Sinopsis

Richard Quinn welcomes his readers with a warm portrait of southwest New York State's majestic landscape, which is home to Ben Bowden, his wife Angela, and their two children.The Bowden family is likable, imperfect, and relatable. Their story is a personal and poignant tale told through the eyes and narrative of young daughter Sydney whose storytelling allows readers confidante-level access to seemingly ordinary lives nestled deep within the woodlands of the Catskill Mountains watershed.When a single mother and her troubled son move in and upend their quiet community, the Bowden clan's outwardly idyllic existence slowly finds itself facing hurdles. Surfacing family dysfunction, mental instability, bullying, harassment, sexual assault, and a traumatic death all threaten the preservation of life and family security as they know it.Their efforts to regain a sense of normalcy sheds light on both their resourcefulness and limited life experience in this coming of age tour de force.

    Welcome to the haunted town of Justice where there is seemingly no justice for its citizens from the hands of a paranormal terror......as a ghostly woman in a flowing dress kills again and again, hitchhiking in cars and killing teenage lovers. 
    The city of Justice has had enough and they hire a paranormal investigator named Kostas Chrysikos with a unique Graflex camera to track this ghost down and put an end to her, for the cursed Graflex camera is able to imprison its ghostly victims within its celluloid photographs. But Mr. Chrysikos will find that nabbing the deadly ghost will be as difficult as cuffing an apparition in shackles. 
    And at a jazz club, a man named Johannas Pascal dances with an elegant, breathtaking young woman to his utter delight. She is the woman of his dreams and he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her. Pascal’s only problem is that he can't track her down again. Armed with paranormal tools and modern technology to assist in his search, he stakes her out. 
    Unbeknownst to each, Pascal's and Chrysikos' paths are set to collide in a riveting conflict as they search for their quarries. Who is Pascal's mystery woman and will he re-unite with her? Will Chrysikos' hunt succeed to banish the ghost forever to a phantom hell within one of his camera's celluloid prisons? Not if Pascal has anything to say about it. 
    And so, in this paranormal thriller and romance, a two-fold cataclysmic hunt begins for the woman named Ambrosia and the ghost called Resurrection Mary.

    When is a curse not a curse? How does a house become a prison? Why is a reformed murderer the only hope for a far-too-easily injured boy? 
     
     
     
    Athelas has always been opposed to having a small, possibly-cursed Australian boy in the kitchen. When that small boy disappears, however, and Athelas's housekeeper Camellia strongly encourages him to do something about it, he finds himself wavering. 
     
     
     
    YeoWoo wants nothing to do with the disappearing Harrow, cursed or otherwise. Caught up with her own investigation and preparations for revenge, she would prefer her housemates to remain unseen and unheard. Entirely absent is even better. 
     
     
     
    But Athelas and YeoWoo have something in common: they both tread warily when it comes to their housekeeper, who runs the house with a tea-scented, magic-laced rod of iron. Camellia holds the key to Athelas's pretensions of reformation being accepted—and blames him for Harrow's disappearance. And she is determined to save Harrow, no matter what it takes. 
     
     
     
    Life as a reformed murderer would be so much easier if the process didn't include so much . . . reformation.

    Breckinridge Elkins is the roughest, toughest, fastest-shootin', hardest-fightin' feller in the Bear Creek settlement, and probably in the entire Humbolt Mountains. As he travels further from home, he single-handedly takes on outlaws, settles (and starts) feuds and tries his hand at romancing the girls. He also discovers a lot of strange customs among other folks, such as building houses out of boards and wearing clothes that ain't buckskins. Set in Nevada during the late 1800's, this collection of stories is a great rollicking romp through the American frontier as seen through the eyes of one of the most enjoyable characters created in the history of tall tales. (Summary by RK Wilcox)
