Alice Duncan has released several backlist titles in her Daisy Gumm Majesty series, starting with Strong Spirits, currently marked down to 99 cents, followed by Fine Spirits and High Spirits, at the same price, and Hungry Spirits at $2.99. The next title in the series is only up as a hardcover pre-order, so far, but it will be interesting to see if she managed to retain digital rights to it, as well.

Book Description

Welcome to sunny Pasadena, California, just a stone's throw from Hollywood. The twenties are in full roar, Prohibition isn't stopping anybody . . . and Daisy Gumm Majesty is getting by the best way she knows how--catering to the rich and famous as a medium who put the "con" in conjurer.

But a girl's gotta make a living! If there's one thing I've learned in this life it's that most rich people have more money than sense. My career as a "spiritualist" started the day I pretended Aunt Vi's Ouija board was talking to me and everyone believed it, especially Vi's employer, wealthy old Mrs. Kincaid. Some folks may disapprove, but the way I see it, I'm just dishing out hope to people who need it. Is that so wrong?

According to Detective Sam Rotondo, it is--and now he's blackmailed me into spying on the Kincaids for him. I don't know what he hopes to find out. Any fool could see what's going on in that house: who's in love, who's in trouble, and who's in need of a swift kick in the pants. And if Sam weren't the most irritating, hard-headed man this side of the Pacific, why, I'd give him a private reading--and tell him the spirits have a whole lot more in store for him.
