To Whom It May Concern:

 

If you're reading this letter, it's quite likely that I, Abigail Cooper, did not make it back alive. 

  

Back from where, you ask?  Well, if I told you I'd have to kill you...  Bwahahahahahaha!!!  That never gets old!

 

No, seriously, it's top secret.  Completely classified.  My lips are sealed.  You'd have to torture me for days and days just to get me to give up my name, rank, and serial number...

 

Pause...  Pause....  FINE!  I'll tell you!

 

Recently, my fiancé Dutch and I were recruited by the CIA to go deep undercover on a foreign espionage mission to recover a missing drone stolen from a military base in Nevada.  The drone was a prototype armed with a brand new surveillance system able to pinpoint and target an individual's unique aura from half a mile in the sky.  In other words, it's a system that could locate, target and take out any known terrorist the moment they stepped outside, day or night.  On the downside, losing it meant that it could be used to take out our president or our allies as well, which is what made this mission to recover the drone so crucial.

 

To that end, Dutch and I were assigned new secret identities - he got slick arms dealer, I got slick arms dealer's flouncy bimbo girlfriend...figures, right?  Anyway, within the first 24 hours of our mission we were thrust into dealing with the Chechen mob, dodging an assassination attempt, working a series of dangerous arms deals, trying hard not to get kidnapped, and exposing an illegal gambling ring.  And if you think that's bad, you should have seen what happened the day after that!

 

I'd tell you all about here, but it's quite a story, full of twists and turns so I've sent back daily reports to Victoria Laurie who has written it all down and documented it in her new book, Vision Impossilbe out July 5th - just in time for your week at the beach!  Or, if you're like me, a week in the backyard with an inflatable pool, a cooler full of cold beer, and hot dogs on the grill.  Staycation, anyone?

 

Regardless, I hope you're all having a marvelous summer and we'll chat again next year around this time when I'm sure I'll be up to my earlobes in hijinks and bad guys because, these days, that's just how I roll, yo.  ;)

 

xoxo,

Top o' the mornin' to ya!
 
Gilley Gillespie here, checking in from Ireland...home 

of foul weather, delicious pastries, and one freaky phantom!
 
Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself.  M. J. wanted 

me to tell you a little about our latest adventure, but I don't know why she picks me for this detail...she knows that talking about this stuff makes me anxious, which causes a dangerous dip in my blood sugar.  

It's a serious medical condition, actually.  (Does anybody have a candy bar?)
 
Anyway, a few weeks ago, our producer, Peter Gophner decided it might be a good idea to send the Ghoul Getters' team to this remote castle built on top 

of this tiny island, accessible only by a causeway, traversable only during low tides.  Complicated 

enough for ya?  (Seriously folks...anyone got a Snickers bar or a Milky Way...anybody?  Anybody?)
 
Why would we agree to this kind of a tricky ghost 

bust, you ask?  Well, because the castle is said to be the home of hidden treasure - millions of dollars 

worth of gold bullion, which we'd get to keep if we found it.  The problem?  The treasure is guarded by 

an eight-foot tall phantom reputed to get its jollies by throwing treasure seekers off the sides of the cliffs!  (Christmas candy?  Chanukah chocolate?)
 
At the start of the bust, the team thought M. J. and Heath could totally handle the phantom, but we found out real quick that we were way wrong.  (Bite-sized Butterfinger? Kit-Kat?  M&M?!!!)  To make matters worse, right after we entered the castle we started 

losing members of our own team!  (Breath mint?  

Tic-tac?  Linty piece of broken candy cane at the bottom of your purse?!!!)
 
Seriously, this was hands down the freakiest bust 

we've been on so far, and I would stick around to tell you more, but as none of you are giving up the sugar, I must leave you to go forage for some on my own!
 
If you still want to know more, you can get the full story by picking up a copy of Ghouls, Ghouls, 

Ghouls Tuesday, December 28th!
 
Hugs and Happy Holidays!

 Deadman's
 
Good morning,
 
Ian Wigby here.  I've come through the portal to tell you a bit about our search for the third Oracle as told by Miss Victoria Laurie in the novel, The Curse of Deadman's Forest - her second book in the Oracles of Delphi Keep series.
 
As I'm stepping forward in time to send you this message, for us back at Delphi Keep it's late summer 1939.  My best mate, Carl, and I are attempting to decipher the riddle of the second prophecy written by the great Phoenician Oracle, Laodamia.  Within the prophecy, Laodamia hints that the time to venture back through the portal is at hand, and once we embark on our quest, we're to search for a healer who will become the third Oracle within our small band of orphans, working to fight the evil forces of the underworld god, Demogorgon.
 
Laodamia has warned us, however, that our journey will not be without danger.  She hints of the curse said to roam the forest where the healer resides.  A curse that has claimed many lives and will surely threaten ours.
 
The sorcerer Magus the Black is also using his dark magic against us, and now we know he's been joined not only by his evil sibling, Caphiera the Cold, but also their frightful sister, Atroposa the Terrible.  
 
How does it all end, you ask?  Well, I'd dearly like to share more, but I'm afraid I must get back to the keep.  To discover how it all unfolds, I hope you'll pick up a copy of The Curse of Deadman's Forest when it's released this coming Tuesday, August 24th!  
 
All best,
 
Ian Wigby

Hello my friends and fans!

Abby Cooper here to tell you a bit about my first spring here in Austin. 
I wish I could say it was an easy transition, but it's me we're talking about....which means it's never easy!  
 
As you know, my S.O. and I were planning to transfer from our lovely home in Royal Oak, Michigan to Austin, Texas last winter.  Things got slightly delayed but we finally made it down here April 1st.  Yep, that's right...we landed on April Fools' Day.  Ah...the irony.  :)

So, Dutch and I hit the ground running at our new jobs within the FBI's 
Cold Case Division, which is fitting given the rather frigid welcome I received from the other investigators....ahem!

Anyhoodle, as I used my radar to help the squad pull fresh leads from cold cases, my partner and good friend Candice decided she was long overdue for a meltdown, and she and Brice did their on-again/off-again thing with reckless abandon, driving the rest of us straight to Crazy Town.  

To make matters worse, I got suspended.  SUSPENDED!  I mean, seriously, you have one lousy shootout with a bad guy your third day on the job and the Bureau needs you to take a little paid leave while they investigate whether or not your killing a man was all "justified" and such...those FBI boys and their pesky protocols....sheesh!

After that...well...things REALLY got interesting.  But you can probably read all about that on July 6th when A Glimpse of Evil is released.  

In the meantime, I hope you are all having a fabulous summer!  I'm off to cook Dutch dinner....and yes, I have the local fire station's number on speed dial!  Hmmm....maybe I should just order us some pizza?  :)

xoxo!

Abby
