Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Docking about midnight, Imagine Purple is glad to be back on dry land! Our young sleuth has endured two life-threatening events recently. Although no longer seasick, Ima has not slept for two days. Unable to think clearly, she makes a seemingly harmless decision to travel awhile with the vamp, Vanna Belforte. Vanna, always on the lookout for an easy mark, has arranged for them to ride in a white, unmarked box van owned by Claude, a young, handsome French Canadian. After a near accident and a grilling border interview, Ima suspects she has fallen in with bad company. In spite of Claude's thick accent, Ima learns all about his organic farm operation in Maine. As he grows sleepy, she tries to keep him awake by chattering about her adventures. Even so, he turns the wheel over to her and joins the now-sleeping beauty Vanna. This shocking responsibility becomes a huge challenge to Ima, considering she has not used a stick shift since her high school driving course. Upon hitting a blinding fog, she struggles to keep the top-heavy vehicle upright and on the correct highway. A near accident and an inquisitive border agent start new spirals of trouble for Ima. Arriving to a quaint New England town, Ima and Vanna agree to rent an overly-rustic cottage and a 1940s classic car. These pose more danger than fun and relaxation. Vanna visits Claude's farm and has a frightful experience with a lady living there. Ima realizes that fear has seized the ever-petulant Vanna who now grapples with real and imagined vengeful spirits. Ima begs Vanna to change her thinking as they use different ways to confront Mary Jane of Canton, Maine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ima Purple knew Vanna Belforte had a colorful, perhaps reckless past in Atlanta, Georgia. Their friendship had suffered continual ups and downs until Vanna came to New York to buy a trousseau. She invites Ima down for a gracious Deep South wedding. Upon arrival, Ima meets two families whose lives intertwine in a way unknown to her. The Belfortes have restored a lost fortune and rebuilt Chasenton, a dilapidated family estate. The Bees are the descendants of the estate's slaves who stayed on as servants to help. When the teacher-turned-detective digs deeper, she finds regional differences, racial struggles, and forbidden romances. Meanwhile, back in her own familiar surroundings, Vanna finds that Atlanta brings out her best and worst sides. Not enthused by her wedding festivities, she returns to her typical antics. Feeling ignored, Ima decides to entertain herself by asking the staff casual questions about life at the estate. What she hears drives her to investigate an old crime involving the cook's son. Ima pushes to find new clues before Vanna makes a big mistake and keeps a deadly vow. If the past crashes into the present, events could lead characters to repentance or retribution. Will Vanna choose romance or revenge in the Anti-Belle of Antebellum Atlanta?

Book excerpt: In a literary voice that is both original and powerfully unsettling, William Gay tells the story of Nathan Winer, a young and headstrong Tennessee carpenter who lost his father years ago to a human evil that is greater and closer at hand than any the boy can imagine - until he learns of it first-hand. Gay's remarkable debut novel, 'The Long Home', is also the story of Amber Rose, a beautiful young woman forced to live beneath that evil who recognizes even as a child that Nathan is her first and last chance at escape. And it is the story of William Tell Oliver, a solitary old man who watches the growing evil from the dark woods and adds to his own weathered guilt by failing to do anything about it. Set in rural Tennessee in the 1940s, 'The Long Home' will bring to mind once again the greatest Southern novelists and will haunt the reader with its sense of solitude , longing, and the deliverance that is always just out of reach.
