You’re Not Alone
Whispers Series Book 1
by Nance Newman
Genre: Paranormal Mystery
When you’re dead, you’re dead. That’s it. Nothing more. At least
that’s what Quinn O’Reilly thinks until she starts hearing
whispers after losing the love of her life to cancer. Quinn either
has to start believing in an afterlife or admit that her own sanity
is in jeopardy. As a battle begins for her beloved’s estate,
threatening her with financial ruin, the voices intensify.

is in jeopardy. As a battle begins for her beloved’s estate,

To make them stop, Quinn and her best friend Chaz follow an unlikely mix
of characters into the world of spirits, ghosts and specters. What
they must do to unravel the mystery of the whispers tests Quinn’s
belief system in every way. Can the dead really reach out from the
other side? Can Quinn open her mind enough to help her and her dead
lover? Is it okay to commit a crime for a greater purpose? And what
is appropriate attire for a séance or digging up a grave?

Bad Man, Bad Ghost
Whispers Series Book 2
Finding clues in the shoes of a dead man in a coffin wasn’t what Quinn
thought she would do when she became a mortician. She also didn’t
expect the bodies that entered her funeral home to have lived their
lives as bad men or to whisper their requests to her—not only
demands that she has to fulfill to get them to stop, but ones that
might lead her to commit acts on the wrong side of the law.

might lead her to commit acts on the wrong side of the law.
The spirit of a mob boss has entered Quinn O’Reilly’s funeral parlor
and his whispers drag her into a world of criminals, secrets and
lies. Once again, she enlists the help of her friends—Andjela, a
communicator with the dead, Mr. Princeton, a professor of Egyptian
studies at the local university, Chester, the owner of the town
cemetery and Chaz, her best friend and assistant—to find the clues
that will lead her to what the dead man wants. She realizes that she
can’t answer the whispers alone which force her to put her friends
in danger.

Soon she finds it’s not only the dead Mafia boss that wants something
from her, but so does his wife, his mistress and strange, dark men in
dark suits.

clues Eleanor’s spirit has communicated to them. It leads them to
the now defunct, dark, and foreboding subway tunnels beneath the city
where they discover they’re not the only one’s searching for
whatever Eleanor has hidden. There’s a war going on in the tunnels
and they can’t tell who’s winning—the ghosts or the Mafia. What
will happen if the war in the tunnel keeps them from finding the
answers to Eleanor’s clues? Will the price they have to pay for
being in the middle of it be too much for Quinn to handle?

I have been writing in some form or other since high school when I
bought my first guitar (a 12 string for $50 from one of those
magazines my mother used to receive in the mail) and began writing
songs. In college, I started my first novel that I hope to go back to
and finish someday.

Thanks for the great giveaway!
the book looks like an amazing read!
It was a lot of fun to write. I hope you get a chance to read it!
I hope you get a chance to read them and tell me what you think!!
I’m loving all of these covers.
Thank you! It’s always hard to get your covers the way you want them. I really appreciate the feedback. I hope you get a chance to read the series!
The whole series looks great. Stick a ghost (or a dog!) in a mystery book, and I’m interested!
I had a lot of fun writing this series. I got the idea for the ghost aspect of it from something that happened to my mother. I got the idea of the Mafia mystery aspect from a man I met at a fast food restaurant who was involved in the Mafia. It seemed like a great combination to me! I hope you get to read them and enjoy the stories!
How fascinating. I love hearing how author’s get their ideas! I hope your tour is a smashing success and I’m thrilled to share:)
This sounds like a great series! My favorite cover is Bad Man, Bad Ghost!
I really like the covers also. And the titles!
The figure on each cover is the ghost the book is about. The third book with the older lady was the wife of a Mafia member and the last book with the younger girl is someone who is related to Mafia members but got involved in something she shouldn’t have. I enjoyed coming up with the ideas for the covers, so thank you for the great comments!
Looks like a cool series!
It does! I went ahead and grabbed the first book. These sound like my kind of stories:)
I look forward to hearing what you think about it. The first book tells the story of how it all began. The Mafia enters in the second book. I hope you enjoy it!
I love spooky covers and ghosts. Looks good to me.
