Each July, visitors to Gettysburg glimpse a bloodstained figure. Ann Kinnear expects a restless Civil War spirit. What she finds instead is a story of duty, loss, and the guilt that has bound one soul to the battlefield.

When Ann Kinnear visits Gettysburg to investigate reports of a ghostly figure haunting a historic farmhouse on the battlefield, she expects the usual quiet communion with the departed. But on a scorching July afternoon, she slips into a vivid vision of 1863—one so complete she finds herself inside the farmhouse as it once was, face-to-face with an old man and young woman preparing for their roles in the fight to come.

Ann quickly realizes she’s witnessing the hours before tragedy will strike. Torn between her role as an observer and every instinct urging her to intervene, Ann must decide how much of the past she’s willing to confront … and what price might be paid in the present.

A gripping, time-bending mystery about devotion, regret, and the echoes that refuse to fade, \"These Hot Days\" uncovers the human heart behind one of America’s most haunted places.

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, beginning with THE SENSE OF DEATH, and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.

Twelve months. Twelve encounters. One woman who can sense what others cannot.

This collection of twelve Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts tracks a year's worth of Ann's interactions with the dead--one for each month of the year. From winter cold to summer heat, from holiday gatherings to ordinary days gone wrong, Ann navigates engagements that range from quietly tragic to unexpectedly wry. Some encounters are rooted in loss, others in deception or desperation, and a few carry a dark sense of humor—but all reveal something about the cost of knowing more than most people would want to.

A YEAR OF KINNEAR is ideal for readers who enjoy suspense grounded in atmosphere and character. Dip in at any point, or follow the year straight through. Either way, these stories will stay with you long after the month has passed.

For her first Christmas Eve in the Curragh, Ann Kinnear expects nothing more supernatural than bourbon-spiked eggnog and a cozy night with family. But when a thoughtful gift leads her to revisit the vintage Stinson aircraft she has fallen in love with, it's not the quiet night she expected.

Inside the dim hangar of Avondale Airport, Ann encounters a figure no ordinary visitor could see: the Stinson’s late owner, whose devotion to the plane didn’t end with his death. With the Stinson due to be sold off for parts, his message is clear: the aircraft’s fate hangs in the balance, and only Ann can save it.

With its atmospheric setting and quiet tension, \"Wondering Eyes\" offers readers the hallmarks of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts: a brush with the unknown, a puzzle rooted in the past, and a heroine for whom doing the right thing sometimes means listening to the dead.

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.

In an almost-deserted condo complex overlooking the wintry Atlantic, some secrets are stored away just as carefully as the summer deck chairs—until Ann Kinnear arrives.

Hired for what should be a straightforward speaking engagement at a writer’s conference, Ann is soon drawn into a tangle of ambitions, grudges, and dangerous bargains. An author desperate to break free of a suffocating publishing contract, a calculating editor juggling clients and agendas, and a shadowy figure slipping in and out of a thirteenth-floor unit all become part of a web Ann can’t ignore—especially when her unique ability starts picking up threads no one else can perceive.

As icy winds rattle the condo’s walkways and the off-season streets grow darker, Ann must decide whom to trust in a community where every favor comes with strings, and where the next knock at the door could bring a breakthrough … or a one-way descent.

For readers who love atmospheric settings, amateur sleuths with an extraordinary edge, tangled motives, and slow-burn suspense that builds toward a deadly confrontation, BE WITH THE DEAD blends the eerie isolation of a winter beach town with the pulse-pounding stakes of a narrow ledge negotiation, where a single misstep could be the last step Ann takes.

When a body is found at Lynch and Son Winery, no one suspects foul play. But then a second death occurs, and it seems that Ann Kinnear has stepped into the middle of a family feud turned fatal. Can Ann root out the evil or will her plan to move into the winery’s guest house bear deadly fruit?

Spirit senser Ann Kinnear is juggling a long-distance relationship and continuing her search for a place to call home. She thinks she has found the solution to both when she learns that her favorite Chester County, Pennsylvania winery has a guest house for rent.

When the body of the terminally ill head of the winery is found on the grounds, Ann assumes that the torch will pass to the next generation ... but the terms of the will leave a sour taste in the mouth of some family members. Does that explain the patriarch’s daughter’s clandestine trips to a grand but derelict home in Philadelphia, tended by a mysterious man in Victorian garb? The woman's husband secretly asks Ann’s brother Mike to investigate.

Then a second body is found in a watery grave, and it seems that both deaths may have been murder.

Ann Kinnear thinks that her midnight visit to a shuttered Maine hotel with a haunted past is simply a favor for a friend ... until she finds that more than secrets are buried there. Will Ann be able to unlock the secrets hidden within those walls, or will she succumb to an eternity trapped there herself?

After solving the Philadelphia Socialite murder, Ann Kinnear should be riding high. Instead, she's depressed and considering abandoning her spirit sensing business. To add to her problems, she has suffered a series of injuries to her hands—could these be the ghostly repercussions of the violence that ended her last case?

Ann goes to Maine to solicit help from fellow spirit senser Garrick Masser. Ann and Garrick find more trouble than they bargained for in a tale of obsession and misplaced loyalty that has its roots in a crumbling summer hotel, international art theft, and the historic wildfire that raged across Mount Desert Island in 1947.

Will Ann be able to fit together the pieces of the puzzle, or will she miss the vital piece ... and its warning of the danger that lies in wait?

When Ann Kinnear returns to her childhood home for a Thanksgiving Eve party, she expects nostalgia—not revelation. But when a flicker of light and a barely heard sound draw her to a darkened room, she discovers a presence that has nothing to do with her own history—and everything to do with the lives of the home’s new owners.

As memories and emotions surface in the place where her gift first revealed itself, Ann is confronted with the unsettling blur between presence and absence, between the living and the dead. What she discovers in the shadowed room above the party challenges her understanding of grief, connection, and the fragile heartbeat of hope.

Blending atmosphere with deep emotional tension, \"Ever Thanks\" explores the haunting persistence of love and loss—and how the echoes of what once was can illuminate what comes next.

Halloween should be all about costumes, candy, and pranks—but for Ann Kinnear, the real tricks are waiting in the dark.

When classic car collector Russell Caldwell hires Ann to look into a string of increasingly unsettling pranks, it’s clear he doesn’t put much stock in her supposed ability to connect with the spirit world. Ann suspects bored teenagers, but it’s a paying job, and she steels herself for a long night in the cold garage at the back of Russell's property.

What she finds instead is that the line between trick and threat—and between the living and the dead—can be perilously thin.

\"More Than a Jest\" is perfect for readers who enjoy paranormal mystery, supernatural suspense, and eerie tales with a Halloween twist. Fans of Simone St. James and Barbara Michaels will savor this clever, unsettling addition to the Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts.

Ann Kinnear is no stranger to helping the living find peace with the dead—but a commission on a remote Maine island brings her into far more treacherous waters than she expects.

Her task: deliver a husband’s urgent message to his late wife, celebrated artist Allison Niedermeier. But in the solitude of Mizzen Island—where waves crash against the shore, secrets linger in the shadows, and grief has twisted into something darker—Ann soon realizes that the truth is far murkier than the story she has been told.

When messages from beyond begin to surface in ways both eerie and undeniable, Ann must uncover what really happened on the night Allison disappeared … and decide how far she is willing to go to protect the living from the fallout of the dead.

NOTE: This short story was written for an anthology that encouraged profanity. You have been forewarned. : )

In addition to the ebook edition and pdf, you will receive the audiobook performance by the wonderful Aaron Fors.

Ann Kinnear has dealt with plenty of unsettled spirits, but this may be her first gig with a ghost who demands a spotlight.

When a scrappy cover band hires Ann to make contact with their late drummer, she finds herself in a dive bar where the décor is questionable, the egos are outsized, and the supernatural stage effects are way too real. From levitating instruments to unsolicited fashion critiques, Lucian the drummer isn’t content to fade quietly into the afterlife—he’s ready to headline.

What begins as a séance with a backbeat spirals into a riot of insults and pyrotechnics. And as the tension builds, Ann has to wonder: is she keeping the peace between the living and the dead, or just managing the worst band breakup in history.

With its sharp mix of supernatural thrills and laugh-out-loud banter, Stage of Fools proves that sometimes death really is the ultimate gig.

For Ann Kinnear, an all-expenses-paid cruise should have been the perfect working vacation—until she learns her assignment is to confront the lingering echoes of two passengers who jumped to their deaths from the very stateroom she now occupies.

As storm winds buffet the ship and darkness presses close on the open sea, Ann discovers that not every haunting is about sorrow. Some spirits bring with them a suffocating despair, manipulative charm, and a terrifying insistence that the living join them. Trapped between relentless waves and a ghost with unfinished business, Ann must summon every ounce of courage to resist being pulled into a deadly chain of obsession and self-destruction.

With its atmospheric setting aboard a luxury liner turned claustrophobic prison, Sea of Troubles delivers supernatural menace, psychological tension, and the dread of being isolated with forces far stronger than the sea itself.

Perfect for readers who love suspense steeped in gothic isolation, ghostly encounters, and the unnerving sense that a single wrong step could prove fatal.

When Ann Kinnear agrees to help a grieving widow find closure at the site of a ballroom dance class turned crime scene, she expects the familiar weight of sorrow. What she doesn’t expect is the sinister presence that still lingers in the shattered studio.

As Latin music echoes across the empty floorboards and memories of the massacre seep through every mirror shard and bloodstain, Ann confronts more than one restless spirit—some yearning for love, others for vengeance. With danger pressing in from both the living and the dead, she must summon her courage to navigate a waltz of grief, obsession, and rage.

Set against the eerie backdrop of the so-called Dance Hall Massacre, \"Our Dancing Days\" entwines psychological tension, supernatural menace, and the claustrophobic dread of a haunted space that refuses to give up its secrets.

Perfect for fans of dark suspense, gothic atmosphere, and supernatural thrillers, this Ann Kinnear short pulls you into a story of love lost, promises broken, and spirits who will not rest.

Childhood memories flood Ann Kinnear as she enters St. Andrew's on the night before Easter. But this time, she's a hired hand with a mysterious assignment. When she learns what that assignment is, she's pretty sure she's not the person ordained for the job--but she finds her shaky confidence in human nature bolstered by the tale that unfolds against a backdrop of misplaced guilt and the true meaning of faithfulness.

If you are an author who is thinking of launching a podcast ... if you are an author who has started a podcast and is struggling to keep it afloat ... if you are an author on the brink of \"podfading\" and losing the hard-won benefits you can gain from this popular and intimate format -- then this book is for you.

Matty Dalrymple, The Indy Author, shares her learnings from her years hosting and producing The Indy Author Podcast. Tapping nautical metaphors to explore the stages of creating a podcast, THE INDY AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO PODCASTING FOR AUTHORS will guide you through determining your destination, preparing for your voyage, and setting sail. Matty discusses the benefits podcasting offers to authors specifically, and the specific challenges authors might need to overcome to succeed in this medium.

Questions posed at the end of each chapter prompt insights to be captured in your own Captain's Log, enabling you to note progress, acknowledge mistakes, and celebrate successes on your voyage.

This is not merely a manual of technical requirements, although those are covered at a high level in the book and in more detail at The Indy Author website. This is a foundational resource you can pick up again and again, one that will serve as your guide as you steer your podcast through its voyage and, when a course correction is needed, will provide the strategies and tactics you need to adjust your bearing.
