Help doesn’t come free, and Erasmus wonders if he’ll be able to pay the price when the bill finally comes due.Detective Franklin O’Hare is a human hopelessly in love and helplessly out of his depth when it comes to keeping Erasmus alive. Erasmus’s need to locate and aid other necromancers is an emotional ticking time bomb. Add this newest quest to Erasmus’s penchant for digging up dead and buried secrets, and Franklin is left wondering how he can ensure Erasmus not only lives his best life but remains alive at all.Erasmus’s quest is derailed when a simple soul retrieval turns out to be anything but. Erasmus has retrieved numerous souls over the years, but he’s never had a case where the soul attached to the remains didn’t match the name written on their grave marker. Something stinks, and it’s not the burnt remains Erasmus is working with.Avarice is rarely satisfied and is the root of far too many evils to count. Erasmus and Franklin know that fact all too well. Avarice hides behind murder, but it can also shadow covetous intentions. While one form of avarice strives to end Erasmus’s life, another desires to enslave it.

Mentions of violence, murder, souls brought back from the beyond, speciest bigotry, and a few characters of questionable morals and sanity. Read more

The first rule of being a ghost whisperer: Don’t tell anyone.Seriously. Don’t.Sure, it might sound harmless. A fun party trick, even. I assure you, it’s not.How do I know? Well, let’s just say that I’ve had a lot of experience with this sort of thing, and nine times out of ten, it turns into an all-consuming disaster. Being plagued by needy ghosts twenty-four/seven is one thing; being harassed by a horde of curious—or worse, grieving—flesh-and-blood people is an entirely different circus. I mean really, who wants to hold an impromptu séance in the middle of the cereal aisle? Not me, and the manager of the grocery store probably isn’t too crazy about the idea, either.So, that’s it. If you’re a ghost whisperer, just keep your mouth shut and act normal. Ghosts? What ghosts?Now, if only I would start listening to my own advice…***The Ghost Hunter Next Door is the first book in the Beechwood Harbor Ghost Mysteries series. Perfect for fans of Angie Fox and Kristen Painter.*** Read more
