  If the world of supernatural creatures is just a bunch of hokum, why does Boston PD have their own paranormal division? 
   
  The Sisters of Salem are in disarray, their coven leader murdered and left to be found. The case has already been closed; the death attributed to the headless horseman’s reign of terror. But was he really to blame? 
   
  Sergeant Chloe Mayfield doesn’t think so, but her one cop mission to find the real killer clashes with her orders and she’s already on shaky ground with the higher-ups. All they need is one good reason and she’s out of a job. 
   
  Nevertheless, she feels responsible – Chloe should have spotted the clues and been able to prevent the coven leader’s death. Shouldn’t she? 
   
  Right or wrong, there is a sinister force at work in Boston’s seedy underbelly and Chloe is the only cop in town trying to prevent the next murder. 
   
  She’ll figure it out, be sure of that, but as she gets closer to the truth, will she discover it was always a trap?

  The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
   
  It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
   
  During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers.

  "A somewhat silly, somewhat sexy, and definitely bizarre short story that will keep your attention all the way through." 
  - Amara Rethwisch, Netgalley Reviewer 
  "Crazy short story but fun. It was nothing like I expected in any way." - Tavia Malone, Netgalley Reviewer 
  In 2021, Amber James developed an unhealthy fascination with Old Saint Nick. 
  Ever since, she’s chosen boyfriends based solely on their ability to satisfy her Santaphilia. Unfortunately, she can’t find a man worthy to come down her chimney. After multiple fails, she gives up the search for a Santa-with-benefits, and that night, she has an erotic dream featuring the jolly elf himself. 
  She awakens happily, but as the days turn into months, Amber realizes she’s pregnant. 
  The only problem is no one seems to agree. Her roommate Shelly doesn’t see the baby bump or feel the kicks, and the doctor’s pregnancy tests and ultrasounds all come back negative. The results force Amber to face her worst fears about her bio mother and a past she’s worked hard to escape. 
  Angry and scared, she’s bounced from medical doctors to psychiatrists and even an Ufologist trying to understand what’s happening to her body. As Christmas morning approaches, Amber will discover the horrifying truth of what Santa left for her. 
  Santa’s Package is a darkly bizarre Christmas story. 
  "Mendes knows how to weave a mystery" - Joseph Sale, author of Dark Hilarity 
  "Nikki Noir is a sultry new voice in erotic horror." - Kristopher Triana, Splatterpunk-Award winning author of Toxic Love 
  This 14K-word novelette was featured in Petite Mort. This digital edition is to accompany the audiobook narrated by Daisy Morgan.

  The Secret of the Growing Gold -...

  Bram Stoker

  Abraham Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on the 8th of November 1847, the third of seven children.  
   
  His early years were plagued with such ill-health that he was unable to start school until the age of seven.  He turned the long periods of recovery into an opportunity for thinking and said “I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years”.  
   
  Strikingly at Trinity College, Dublin his health had returned with such vigour that he was named their University Athlete whilst also achieving a BA in Mathematics with honours.  
   
  At this time his interest in theatre became a job offer to be the Dublin Evening Mail’s theatre critic, co-owned by Sheridan Le Fanu.  He now began to also write short stories and in 1872 ‘The Crystal Cup’ was published.  An interest in art developed and he co-founded the Dublin Sketching Club.  
   
  In 1878 came marriage to Florence Balcombe.  She had formerly been courted by Stoker’s acquaintance, Oscar Wilde.  The marriage produced one child.   
   
  Stoker had some years before reviewed Henry Irving’s Hamlet and had dined with him.  That friendship now resulted in a proposal from Irving to move to London and to manage his Lyceum Theatre.  His numerous commercial innovations ensured both he and the theatre thrived.  Irving would also often take Stoker with him when he toured abroad. 
   
  Despite this busy life Stoker continued to write and these works paved the way for his most famous creation, published in 1897, ‘Dracula’.  It is rightly recognised as one of the greatest horror novels of all time and although not the first with a theme of Vampires, it is undoubtedly the most well-known. 
   
  Stoker also wrote poetry and many excellent short stories and continued to write novels and other works throughout his career. 
   
  Politically Stoker supported Home Rule, though only by peaceful means.  He was also keen on following scientific trends particularly in medicine. 
   
  In 1902 his tenure at the Lyceum Theatre ended and although he continued to write his health was deteriorating, mainly due to a series of debilitating strokes. 
   
  Bram Stoker died on the 20th April 1912, in Pimlico, London.  He was 64.
