Book Description
Alice May Parker moves with her family to the sleepy town of Pacific Grove after her Mom dies, but little does she know the strange and terrifying events to come.When she falls into the bay during a kayaking trip, she is rescued from drowning by the mysterious Henry Raphael. Handsome, old fashioned and cordial, he is unlike any other boy she has known before. Intelligent and romantic, he sees straight into her soul. Soon Alice and Henry are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance until she finds out that Henry is not all what he seems. . . "A supernatural mystery, a coming of age story with romance, faith and hope. The biggest theme in the novel is what it means to be alive, focusing on Alice as she tries to navigate her grief for her mother, her new relationship, and her family. As history, a curse and ghosts plague the town, life and death are tackled in a unique way. Tony Lee Moral doesn't shy away from his characters questioning belief, and they are confronted with whether they need to see to believe, or believe to see. The plot comes full circle by the end, but the last page will leave you wanting more. It's clear this is just the beginning for Alice. A must read with strong prose that carries an eerie undercurrent, slowly delving into details as the mystery unfolds." - Readers Favourite"Overall, I thought it was an An enjoyable adventure story filled with love, angst and ghosts." - Writing Times"Moral has a great story, with twists and turns that keep the reader turning the pages. It is part love story, part thriller - hardly surprising given Moral's previous work. The magical realism is a new diversion. . . It's clever." - Julia Webb Harvey"This book is a great read for anyone who loves a great ghost story or paranormal romance." - Debbie McClure"I loved the setting of this novel - Monterey, CA. It definitely added to the story and felt real. I liked Henry and some of the other characters." - The Story SanctuaryVoted among 13 Ghost stories to read and enjoy on Halloween - The Treasured BookshelfAbout the AuthorTony Lee Moral is a mystery and suspense writer who has written three books on the works of Alfred Hitchcock; The Making of Hitchcock's The Birds, Hitchcock and the Making of Marnie and Alfred Hitchcock's Movie Making Masterclass. He is the author of two published novels and writes for film and television. After spending two years working in Monterey and Pacific Grove for National Geographic Television, he wrote The Haunting of Alice May which is the first in a series of Ghost Maven novels. Tony uses Hitchcock's suspense techniques when formulating plot, story and character which he elaborates in his book Alfred Hitchcock's Movie Making Masterclass - a guide how to write a screenplay or novel. Tony grew up by the sea in Hastings, England and has always been inspired by the ocean. When moving to Monterey, the town formed the perfect backdrop for a story about the supernatural, given the area's rich folklore and history as the oldest town in California.

THE FIRST HAUNTED BOOKSHOP MYSTERY FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR CLEO COYLE—WRITING AS ALICE KIMBERLY “Part cozy and part hard-boiled detective novel with traces of the supernatural, The Ghost and Mrs. McClure is just a lot of fun.”—The Mystery Reader Young widow Penelope Thornton-McClure and her old Aunt Sadie are making ends meet by managing a mystery book shop—a quaint Rhode Island landmark rumored to be haunted. Pen may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in good publicity—like nabbing Timothy Brennan for a book signing. But soon after the bestselling thriller writer reveals a secret about the store’s link to a 1940s murder, he keels over dead—and right in the middle of the store’s new Community Events space. Who gives Mrs. McClure the first clue that it was murder? The bookstore’s full-time ghost—a PI murdered on the very spot more than fifty years ago. Is he a figment of Pen’s overactive imagination? Or is the oddly likable fedora-wearing specter the only hope Pen has to solve the crime? You can bet your everlasting life on it...

Pages : 168
Book Description
Whose was the face first seen through the eyes of seven year old Alice? Why was she paid random visits over the following twelve years? - Lurking in the shadows; through the mist and once in her bedroom mirror? Always the same face although older as the years had passed, until it became that of a young man. Realising the sightings were for her eyes only, Alice had never told a soul of the hauntings in the hope that they would stop. When phantom telephone calls began waking her in the dead of night accompanied by mysterious knockings at the door - through rain, hail or snow, she began to doubt her own sanity. After first confiding in her older brother she eventually enlisted the help of a medium to see whether it was the supernatural she was experiencing. He took her on a journey to explore what he believed to be a forgotten memory attempting to rise to the surface. Was the medium right or was her mother's belief that Alice was simply sleepwalking? Was she delusional as she herself feared or was her brother right after all, the times she'd heard him say over the years that Alice was 'A bit missing?'
