Book Description
Maine folklore is rich in tales of humans confronted by strange beasts, both wonderful and terrifying. The Abenaki, or "First People" had their tales of Glooskap and Pamola. Other tales came with European settlers; and others sprang up almost out of nothing around the fires of the logging camps. Based on meticulous research into these tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a field guide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. While the tales are whimsical and fun, they can also be considered as serious scholarship. The entries have been peer reviewed by notable experts in the fields of folklore, anthropology, Native studies, and cryptozoology.

Book Description
“Mistaken identity turns into matchmaking from the grave when New Yorker, Brook Mills, inherits a stranger’s world in Maine and tangles in more than just business with her handsome co-owner.” *** Of all the things a girl could inherit, a seafood factory in Maine is the least dreamy. But when Brooklyn Mills arrives in Quahog Cove to learn about the deceased stranger who gifted her his world, mistaken identity becomes a happy accident. Her hunky co-owner, Owen Bennett, is the kind of guy she could fall in love with in a New York minute back home. Here on vacation, he could be…well…a lovely no-strings diversion if Brook can talk him out of strictly business. Owen wants to run operations as he’s always done–alone, with no distractions. He doesn’t need a partner of any kind, especially not a gorgeous, smart-witted New Yorker–a woman he could easily lose himself in. 'Don’t get emotionally invested in anyone passing through' is number one in his relationship playbook. He’s holding out for the one-in-a-billion woman who’ll choose a life with him in Quahog Cove over everything else. Yet with chemistry like this buzzing between him and Brook, what’s the harm in tangling a teensy bit while they unriddle why his late boss brought them together? An inconvenient side effect of a little matchmaking from the grave messes up their no-feelings plan. Brook and Owen are the leads in a love story already written. They can’t outrun their fate, nor does Brook want to. She lost her family a long time ago and as Maine unravels their secrets, the possibility of finding love and family again has her falling hard for the full Owen package. The only snag: while ever Manhattan and Maine are worlds apart in every way, Owen can only be her 'for now' guy --- unless she can find a way to become Brook of Mainehattan forever. ***

Book Description
Be careful what you wish for. The children of the gods, creatures hidden within this world, have claimed my family one by one. Trolls, goblins, mermaids, and other beings crave humans like me. Only in my home am I truly safe. Yet, I would give anything to escape that isolated existence. Anything but my life. When a spell steals Ashlyn’s voice and rips her from home, she finds herself in a labyrinth of dark rooms where she’s forced to play a dangerous game of hide-and-seek with creatures that hunt the shadows. However, in her determination to discover where she is and how to get out, she accidentally wakes one. He’s devastatingly hot, yet dangerously unstable, and bent on claiming her for his own. And he’s more powerful than any creature she’s ever encountered. In his rage, he can set the ground shaking. But he also protects her, feeds her, and cares for her. She doesn’t know what kind of monster he is, but she knows she’ll need to resist his siren spell and find a way out of the darkness alive if she ever wants to see home again.
