She published several poetry volumes as well as writing early criticism on Imagism and several poets of the movement.  Her novels were now also influenced by modernist techniques and her supernatural short stories are increasingly seen as valuable additions to the genre.  
   
  From the late 1920s, she suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and her writing career was effectively over. 
   
  May Sinclair died on the 14th November 1946.  She was 83 and buried at St John-at-Hampstead's churchyard, London.

  Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual. When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones. As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.
