"Enchanted Holidays is one anthology that truly lives up to its title. I highly recommend this wonderful mixture of stories with a wide range of emotions by six very talented authors. Make sure this one is on your holiday gift giving list!"--Sally Painter, Word Museum
"This is a book that readers will enjoy reading from the beginning to the end. The descriptions and characters kept this reader wishing there was more, but loving the endings."--Donna, Fallen Angel Reviews "Enchanted Holidays is a book about not only the Christmas season but of finding and rekindling romances that have needed healing in some way. It is about defeating all the demons that have chased them through their lives and relationships. I have found that this book to be tender and caring and in some ways rewarding for these characters. This is a book filled with action packed scenarios, caring and romantically filled chapters, and some that are heart wrenching. All in all, this is an anthology written by superb authors with romance in their hearts. For me this was a fantastic and inspirational read."--Sheryl, for Coffee Time Romance and Karen Find Out About New Books
Chapter One "HOW DO YOU LIKE it?" Lucy Ann Malloy, standing at the top of the stairs, turned to the right, then to the left as she modeled the blue-and-green pastel dress. "I found it in the attic with some of my old things." She lingered in the doorway on the main floor. "Well?" Lana Malloy glanced up from editing the ad for her new PI business. "Nice," she said and returned to her work. Lucy moved to Lana's side and gazed over her shoulder. "What are you working on?" "The ad for the newspaper and magazines. I've got to figure out how to attract some business, or I'll never make it through the first month." A chill filled the air surrounding Lana and she shivered, pulling her sweater tightly around her. "I have an idea, and it's actually a pretty good one. I know who your first client can be." Without even glancing away from her paper, Lana asked, "And who would that be?" "Me." "You?" Lana looked up, her interest piqued. "What are you talking about?" Lucy's white hair shone with blue highlights as if she'd just had it rinsed. She was very well preserved from someone who'd been dead twenty years. "Find my murderer so I can rest in peace. How about it?" Lana's great aunt had been with her since she moved into the old beach house in Charleston, South Carolina five years ago. "And who would be paying for my services?" Lana smiled, pulling her reading glasses off and laying them on her desk. She loved her great aunt, but she could be a card. Lucy had always been a rebel, always tried to be different from everyone else. "Besides, you died over twenty years ago. That's a cold trail for sure." "I got money, smarty—a lot of money that no one has found yet." Lucy covered her mouth with both hands then removed them. "Oh, well, the cat's out of the bag now. I can't spend it anyway." "But you died—" "Let me finish. Shows how much you, or any of those pigs know." She glided back and forth across the room as if she were dancing at her coming-out ball. "Well?" "Get out your pen and pad and take notes." "Not until I'm sure what you're telling me is the truth." Lucy sometimes changed details to suit herself and the moment, but she'd never talked about her death before. Lana never questioned her because she thought it may be too painful for her aunt. "Have I ever lied? Never mind, don't answer that." Lucy laughed as she stopped in mid-air, lowered herself down to the desk and hovered in a sitting position just above the surface. Then she crossed her legs. "It was Valentine's Day. The last thing I remember, I was helping Davide eat his dinner. He had been sick the last few days, and I went over to visit. He didn't eat much of his potato soup, and I love potato soup on a cold winter's night. You know, that kind your mother used to whip up?" Lucy licked her lips. "I miss that since I've been dead. There's no need to eat anymore…no appetite." "Get on with your murder case." "Oh, yeah. I tend to get sidetracked now and then." She giggled. "Anyway, I never left that room until I woke up in this house dead and looked down on my body lying on the living room floor, right in front of my sofa. The next morning, your mother came to see me and found me…I mean, my body. That's it." "Right. You were poisoned, but your murderer was never caught," Lana mused. "You call yourself a private investigator? Elementary, my dear Lana. Use some logic. How did I get from Davide's house to my house?"
