You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

If I only had a brain...
Yes, that is your best cover ever. Good!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Deb, that is GORGEOUS!!! Didn't you say that Matty Groves was "spookier" than Weaver or Famous Flower? The cover definitely gives that feel.

The catalogue copy is as follows:
MATTY GROVES
A Mystery
DEBORAH GRABIEN
Ringan Laine is hesitant to attend the Callowen House Arts festival. The house has a famous ghost, and after two close encounters with ghosts, Ringan and his lover Penny Wintercraft-Hawkes are not anxious to meet another. But they are relieved to find that this time no exorcism is required of them; Miles Leight-Arnold is quite proud of his family phantom.
What no one there knows is that there is another, fiercely evil ghost moving through the walls at Callowen House. Dormant for five centuries but awakened and seeking revenge for a lost lover, this ghost is driven to madness by the band’s flautist, Jane Castle, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the woman he loved.
Matty Groves adds the echoes of history, and the acts—and consequences—of days gone by to a very modern mystery.

Because books.
Deb, that's gorgeous! And a whole page in the catalog is very cool indeed. Can't wait to see it in color.
Love this week's drabble topic, too. Off to let it brew...

Show, Don't Tell drabble:
At home, he emptied his pockets on the table inside the door. Out came his keys, on a plain ring with a white plastic tag. From his side pocket, loose change and a tube of Certs. From his back pocket came his wallet, worn black leather holding only his driver’s license, his library and credit cards, and a few bills. He withdrew his gun from its aging holster and his badge from his shirt pocket, laying them beside a carefully framed photo of a little girl about five, frozen mid-swing, curls flying, her grin as wide as the sky.
