  Since the recent death of a wealthy, yet perverted, businessman, Charity Styles has been hiding in plain sight, as if challenging anyone to come after her. 
  She’s on her own once more, living day to day on her beloved Wind Dancer, anchored near a quaint little Gulf Coast town in the Florida Panhandle. But when the son of a fishing client ends up dead, the father’s employer hires Charity to find the person responsible. 
  Intrigue mounts faster than the list of suspects and Charity finds new purpose and direction, and possibly a guide. But will her new outlook make her fall prey to the local crime boss? Very few know of her abilities and many have come up short in trying to take her. Will this be Charity’s final downfall from grace?

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  "We are not fake anythings!" said Lance. 
  "I could debate that with you," said Blake. 
  "Where is the ghost?" Blake said changing the subject. 
  "Now I have a ghost and a grim reaper in my lounge room!" said Lance infuriated. 
  "Grand Reaper? What's that?" the ghost asked. 
  "Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
  "Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
  "Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said. 
  "You sure this isn't The Munsters!" Blake asked. 
  "I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
  "Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said. 
  "He is a ghost he shouldn't be watching soapies!" said Lance. 
  "Dork!” snapped Junior in protest.

  Room For One - From their pens...

  Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
  This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
  When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
  In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
  Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.
