Toward No Earthly Pole
James limped toward the manor, dodging a coach as it barreled down the cobblestone road. The horses never once slowed as they trotted over the stones, iron shoes echoing. It had taken James weeks to find the home of Lady Hartfield. Captain Hartfield had spoken often of his country manor, but he hadn’t mentioned the one in the city, the one his wife had apparently preferred. James couldn’t image having one house let alone two. He was renting a single room from a local family of cotton spinners, a garret bedroom he couldn’t properly stand up in with gaps in the walls that whistled when the freezing wind blew through, his tiny coal stove not enough to heat it.

A Date with the Dark
There was a dark shadow behind her in the bathroom mirror. Again. The real estate agent had warned Cassie that the house was haunted, but it was such a good deal she couldn’t pass it up. There was a whirlpool tub in the master bath, walk-in closets everywhere, a lovely kitchen backsplash, and a wine cellar. A freaking wine cellar. What was wrong with a little haunting if she could have her house stocked with her favorite Merlot at all times?
