Regina Jennings's "Intrigue a la Mode" delights with a tale of a young woman determined to help support her family, despite warnings of danger nearby. And Jen Turano's "Grand Encounters" heads to the Grand Canyon with a tale of a society belle intent on finding a new life for herself.

  Idyllic, quaint, and straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting is St. Claire, Louisiana—at least on the outside. Beneath the veneer, it's anything but. That's the secret of St. Claire. 
   
   
   
  Born and raised in St. Claire, Lindsay Juneau's life was seemingly full raising a six-year-old daughter and caring for her widowed mother. Of course, things aren't always what they seem, and the newest resident of St. Claire isn't buying the ruse. 
   
   
   
  Veterinarian Nicole Allen is looking for something different. She finds it in St. Claire with its hypochondriac rabbits, shotgun-toting shut-ins, and eclectic mix of people. The most alluring, though, is a woman who's also looking for something different.

  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  Born in November 1847 in Dublin, Ireland, Abraham Stoker was the third of seven children. Bed ridden with health issues until aged 7 he made a complete recovery on being sent to school.  He was an excellent student excelling in maths and with a keen interest in Theatre.   
   
  He began his career as a theatre critic and after a favourable review was invited to meet the most important actor of the day, Henry Irving.  They became great friends.  After marriage to Florence Balcombe in 1878 they moved to London where he worked for Irving at his Lyceum theatre.  It was here he started to write and then to travel extensively with Irving as he toured. Many of his novels are set from the places he visited though he never did go to Eastern Europe.  He wrote many novels during his career but of course Dracula rises above all else.  
   
  In those last few moments drifting from wake to sleep we sometimes delve into thoughts of a very unpleasant kind. The hint of a shadow moving across the room can give rise to all sorts of troubling, unsettling ideas. Bram Stoker was a master of this effect. Who can forget the masterful creation of Dracula? Its realism built on diary entries, letters, newspapers clippings, ships log’s was very clever and contributes to its lasting and pervading impact. Here, his sinister tales saturate your soul and hit your heart with untold fears that, layer by layer, reveal their true unutterable horror.

  Trapped by privilege and bound by contract to marry a stranger, Helaine de Berzé feels like a caged bird in her own home. Haunted by secrets and surrounded by enemies in the guise of friendship, Helaine’s carefully controlled life shatters when betrayal strikes from within. Fleeing into the forbidden forest, she encounters the Wild Boy and the mythical unicorn he protects—beings of untamed magic who awaken her yearning for freedom and purpose. 
  But Helaine’s escape is short-lived. When her father falls gravely ill, Father Robert—the family priest whose true agenda is hidden even from himself—demands she summon the unicorn to save him, even if it means sacrificing the legendary creature. As her people are gripped by fear of the plague, they too demand the unicorn’s death. Helaine is torn between loyalty to her family, the dictates of her heart, and her growing realization of the power she holds. 
  With danger closing in from all sides, Helaine must decide whom to trust, how far she’ll go to protect those she loves, and whether she can ever return to the life she left behind.
