New Beginnings - Ghost Detective Short Stories, #8

Depending on the quality of one's company (or the lack thereof), Christmas can be the most wonderful and heartwarming day - or the absolute worst. And of course, a nice covering of snow never hurts. Clothilde and Robert never experienced a white Christmas in their thirty years as ghosts. As long as they had each other, nobody complained. When the latest ghost arrives, buried the day before Christmas, Robert and Clothilde's decades-old traditions for the holiday are interrupted. Their new guest, impeccably polite though he may be, appears to have no desire to address his unfinished business. Why does he linger if none of it matters to him?  Severed Ties is also available in the collection Unfinished Business, Volume 2.

Severed Ties - Ghost Detective Short Stories, #10

A perfectly delivered right hook to the face hardly announces the beginnings of a promising relationship. And yet, Thomas finds himself drawn to the beautiful, hot-mess-of-a-woman sitting next to him on the plane. Isabelle, running from her old life with nothing but a carry-on and a bag full of chocolate, didn't need to add assault to her list of worries. Nor her ill-timed attraction to the kind man whose glasses she just smashed into his nose. Their story could have ended with an awkward parting at the airport, but destiny and a meddling brother clearly think otherwise - even though the hits keep coming...

Nobody ever said high school was boring - or easy. Everyone searches for their place - some do their best to fit in, others thrive in standing out.

Or a jail break creating unimaginable damage with a slight miscalculation. All of the above are covered in A Thief in the Night. Contains the short stories Critters, Two's Company, Gertrude and the Trojan Horse, Like Mother Like Daughter, and The Red Brick Haze.
