(2023)(A book in the Mystic Isle Mysteries series)
A Novella by Sally J Smith and Jean Steffens
From USA Today bestselling authors Sally J. Smith & Jean Steffens comes a limited time novella on the mystic bayou...
Melanie Hamilton works as a fantasy tattoo artist at the Mansion at Mystic Isle, a getaway in the Louisiana bayou dedicated to all things paranormal, supernatural, and fantastic. Mel loves her job, loves her dishy boss Jack Stockton, and also loves the struggling resort. The Mansion at Mystic Isle is having its first-ever Annual Summer Jazz Festival, an event everyone hopes will showcase the resort’s many entertaining possibilities and put the place “on the map." The Dixieland jazz performances feature an antique upright piano once owned by Booker Jones, a 1920s New Orleans legend. Rumor has it the ghost of the famous ivory-tickler, Jones himself, haunts the decrepit eighty-eight—Nah, that’s crazy, right? Or is it? The old instrument jumps all over the stage on its own. It falls out of tune for no reason and howls like a rougarou under a full moon. It even attacks the piano players! Mel and Jack try everything to rid the piano of the haunting and save the festival. But they’re running out of keyboard artists and nothing’s working, not even voodoo! Will the haint ever make like Elvis and leave the building, or will this be the final curtain call for the jazz festival and the Mansion at Mystic Isle?
Things aren’t always what they seem in the Louisiana bayou, so come on along and get your creep on.
This story is only available for a limited time! Get your copy now before it's gone!
