Chattanooga has a storied past, a past that still lives through the spirits that haunt the city. Whether it is the ghost of the Delta Queen still lingering from the days of the river trade, the porter who forever roams the grounds of the historic Terminal Station, or the restless souls that haunt from beneath the city in its elaborate underground tunnel system, the specter of Chattanooga’s past is everywhere. Join authors Jessica Penot and Amy Petulla as they survey the most historically haunted places in and around the Scenic City. Includes photos! “Until quite recently, Chattanooga was a city whose ghosts were ill documented.

I had my whole life planned out--until, that is, my husband of twenty-eight years dropped a bombshell on me. At a mall food court, no less. Now that I'm going through a decidedly unplanned divorce, the one place I want to be is my family's theme park in Gallows Bay. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not the happiest place on Earth (TM). But it does have something special that sets it apart: Magic. Real. Magic. Okay, so my life is no longer going according to plan. I have to figure out this magic stuff, all while licking my wounds, reconnecting with old friends, dealing with a resentful stepsister, and pulling the occasional housekeeping shift at the park. And that's all before I accidentally summon the ghost of an eighteenth-century pirate hunter with a healthy fear of women's ankles. I've got a lot on my plate, and I've got to figure everything out fast because someone is sabotaging my family's theme park. And if they succeed, a long-dead pirate may finally get the vengeance he's been waiting for... It's a Plunderful Life is the first book in the Gallows Bay Series, for people who believe in new beginnings, the power of female friendships, and the wisdom that comes with growing older.
