Now a young witch of 50 on the brink of converting into her full sorcerer’s powers, she has no idea that those questions will be turned into outright rebellion, all brought on by the arrival of an unscheduled steam train.Physician Dr. Frederick Everly is used to his mundane life in 19th-century Boston, but when the train he is in derails and he must confront evil magic to save an infant’s life, he’s suddenly thrown into a confounding world almost a century and a half away from where he started.Drawn to this unwilling time traveler from the start, Emma quickly realizes that Frederick, too, is becoming a sorcerer. But his is a wild conversion, entirely untrained--the type which legends say can only lead to madness or death.Quickly discovering themselves in a life-and-death struggle with Frederick’s all-too-magical, and far too malevolent, family, Emma and Frederick must help him survive his conversion and find a way to fight the conspirators, all while facing terrifying new truths about Emma’s past. But how will two unconverted sorcerers stop a conspiracy which began before their births and has already infected the lives of four different generations?Katherine Gilbert, author of the quirky urban fantasy series, More in Heaven and Earth, shows a more serious side in this contemporary fantasy tale of witches, magic, and dangerous conspiracies (with a small side of quirk).

One last assignment in his old job as an akukar (a fighter of demons and bad magic) doesn't sound that bad, especially when he's going to be accompanied by his new love, Annabella.But when Annabella and Armand reach the Queen Mary, the luxurious former ocean liner now turned into an impressive hotel and museum, they find that the stories of out-of-control ghosts haven't gone far enough. Terrors are stirring, from the miles of deeply-carpeted hallways and elegant staterooms to the polished-wood floors of the Grand Salon. It seems the spirits are tired of being overlooked--and this time they're going to have their say in blood.As the attacks grow more vicious and Annabella starts to be influenced by these voices from the past, can she and Armand fight them with just the help of a solicitor, his now-human ex-dog, Armand's ex-cat, a strangely-knowing little old lady, and a few others the ship seems to call much too loudly? They'd better, because what's stirring isn't human, and, if they lose, they may well find themselves trapped in a timeline which never even happened--or worse.Sorcerers, Spirits, and Ships is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Old readers will delight in a new outing with Armand and Annabella from Moonlight, Magnolias, and Magic, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and chilling suspense of this ghost story meets funny, magical murder mystery.On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats.
