Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residents of Water Street are hardworking, God-fearing people who live in a seemingly safe and insulated neighborhood within a small Kentucky town: "Water Street is a place where mothers can turn their backs to flip a pancake or cornmeal hoecake on the stove and know our children are safe." But all is not as it seems as the secret lives of neighbors and friends are revealed in interconnected tales of love, loss, truth, and tragedy. In this critically acclaimed short story collection, Crystal Wilkinson peels back the intricate layers that form the fabric of this community and its inhabitants -- revealing emotionally raw, multifaceted tales of race, class, gender, mental illness, and interpersonal relationships. The thirteen succinct stories offer fragmented glimpses of an overarching narrative that emerges, lyrical and fierce. Featuring a new foreword and a new afterword which illuminate Wilkinson's artistic achievement, this captivating work is poised to delight a new generation of readers.

A vengeful phantom captain has been wreaking havoc in the establishment, scaring off guests and causing chaos at every turn. The ghost's backstory is steeped in tragedy and heartbreak - the captain was jilted by his lover and took his own life in 1899. As Sierra and Joshua lead the investigation, they are joined by an eclectic team of paranormal experts, including painting medium Cassidy Demopolis, healer Jericho, and a mysterious new guy whose past is shrouded in secrecy. With their combined skills, they are determined to solve the mystery of the captain's restless spirit. However, as they delve deeper into the ghost's history, they soon discover that the legend is not entirely accurate. The captain did not commit suicide - he was murdered. With this shocking revelation, Sierra and Joshua find themselves on the trail of a killer who has evaded justice for over a century. As the team works to solve the mystery and put the captain's soul to rest, they soon realize that they are not the only ones searching for the truth. A shadowy figure is lurking in the background, determined to stop them at all costs. Will they be able to solve the case before it's too late? Join the Gulf Coast Paranormal team on their latest thrilling adventure in "The Captain of Water Street."

Book excerpt: New York Times–Bestselling Author: A Key West psychic is unsure whether the man she’s drawn to is a killer . . . There are those who walk among us who are no longer alive, but not yet crossed over. They seek retribution . . . vengeance . . . to warn. Among the living, few intuit their presence. Katie O’Hara is one who can. As she’s drawn deeper and deeper into a gruesome years-old murder, whispered warnings from a spectral friend become more and more insistent. But Katie must uncover the truth: Could David Beckett really be guilty of his ex-fiancée’s murder? Worse—the body count’s rising on the Island of Bones, and the dead seem to be reenacting some macabre tableaux from history. The danger is increasing by the moment—especially as Katie finds herself irresistibly drawn to David, who may be responsible for more than just one killing . . . “An incredible storyteller.” —Los Angeles Daily News

Book excerpt: "It is the summer of 1854. Cholera has seized London with unprecedented intensity. A metropolis of more than 2 million people, London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure necessary to support its dense population - garbage removal, clean water, sewers - the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease that no one knows how to cure." "As their neighbors begin dying, two men are spurred to action: the Reverend Henry Whitehead, whose faith in a benevolent God is shaken by the seemingly random nature of the victims, and Dr. John Snow, whose ideas about contagion have been dismissed by the scientific community, but who is convinced that he knows how the disease is being transmitted. The Ghost Map chronicles the outbreak's spread and the desperate efforts to put an end to the epidemic - and solve the most pressing medical riddle of the age."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: "Before the entitled lived here exclusively, the marginalized died in droves." Founded in 1849 to care for indigent immigrants in Greenwich Village, St. Vincent's Hospital was sold in 2010 to create multi-million-dollar homes. In its 161 years of existence, the legendary institution treated survivors of the Titanic, tended to victims of both World Trade Center attacks, and served as Ground Zero of the AIDS Crisis. With honesty, humor, and flights of historical fancy, GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT'S tells the hospital's story through the eyes of a man who spent a winter on its 7th floor AIDS ward and survived just in time for the drug "cocktail" that saved so many lives. Featuring appearances by indomitable icons (from Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Mapplethorpe, Sidney Lumet to Vito Russo, Ed Koch and The Ramones), GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT'S explores coming out and coming back from the dead, gender fluidity and gentrification, the price of forgiveness, the cost of survival, and the ephemeral nature of New York City.
