When Archivist Andrea Kelley scores a sweet rental in Charleston, WV, she discovers it's already occupied. But the early rising, bacon-loving ghost of six-year-old Billie Mae makes for a tolerable roommate. Until two bodies turn up nearby and Billie Mae launches a full-fledged haunting offensive. Andrea digs in, using her considerable research skills and position at a powerful repository to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding Billie Mae's death-and her mother's confession of murder. But will Billie Mae's antics be enough to convert her biggest skeptic? Detective William Taka is pretty sure his BFF is losing her sanity and dragging him down with her, but he has his own troubles. He's shot a kid, left his current girl, pissed off his superiors, re-lit an old feud with a formidable ex-ally, and now someone's tracking his every move.Caught between an increasing phantom fury and the consequences of Taka's actions, Andrea confronts the local crime boss, questions the motives of law enforcement, fields phone calls from the dead, and skulks around in the dark, unsure of everyone who crosses her path. Can she unravel the mystery of Billie Mae's death and its connection to Taka in time to save him? Modern Southern Gothic meets Sleuthing Procedural in this atmospheric murder mystery.

We are not alone. The Prometheus Probe is a human by design and sent by an advanced alien civilization. Prometheus's mission is to report on the development of intelligent life on Earth. It looks human. It walks among us, watches us, and learns from us, without exposing its secret. Through the ages, Prometheus's artificial eyes have observed humanity at its best and its worst. It has seen us rise to challenges and fall into hubris, risk all for the sake of others, and commit unspeakable atrocities. The Probe observes the human condition and reports its findings to its creator. And sometimes, it acts. THE PROMETHEUS SAGA is an anthology, thirteen speculative stories that explore what it means to be human. Florida Writers Association's Royal Palm Literary Awards: "Lilith," by Antonio Simon, Jr., won 1st Place for Published Short Story. "The Pisces Affair," by Daco Auffenorde, won 3rd Place for Published Short Story. "Manteo," by Elle Andrews Patt, won 3rd Place for Published Novella.
