The Dead Hour

Thomas Bruso

Summary

PI Bradshaw receives a late night call from a client desperate to find her missing daughter. The woman asks to meet him at a storage unit in upstate New York. The woman hangs up before Bradshaw can inquire further. Woken by the jarring news, Bradshaw decides to meet the frantic, mysterious woman pleading for his help.

Working as a private investigator has its drawbacks. Bradshaw often receives prank calls from clients with run-of-the-mill requests and chooses his cases wisely. But there is something unusual and unnerving about this particular call. The hopeless plea in the woman's voice and the anonymity of her demand ignite a maelstrom of questions.

While Bradshaw decides whether the call is worth pursuing, a young dead girl from the Other Side visits him, demanding attention and seeking help for the request he just received. Who is this spirit? What does she want? And how is she linked to the caller?

Quirky Slapstick humor
Silly, over-the-top secondary characters appearing in Kashel Char's New Beginnings series.
With fake names and lies, Juandre convinces the older man to try every position possible, then the two indulge in their wildest fantasies over the weekend.
How the hitchhiker vampire, Andrew, got snared by a cheeky wanna-be drag queen.
At twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be. When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams, and ask for what I wanted.

Ghost Whisperer

Holly Day

What's a werewolf to do when it turns out his mate is a ghost whisperer?
Franklin Cyng was perfectly happy with his life as a bar owner and being the alpha of the Ulledo werewolf pack. The minute Axar Dusan walks into his bar, Franklin knows he's his mate, but Axar is a psychic, and werewolves and psychics do not get along.
It's worse than that, though. Axar is talking to thin air, having a conversation with an imaginary friend. Franklin stays away. He can't mate someone who isn't all there. Not long after, a group of people ushers Axar out of the bar, and Franklin believes that's it. He'll never see his mate again.
But Axar keeps coming back to the bar, and every time he does, he talks to his imaginary friend. An invisible person who knows things about the bar Axar has no way of knowing. What's Franklin to do? The more time he spends with Axar, the more certain he is that he can't walk away. His mate might be batshit crazy, but better to have a mate talking to imaginary ghosts than not have a mate at all, right?
