    Postcards From Stella Maris -...

    For Fans of the Liz Talbot Mystery Series… Postcards From Stella Maris  is a collection of five short stories for fans of the series who might be interested, for example, in Colleen's backstory. I wrote the short story “Common Knowledge” for myself years ago, as a way to explore what happened to Colleen. As you might imagine, it's not as light as the series in general. This story has never been published anywhere before. “Eviction” is the story of how Liz first met Rhett, her golden retriever, back when she was married to Scott the Scoundrel. This story is also not lighthearted, and it likewise has never been published before. “Hogwash” originally appeared in Spinetingler Magazine. This is a fun little case which introduces the character of Zeke Lyerly, who appears in Lowcountry Bonfire. “Highlights and Hot Lead” originally appeared in The Petigru Review. This is a Stella Maris slice of life story featuring Shannelle Johnson, a local judge's wife, and it takes place entirely at Phoebe's Day Spa. “Everything is Relative” is a peek inside a Talbot family Thanksgiving. A few of Mamma's recipes are included at the end. If by chance you’ve stumbled on this collection of stories, but you’ve never read a Liz Talbot mystery, I would encourage you to start with   Lowcountry Boil (A Liz Talbot Mystery, Book 1)   and come back to these stories later. I so hope you enjoy these glimpses into Liz Talbot’s formative years, her unfortunate first marriage, and her life between major cases. Warmly, Susan M. Boyer

    Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You...

    Title: Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad 
    Author: M. R. James 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1904 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 60 
    Description: 
    Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad is among M. R. James’s most chilling and influential ghost stories — a masterpiece of creeping dread where the rational mind meets forces far beyond its understanding. 
    Professor Parkins, a staunch skeptic, takes a seaside holiday expecting rest and quiet. Instead, he unearths a mysterious bronze whistle at the remains of an ancient Templar site — an artifact inscribed with warnings that curiosity ignores at its peril. One careless blow of the whistle calls forth a presence woven from nightmares: a silent, predatory shape that haunts the spare bed and hunts the unbeliever who summoned it. 
    James conjures terror not through spectacle but through atmosphere — empty beaches, salt-stung winds, and a room where bedclothes stir with malevolent intent. This is horror born of scholarship, superstition, and the unseen prowling just beyond the candle’s reach. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance restores the full tension and terror of one of the greatest ghost stories ever written. While the text is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the legends of classic horror, Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad reminds us that some relics were buried for a reason — and some calls should never be answered. 🕯️

    Being acknowledged for what you do is always very welcome.   When it comes to Oscar’s, Emmy’s, Pulitzer’s and Nobel’s it’s also international news and for many, the pinnacle of their career. 
     
    The Nobel Prize is much lauded and very difficult to secure.  In this volume we list ten of its winners over the decades who were famed for their literature.  The prize is given with an emphasis on its contribution to literature and its influence in the world and for the individual, more usually, for the body of work created. 
     
    So, whilst none of the stories in this volume were winners in their own right, their authors most certainly were.  They perfectly illustrate both the nature and mastery of the writing and the power and the purpose set within its storied prose. 
     
    1 - The Nobel Prize - Ten Winners - An Introduction 
    2 - The Father by Bjornstjerne Bjornson 
    3 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling 
    4 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore 
    5 - An Arch Rascal by Knut Hamsun 
    6 - The Daughter of Lilith by Anatole France 
    7 - Dhoya by W B Yeats 
    8 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis 
    9 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 1 by John Galsworthy 
    10 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 2 by John Galsworthy 
    11 - Son by Ivan Bunin 
    12 - Sicilian Limes by Luigi Pirandello

    Unfamiliar Ports 
    Step on board for a journey. We’ll find ourselves dropping anchor in new harbours and we’ll see things we haven’t seen before. Destinations that are surprising, and ones that are often dangerous. Along the way, we’ll reconnect with a couple of travellers we might have met elsewhere, and we’ll cross paths with a lot of new faces; not all of whom will prove to be the most congenial company. 
    Nine short stories set in the past, the present and the future.
