Dora Borealis - A Novel

Daccia Bloomfield

Sinossi

A great love comes with bells… 
Flip is an unemployed writer with a heart of gold and limited social skills — he’s also very much in love. And you? You’re invited to witness the carnage… . 
It’s a story we’re all familiar with: just as the right girl finally comes along, Flip’s leg is broken, his roommate has gone nuts, and his father’s threatening to cut him off by cancelling his credit cards… . And then there’s that other small matter — he's still in love with Belle, the ghost he met when he was eight. 
Thank God he’s well taken care of — how does anyone manage this kind of thing alone?  
Daccia Bloomfield’s Dora Borealis is a not-quite-coming-of-age novel and a good old-fashioned love letter written in the era of the open relationship. Set against the backdrop of Toronto's insular art scene (itself haunted by the ghost of meaning), this story about connection (in a town hooked on missed connections) explores what it means to be truly haunted.

J.T. Ellison

Five friends head on a weekend mountain getaway. Only four will return. 
A group of writers from Nashville pile into a car and head to the mountains of north Georgia for a work retreat—and a bit of drinking and gossip. They’ve booked a cabin in the woods with no internet and no cell service, and hopefully, no interruptions. 
Near the cabin the friends discover the beautiful but decrepit Catwood manor, abandoned decades earlier. Detritus from its final lavish dinner party remains on the tables. Writer brains spin with a thousand questions, but two stand out: Why did the Catwood family abandon their mansion during a posh affair? And why did they never return? 
A dark cave near the house may hold the answer. But learning the secret to the family’s disappearance will be deadly.
