  A medieval knight turned private investigator is joined by Geoffrey Chaucer in his latest case featuring "clever twists and convincing period detail" (Publishers Weekly). 
   
   
   
  Private investigator and former knight Crispin Guest faces his most complicated case yet when he witnesses a body fall from London bridge into the frigid River Thames. Though the man's death is declared a suicide, Guest sees evidence of foul play. His investigation leads him to Sir Thomas Saunfayl, an old acquaintance from his knighthood days. It seems the dead man was bargaining with Sir Thomas for the Spear of Longinus, the weapon used to pierce the side of Christ on the Cross, which grants invincibility to its owner. 
   
   
   
  After his friend Geoffrey Chaucer arrives in London, all too eager to help find the spear, Guest finds himself trying to solve a conundrum of many parts, all centered around the same dangerous and coveted relic. With evocative period detail and an unforgettable cast of characters, Blood Lance was a Kirkus Reviews "Top 10 Hot Crime Novels" of Fall 2012.

  Amanda Clarke thinks of herself as perfectly ordinary in every way. Just a small-town girl who serves breakfast all day in a little diner nestled next to the highway, nothing but dairy farms for miles around. She fits in there. 
  But then an old woman she never met dies, and Amanda was named in her will. Now Amanda packs a bag and heads to the big city, to Miss Zenobia Weekes’ Charm School for Exceptional Young Ladies. And it’s not in just any neighborhood. No, she finds herself on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, a street lined with gorgeous old houses, the former homes of lumber barons, railroad millionaires, even the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Why, Amanda can practically hear the jazz music still playing across the decades. 
  Scratch that. The music really, literally, still plays in the backyard of the charm school. Because the house stretches across time itself. Without a witch to protect this tear in the fabric of the world, anything can spill over. Like music. 
  Or like murder. 
  “Charm School”, Book 1 in the Witches Three Cozy Mystery series. This mélange of magic and murder mystery is sure to charm you.

  Sixty-eight million pounds and DEAD! 
   
   
   
  Someone had once told Detective Inspector Keith Tremayne that some people were lucky and some weren't. Tremayne knew only one thing: the man lying dead in a pool of blood had qualified on the lucky after winning sixty-eight million pounds on a lottery ticket, but now his luck had run out. 
   
   
   
  Tremayne knew the victim, Alan Winters; even knew his family. The man with all his new wealth had not hidden behind closed doors, fending off the scrounging relatives, the newly-found friends. That wasn't Winters's style. He had been out and about, driving expensive cars, living well. 
   
   
   
  And now he was dead. Tremayne knew the questions would start to roll. And why was he lying on the Altar Stone at Stonehenge, naked, with his throat cut? Clare Yarwood, his sergeant, had seen the body as well, turned away initially at the sight of it, but had taken a deep breath and stood alongside Tremayne. 'Nasty one, guv,' she said.

  On Ghosts

  Mary Shelley

  "We all believe in ghosts, even if we say we don't."
  
  In this atmospheric and intellectually sharp essay, Mary Shelley explores the universal human fascination with the spectral world. Rather than a simple collection of scares, "On Ghosts" examines the psychological "vibration" we feel when we hear a tale of the uncanny. Shelley recounts eerie anecdotes from her own travels and social circles, questioning whether ghosts are external entities or reflections of our own inner anxieties. With her characteristic blend of haunting imagery and rational inquiry, she invites readers to consider why we seek out the very things that terrify us most.
  
  The Psychology of Fear: Shelley argues that the belief in ghosts is rooted in our deepest emotions—specifically our inability to let go of the dead. She explores the idea that the "ghosts" we see are often the products of a heightened imagination or a guilty conscience, making the supernatural a deeply personal experience.
  
  A Bridge Between Science and Spirit: Writing during a time when science was beginning to challenge ancient superstitions, Shelley positions herself as a skeptical yet open observer. She doesn't just ask if ghosts exist, but why the human soul seems to require them to make sense of the world's mysteries.
  
  A Must-Read for Horror Fans: For anyone who has ever felt a shiver down their spine in an empty room, this essay provides a profound "why." It is an essential companion piece to Frankenstein, revealing the theoretical foundations of Shelley's fictional nightmares.
  
  Peer into the veil between worlds. Purchase "On Ghosts" today.
