Book excerpt: A mysterious letter is found tucked away among old family photos and memorabilia. There is no salutation but the writer seems to speak with familiarity about a beloved "house on the corner" and a "Dream Victorian." Is the first page missing? The letter talks about Charles and his four wives, Daniel who ran off to Alaska, and Electa Mudge who was part Indian. Who are Aunt Lou and Uncle Alvie? Most mysterious of all -who is Bessie and to whom is she writing?Curiosity is sparked and two sisters begin a quest to locate these houses and the stories hidden inside their walls. The first clues are old forgotten items stored in the family cottage on Lake Fenton, newspaper articles, and cemetery records. This book takes you through the lives of four families in the small town of Fenton, Michigan at the turn of the last century and their stories of courtship, love, adventure and intrigue

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t fret! The music historian and guitar sleuth brings you more astounding stories of rare guitar finds and the legends who owned them. Do you dream of finding a 1954 Stratocaster or 1952 Gibson Les Paul online, at a garage sale, or in the local penny saver? How about virtually rubbing elbows with one of your favorite rock legends? Following up his first-of-its-kind The Strat in the Attic, musician, journalist, and “guitarchaeologist” Deke Dickerson shares the stories behind dozens of more astounding finds including: A rarer-than-hens-teeth 1966 Hallmark Swept-Wing that originally belonged to Robbie Krieger of the Doors, stashed away in an attic in Alaska for forty years! A crazy-valuable 1958 Gibson Flying V belonging to a Chicago bluesman—who, it turns out, also happens to have an equally rare 1958 Gibson Explorer! An out-of-the-blue, a “to whom it may concern” email leads the author to a trailer park in Salem, Oregon, where one of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys’ original 1940s Epiphone Emperor archtops is waiting to be purchased for a song! Luthier R.C. Allen relates the tales of buying Nat “King” Cole Trio guitarist Oscar Moore’s Stromberg Master 400 archtop and of being gifted a 1953 Standel amp from Merle Travis! Buddy Merrill, the amazingly talented guitarist from the Lawrence Welk show, gives his 1970 Micro-Frets Huntington to the author, but only if he “promises to PRACTICE.” Photos of the guitars and other exciting memorabilia round out a package that no vintage-guitar aficionado will want to be without! “The man knows how to tell a great story.” —Jonathan Kellerman, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

William gets his answer when his former housekeeper sends him a magic token that once again transports him to Sir Simon’s castle in the Middle Ages, this time with Jason. There the two friends face a dangerous army of rats and their gigantic leader. Once before, William was a hero in Sir Simon’s day. Now it’s up to William to destroy the rats and save the kingdom in the final battle for the castle.

Book excerpt: John Russell has been a highly regarded professional psychic for almost fifty years, reading for thousands of clients in over thirty countries around the world. As a paranormal investigator, he has physically experienced over eight hundred paranormal manifestations. A Knock in the Attic: True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures is his story, not only about his psychic awakening and the abundance of mind-blowing otherworldly confrontations he’s experienced but also about the point at which he lost his faith and gave up on himself, his psychic gifts, and the beings on the Other Side. But they didn't give up on him. A prequel of sorts to Russell’s first book, Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead, A Knock in the Attic begins with his first paranormal experience when he was five years old and follows the highlights of his development as a psychic and paranormal investigator into adulthood, explaining what it’s like to grow up psychic, to be inundated with real spiritual experiences, and, yes, sometimes even to question your spiritual gifts and the guidance from the Other Side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uh-oh, there might be something creeping around in the attic. Could it be a monster? After a little girl hears something snooping around in the attic when she’s sleeping, she decides to investigate. How can she sleep when something is making creaking noises and stealing her toys when she’s not looking? "In typically zany Mayer fashion, an intrepid girl confronts a resident nightmare with delightfully unexpected results."—Publishers Weekly "The story is satisfying, humorous, possibly bibliotherapeutic, and significantly different from previous titles to justify making room on the shelf for this nightmare as well."—School Library Journal
