The Brides of Aberdar
In the old Tudor manor house of Aberdar, ghosts return to haunt each new generation.
Getting down from the carriage at Aberdar Manor, the new governess, Miss Tetterman, is repelled by the pervasive shadows and gloom–until little Lyneth and Christine come flying into her empty arms. No one can resist these motherless twins, and from this day on, Lyneth and Christine will always be Tetty’s "darlings." Who else would immediately accept Tetty and her scarred face? But she is so warm and good, perhaps Sir Edward himself will grow too fond of her–or so fears the bitter spinster Tante Louise, plotting against the intruder.
The gentle Hil, who manages the estate, might also be a suitable match for Tetty. But Hil has a dim ability to see into the future, and so he greets Tetty with dread. At first only Hil knows of the ancient curse that hangs over the future brides of Aberdar–but once the Aberdar women are engaged or married, the ghosts of the Manor begin to show themselves, unleashing their seductive power to enmesh and destroy.
The Honey Harlot
One woman has the answer to history’s strangest maritime mystery
Though history would remember her as the Marie Celeste, the ship’s name was Mary Celeste. She was a brig—square-rigged, a hundred feet long, large enough for a crew of nine, and sturdy enough to cross the Atlantic and bring profits home to its masters—a beautiful ship that was destined for tragedy. On December 4, 1872, the Mary Celeste is found adrift off the coast of Portugal with cargo in her hold, food upon her tables, and half-written letters on her captain’s desk. But not a soul can be found on board. This mystery has puzzled maritime scholars for over a century. One woman knows the answers, because she was there from the beginning, and knows the seductive “Honey Mary” the ship was secretly named after. As she retraces the events that lead up to that fateful voyage, she finds that the mind can be as dark and cold as an ocean grave.
