In a world-altering cosmic event, the ghosts of everyone who ever died suddenly become visible to the living. They may be dead, but they're ready to rejoin society. All hundred billion of them. In this strange new world where everyone stays around forever, Ryan Matney decides that life really begins at death. So, with the help of some questionable technology, he embarks on a permanent out-of-body experience and becomes a ghost himself. It doesn’t go well. And soon, Ryan finds that he wants his body back. But it’s not where he left it. And if he doesn’t get back into it by the end of the week, he’ll cease to exist. Totally. Forever. Also, there’s a breakfast cereal he really wants to try. That’s less of a problem. But still a problem. “Laced with poignancy, humor, and loads of twists and turns” (Rachel Reads). “I found myself up late at night instead of sleeping and ignoring household chores wanting to know what happened next” (JBronder Book Reviews)

The "hilarious and compelling" breakout surprise of 2017 has an even-more-addictive sequel! It’s been seven years since all the ghosts came back. Now, in four days, they’ll all be invisible again. The clock is ticking. Meanwhile the ghost of Abraham Lincoln has been prominently annihilated in mid-speech. And he’s not the only one; other ghosts are also being obliterated from the face of the Earth. All the evidence points to the Post-Mortal Services Clinic, where Ryan Matney happens to be a lowly, bored lab assistant. So Ryan and the brilliant scientist Margie join forces with their incompetent and semi-corporeal detective Lowell and a sketchy psychic medium whose powers truly are medium at best. Together they race to stop the Clinic from falling into the wrong hands before the lights go out on the haunted world. And maybe, just maybe, Ryan won’t die this time. Yes he will. More than once. The second book in the series that has been called “crazy-fun and cleverly written”, “hugely imaginative”, and “the most fun I've had in fiction in a long time”.

As a doctor in Vietnam, Lily survived unimaginable terror and loss. Now, safely ensconced in a close-knit Maine town and a seemingly comfortable marriage, she no longer needs to be afraid, but she is: afraid of light, afraid of sudden sounds, afraid of seeing the wide-eyed child of war who haunts her. So Lily is unprepared for the act of betrayal that threatens to take away the one thing she cannot live without: her young son. Plunged into a bitter custody battle, befriended by a man with a heartbreaking secret of his own, Lily must fight–to escape her own memories, to survive an uncertain future, and to protect, above all else, the love between a mother and child.

"A majestic book."--Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score A unique joint memoir by a U.S. Marine and a conflict photographer whose unlikely friendship helped both heal their war-wounded bodies and souls "The dueling-piano spirit of SHOOTING GHOSTS works because its authors are so committed to transparency, admitting readers into the dark crevices of their isolation."--Wall St Journal Through the unpredictability of war and its aftermath, a decorated Marine sergeant and a world-trotting war photographer became friends, their bond forged as they patrolled together through the dusty alleyways of Helmand province and camped side by side in the desert. But when Sergeant T. J. Brennan was injured during a Taliban ambush, he and conflict photographer Finbarr O’Reilly returned home, each to face the fallout of war in their own way. Their friendship offered them both a shot at redemption. Shooting Ghosts looks at the horrors of war directly, but then turns to a journey that draws on our growing understanding of what recovery takes, charting the ways two survivors have found to calm the ghosts and reclaim a measure of peace.
