The Day of the Dead is a sweet celebration…until a real ghost starts getting salty.As the town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, prepares to jump on the Day of the Dead bandwagon, Skye O’Malley reluctantly agrees to use her coffee shop kitchen to make several batches of sugar skulls for the celebration…all the while wondering if it’s such a great idea to stir up the local ghosts for fun and profit.When a large mural at the downtown park where the festival is to take place is defaced, Skye is asked to use her psychic abilities to divine who—or what—is the culprit. She encounters the restless, angry ghost of a young woman whose murderer was never caught.Investigating this cold case is tougher than usual, because Skye now wears her superstar boyfriend Max Sullivan’s engagement ring—and the paparazzi are underfoot at every turn. Overwhelmed but determined, Skye calls on all her resources, psychic and otherwise, to find the key to solving this decades-old mystery. Before an angry ghost wreaks havoc—and a killer escapes justice.

A native of Southern California, Christine Pope has been writing stories ever since she commandeered her family’s Smith-Corona typewriter back in the sixth grade. Many reams of dead trees later, she’s happy to announce that her debut novel, Fringe Benefits,was published by Pink Petal Books on April 8, 2010. Her short fiction has appeared in Astonishing Adventures, Luna Station Quarterly, and the new journal of dark fiction, Dark Valentine. Her paranormal novella, Playing With Fire, was released on August 5, 2010. While Fringe Benefits is a straight contemporary romance, she writes in a variety of genres, including paranormal romance, fantasy, horror, science fiction, and historical romance. She blames this on being easily distracted by bright, shiny objects, which could also account for the size of her shoe collection. After spending many years in the magazine publishing industry, she now works as a freelance editor in addition to writing fiction. She lives with her husband and an explosively fluffy Pomeranian mix. Her house is pink, but don’t hold that against her.
