A Stitch in Crime
Winner and feature story of the 2017 Insecure Writer’s Support Group short story anthology contest published by Dancing Lemur Press. Featuring ghost whisperer Indigo Eady and her sidekick, the irrepressible Franny Bishop, a ghost who really knows how to live. When ex-boyfriend Badger interrupts her Friday night cross-stitch lesson with ghost pal Franny, Indigo Eady is not sorry—she was on the verge of conceding defeat anyway. She wants to decline the ghostbusting job he offers—it tends to upset her equilibrium—until he reveals how much it pays. When the cupboard is bare and the coffee pot empty, it’s hard to say no. While not the crime of the century, Indigo and Franny must stop a candy store ghostie with a sweet tooth from dumping valuable merchandise on the floor. Sounds simple enough. Until they discover, not a mischievous spirit with a wanton disregard for inventory, but a little ghost girl on a mission to save the nun who raised her. They soon realize more is at stake… Can the dead child’s cross-stitch pendant be the clue to help Indigo and Franny find the missing nun before it’s too late?

At first, Harlow Grayson refuses to take part in Crystal’s crazy scheme aboard a resurrected riverboat with iffy connections. But the lure of an entire month free of Crystal’s ghostly presence should they succeed reels her in like clickbait. When Harlow activates Crystal’s multicolored pen, she maneuvers between the physical and ethereal worlds and discovers not all is as it seems. Against the backdrop of 1920s glitz and glamor, cracks in the Starlight Riverboat’s makeup are showing. Can the sleuths solve the mystery and escape before things get out of hand?

How did Crystal wind up dead? She doesn’t know, but she’s determined to find out with Harlow’s help. Harlow wants no part of it, but it’s hard to argue with a ghost.

After dismissing his story, her conscience insists she investigate his murder (along with some prodding from Crystal).
