Book excerpt: In the tradition of his renowned father, James J. Butcher’s debut novel is a brilliant urban fantasy about a young man who must throw out the magical rule book to solve the murder of his former mentor. On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is…not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as “not Department material,” Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he can’t help hoping he’ll somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors’ number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive.

"...throws ghost-hunting Texas gals and survivalists together in a haunted hotel. For those who believe in ghosts, thrills, chills, and giggles..." ~Kirkus Reviews "In DEAD MAN HAUNT, T. M. Simmons brings together a most unusual group, led by a writer and talented ghosthunter, who is bent on helping a very handsome ghost who likes to run naked through a disintegrating mineral springs hotel searching for his lost love. The sulting action is funny, full of crazy antics, and it's downright endearing for a murder mystery." ~NOVELTALK "This exciting paranormal whodunit uses ghosts as support characters, which surprisingly seems real because of the interplay between the spirits and the brave living sleuths. Alice and Twila take the existence of ghosts in stride as if it is an everyday occurrence, which to them it is, while Alice’s ex Jack denies their existence. As with DEAD MAN TALKING, T.M.

Simmons —The Middle of Ohio— Our intrepid crew of ghost hunters is at it again, this time in Ohio, where ghosts from the state's past roam the woods, and mythological beasts exist only in lore. Or do they? It's Alice's ex-husband, Jack, who spots a strange creature in Twila's little red car after he arrives in Ohio to spend some time fishing with Twila's husband, Jess, near their beautiful farmhouse deep in the woods of Ohio. Twila bravely tries to handle the situation alone, unaware the entity shadowing her is testing her psychic senses. At Jack's call, Alice and Granny pack what they need to help, along with Trucker and Miss Molly, and hie-tail it from Texas to Yankee land. Twila and Jess's farm, filled with historical burial mounds, and surrounded by Amish farmland, seems too peaceful to be dangerous. Perhaps the serenity lulls the local residents into believing they are safe, unable to see what truly lives among them. It takes the capture of a murderer and the exposure of a hidden society of clever creatures to sort this out.
