Book excerpt: Quietly, without drawing attention to themselves, a group of five men and two women, all with a special concern, met secretly to discuss the impact of the planned construction project at the local old abandoned hotel. They were friends and long-time local citizens, bound by a single incident, which they had successfully hidden from the rest of the world. Now, the planned construction rekindled old, deeply hidden emotions as well as a renewed terror into their very hearts and souls. It was fear, although never really forgotten, that had laid dormant for more than twenty-five years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Purple Door Detective Agency is hiring. Those without magic need not apply. Salary commensurate with experience. Apply at the agency. No phone calls or psychic links. Sunshine Merryweather is a young witch with a passion for colorful clothes and good food. She is the owner/operator of the Purple Door Detective Agency. Her partner, John, was brutally murdered three days ago, and she won't stop until she finds his killer. Aine is only interested in one thing when she walks into the building with the purple door-locating the last man alive in the branch of the O'Neill family she haunts as abeane sidhe. She has been asleep for 200 years in a ruined Irish castle and realizes that the world has moved on without her. She needs to find the O'Neill heir and encourage him to start a family or she will pass from existence when he dies. Sunshine sees a potential partner when she looks at the powerful beane sidhe - they could be the next Dynamic Duo! But Aine isn't interested in Sunshine's schemes - until the witch agrees to help her locate O'Neill. Even then, it will be a short-term association at best from Aine's point of view. She has no need of witchcraft. Neither woman is aware of the danger they face as an ancient assassin stalks the old port city of Norfolk, Virginia. It will take more than simple witchcraft or beane sidhe magic to stop the killer. They will have to work together and combine their talents. But can Sunshine and Aine put aside their differences to stop the murders without tearing each other apart? By National Bestselling mystery and urban fantasy authors Joyce and Jim Lavene (Retired Witches and Missing Pieces Mysteries)

Book excerpt: 'Jo, Dermot, Tom. God save us, this is a sorry sight.' The doctor sighed and glanced round the group, all trying to avoid eye contact with one another. McAteer turned and started down the slipway towards the wreck. 'I suppose we'd better see if the body's still in the boat,' Dermot wished he could turn back the clock. But the life force that had been Peter Foley was gone.'When Peter Foley's fishing boat sinks in the waters off the coast of Kerry, a lethal secret is revealed. Local superstition claims that when death is imminent the Banshee sings. Dismissing this as nonsense and with terrible danger facing Kenmare, Inspector Dermot O'Hara confronts unseen powers and his old nemesis, Assistant Commissioner Quinn. New romance is born but old skeletons and past sins emerge to torment Dermot. All the police officer's detective skills are called for to solve the mystery and save his town. So great are the dangers that even the love of his wife and the loyalty, wisdom and friendship of the regulars in Crowley's Bar, appear inadequate against the forces opposing them. A colourful cast, from American Frank McMahon, who could happily live on a diet of Irish stew and Black Bush whiskey, to the journalist known as 'the Beast', populate the pages of this thriller.

Book excerpt: A paranormal category romance novella from Entangled's Covet imprint... She's not immune to his charms... Paranormal detective Kiera "Mac" McLoughlin has a serial killer on her hands. Two women are dead-naked, and no obvious cause of death. Aidan Byrne, an investigator with the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency, confirms her suspicions. He's hot, enigmatic, and just so damned charming. Almost charming enough to distract Mac...until her female partner becomes the killer's next victim. Now Mac's off the case and sneaking behind her department's back to pursue the investigation with Aidan-and desperately trying to fight her attraction to him. Each lead is starting to form the same conclusion: incubi, who have been extinct for at least century. But Aidan has a few secrets he's hiding. And as Mac struggles to keep her libido in check, she wonders if she's falling for Aidan...or falling for a killer. Previously released on Entangled's Ever After imprint - January 2012

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American poet and novelist. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". Green is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Indeed, as journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits". She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. In addition to creating elderly spinster and young female sleuths, Green's innovative plot devices included dead bodies in libraries, newspaper clippings as "clews", the coroner's inquest, and expert witnesses.

Book excerpt: African American Tucker Rice is enjoying his retirement, and with good cause. A career as one of Memphis, Tennessee's first black FBI Agents is solidly and successfully behind him. His private investigator practice is growing. On the home front, he and his wife are thrilled with their new house outside Memphis, and their daughter has been accepted at prestigious Vanderbilt University. When, on a rainy Sunday morning, he receives a phone call from Sheriff Johnny Beaumont, an old fishing buddy in a primitive rural county north of Memphis, he can scarcely be expected to comprehend what he is stepping into."Ah got me three dead bodies, two blacks and one white. Cause of death: severe heart trauma. Looks like the last thing these ole boys saw literally scared them to death."When, with the help of his former partner, FBI Special Agent Chick Fuller, Tucker assists in the investigation, events soon take a bizarre turn. The trail leads Tucker and Chick far from the reassuring comforts of their contemporary lifestyles, into the feral and untamed bogs of western Tennessee along the Mississippi River--where old ways still prevail, dark stories and superstitions from the past are still whispered and believed, and where a fearsome old Negro tale about a malevolent spirit from the Civil War named Colonel Banshee still lives on.
