The Golden Promise of Cripple Creek (Travels Across Time, Book 3): Love During the Boom Times | An Enthralling Blend of Passion, Self-Discovery, and the Enduring Quest for Justice by Mary Ellen Johnson

When William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead; it’s not even past,” he could have been referring to the Irish.

America is about today, Maeve had decided during her and her older brother’s flight home from their vacation. While Padrick buried himself in a tome about the Easter Rebellion and its aftermath, her thoughts revolved around her future. America is where we can invent ourselves however we please; where we always look to the future and where we may build castles in the air, but that’s better than stumbling around in the rubble of the past.

Somewhere over the Atlantic Maeve had put aside childish things. She’d vowed to pursue success as ardently as her Irish relatives pursued their psychic injuries. They might lament they were helplessly buffeted by fate, but they had marinated in their victimhood so long they wouldn’t have chosen another outcome even if it had been offered.

Maeve Mooney would craft her own destiny.

The Message: The Dead Are Talking. The Living Are Lying by Sandie Baldry

Detective Inspector Nick Lewis is a rational man—he doesn’t believe in ghosts, spirits, or anything that goes bump in the night.

Nick shifted in his seat, searching for a scrap of comfort on the rigid plastic chair. The heat in the community centre didn’t help; he’d already shed his jacket, draping it behind him, but the warmth wasn’t the real source of his discomfort. A slow flush crept up his neck, the kind that had nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with being there, of all places. He dreaded someone recognising him as a detective. He’d never hear the end of it.

When Kerry first invited him, he’d pictured a handful of curious locals turning up. Instead, the hall was crammed, and more people were squeezing through the doors, scanning for empty seats. His sixteen-year-old daughter sat beside him, bright-eyed, vibrating with anticipation. At the same time, he quietly regretted every life choice that had brought him to this moment.

He glanced around, genuinely baffled that so many believed Mystic Jenny, the woman standing at the front, could communicate with the dead. To him, the whole thing ranged somewhere between wishful thinking and outright fraud. What unsettled him more was seeing his daughter so invested, so sure. The growing murmurs of excitement around him pressed in from all sides.

The Day I Died by C.M. Francis

Introduction:
This is a nightmare. The roar of the sirens blares in her ears. Pound, pound, pound… Two paramedics fumble across the ambulance. Screeching in her head, like a hammer, a drill, a bomb.

Pound, pound, pound… A face mask covers her mouth. But she gags and something crawls up through her throat.

Pound, pound, pound. She rips the mask off her face and vomits.

POUND, POUND, POUND. Blood.

POUND, POUND, POUND. A stranger yells at her, but all she hears is the buzzing.

POUND, POUND, POUND! The overhead light glows brighter and brighter.

POUND, POUND, POUND! Her eyes roll backward.

POUND POUND POUN—

Mrs. Wallenberg: a Holocaust romance by J. Michael Dolan

The novel Mrs. Wallenberg opens in 1997 with the aged if still feisty Berber Smit recalling the sizzling love affair she had half a century earlier with the greatest hero of the Holocaust. Nor does she stop there, giving an insider’s account of what made Raoul Wallenberg the legend he is today.

EXCERPT: Chapter I. The Pages of My Heart
April 1997
Aberdeen, Scotland

Join me in a story from days gone by that, if you can get past my handwriting, you won’t soon be forgetting.
To look at its author is to see a wrinkling old woman, hair as faded and brittle as pressed flowers. But don’t hold your breath waiting for me to complain. I was twenty once, and by most accounts a beauty—five-foot-nine, hair the yellow of ripe wheat, lips bee-stung, eyes emerald—but nobody save she condemned to die before her time escapes the insults of old age.
It’s enough that a merciful Providence has condescended to keep my memory young. And what memories they are! Of a momentous, murderous era, a time when darkness swept the land, and of a man who in his courage, his compassion, dared raise a lamp against that darkness—a man who, until they stole him from my arms, I had the great good fortune of calling my lover.
