Nine heiresses are missing in Gilded Age New York with no ransom demand. Journalist Miriam Cole's sister was the first to vanish twelve years ago. The only connection? They all attended the exclusive Pembroke School.

As the Vanderbilt Ball approaches, a series of unexplained earthquakes have New York City on edge. Miriam's attempts to understand their cause lands her in the place she least wants to be. Confronting her deepest fears may be the only way to find the missing Pembroke Girls and save her sister. But the question that haunts Miriam most is whether Gwen can still be saved.

The adventure continues in SLIPSTREAM the second book of the IMPROBABLE Trilogy, a new historical fantasy thriller from the author of The CHRONOS Files. Miriam finds herself stranded in an alternative reality where subtle changes in the timeline have her struggling to maintain her alliances and uncertain as to exactly where she stands with Elias. To make matters worse, the New York papers are now touting another presumed victim of the Ripper — a woman Miriam remembers as very much alive — and new information suggests that this murder won't be the last.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. After my last encounter with the other side, I thought I’d earned a break. But life—and death—don't work that way. The very living Herbert Court has just barged into my life, claiming he's being haunted by a spirit and needs my help. The catch? Herbert's got his own paranormal gifts—but getting him to realize that is way harder than I thought. Turns out, I’m not entirely good at this whole mentor thing. If I'd only known that Herbert would show up and destroy everything I’ve worked so hard to protect, I would’ve sent him packing at first sight.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. Over the last year, I have confronted criminals, solved murders, saved lives, had multiple brushes with death, looked into the eyes of a serial killer, and stared down the barrel of a gun.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. Right now, I’m on my way to Los Angeles with my boyfriend and a spirit. The spirit's name is Jose, and he was executed on death row for a murder he didn’t commit. Our mission, once we land, is to find out who the real killer was and make sure justice is served. Though I also plan to visit Hollywood Blvd, try caviar, and look for a (living) celebrity or two - because even a medium needs a day off every now and then.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. For the first time in my adult life, I am in a big city. Los Angeles! It’s everything and nothing like I imagined.

Dead people with exactly one aim: to catch a killer.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. At least...I used to. Communications with the "other side" are down, and I have no idea why.

Police have all but closed the case because the evidence overwhelmingly points to one person. Problem is, my medium senses are telling me there's more to the story.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. Catching killers and solving murders for those who have passed away is sort of my thing. Is it fun? No. Have I almost died? Multiple times. I'm not sure why I've been predestined to be a medium to the traumatically deceased but I have. I’m used to it by now. At least, I thought I was. Until this afternoon. A new spirit appeared to me, and this one is different. This one is personal.

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people. I'm not your typical medium. The kind portrayed on your favorite television shows. The spirits who visit me aren't interested in reuniting with loved ones. Nope. The spirits I connect with have sought me out for one thing and one thing only: justice. A task that would be easier if I were a homicide detective instead of a 23-year-old wannabe journalist with a love of hot romance novels.
