    About this ebook

    Zoë's pulled by Rhonda to the Phoenix & Dragon for a Winter Solstice blessing around the mystery hole in the basement of the store. But that's not where Zoë's head's at. She's more worried about Detective Daniel Frasier and whether he'll wake from his coma. And about Dags McConnell, who mysteriously disappeared from the same hospital after helping she and Rhonda with Shadow People a week earlier. In essence, Zoë's given up hope of ever having a normal life. But it's the store ghosts and a box of bears that turn her around. 

    This short story was written as a promo for the Phoenix & Dragon in Atlanta, Georgia. The ghosts mentioned in the story are real, and have been witnessed by both customers, workers, and the owner of the store, Candace Apple. The hole in the basement is real, and to this day, remains a mystery.

      A Zoe Martinique Yule Short

      Phaedra Weldon

      Caldwell Press

      Where this one fits

      This is a Yule short story that takes place after Out of the Dark and before Spectre. This short was originally written to help advertise a local shop called Phoenix & Dragon. If you’re ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend stopping by!

      HOLLY & IVY

      I never really understood Christmas, or Yule, or Kwanza or Hanukkah—pick one. Not until that December 21, after becoming a Wraith. Before then, like most, I thought it was all about the presents. I never considered there were deeper meanings to all the merchandising.

      Like faith, hope, and good tidings. All that commercial stuff. Mushy stuff.

      At that point, I'd pretty much chucked hope and the future down the toilet—I had no idea where I was going. Or what I was going to do with the rest of my life.

      My name is Zoë Martinique, and I'm a Wraith. Don't know what that is? Ha. Neither do I. What I do know is that I can move out of my body at will, I can somehow touch Ghosts and help them move on to whatever comes next, and I have a stalker from the Abysmal Plane who, coincidentally, has my voice. I'm mute, with no medical explanation, and the man I love, Daniel, is in a coma in a hospital several miles away.

      Another man who'd wiggled his way into my life by exposing himself to me—literally—had vanished from the same hospital over a week ago. A bartender with a gift of light. He died...briefly. And somehow...I felt responsible for bringing him back.

      Dags McConnell.

      What did these two innocent men have in common?

      Moi.

      Mental Note: I should have a warning label tattooed on
