Dr. Frank Light, archaeologist, is vastly annoyed. He's settled into a plush life - cushy department-head job at a university, suave girlfriend, book in the works. Now he's been ordered into the sludgy, back-water marshes of Maryland to fend off hordes of mosquitoes, all because of an inconsequential find at a bridge construction site. Maggie, the outspoken state archaeologist working the dig, insists the shipwreck has historical significance. Pastor Allingham is even more vehement, insisting the decaying timbers hide a rumored, long-lost slave graveyard.

As izzy begins to grow closer to will graham she realises how unstable he really is, izzy starts to consider trying to block him out of her life as fear and uncertainty grows inside of her

A young widow trying to survive, a ghost with an agenda, and the boat they share. Violent death comes suddenly to Smith Harbor, the Chesapeake Bay fishing village with intertwined and lasting relationships. Cyd Denlinger (a young woman conflicted by choices) wants to forget her late, philandering husband, keep her family from running her life, and regain her commercial boat captain's license. What she doesn't want is to be involved with an old flame OR a ghost. But the nagging ghost offers a trade that's hard to resist. "Find my killer!" she demands. In exchange, Cyd will own the boat Snapdragon. Easy for a ghost to offer something she can't use. Not so easy to solve a murder with too much help from family and friends. Not too safe either, especially when Cyd wonders: was the killer's target his victim, or her boat. (This book published in 2012 with a different cover.)

Sally McCain is a second-year college student whose escape from her unconventional childhood to her university came just in time. Growing up with a slacker stepdad, two younger reliant siblings, and a mother who wasn't too bright, they had to fight through tough times with hardly at money what with her stepdad Gil's failing novelty shop. When Gil passes away and her mother falls into a state of depression, it's up to Sal to bring the family through. With the novelty shop having been left to her, she has to figure out a way to make it profitable... and how to go back to college. Told by Sal herself, the tale is a delightful mix of funny, snarky, and sad, and uplifting as a whole. Here's What People Are Saying: "It's EXTREMELY well written. The characters are realistic. It's absolutely wonderful" - FinnWilson "This is the kind of book I'd buy if I saw it on a shelf at the store"- RoninKasaiken
