Amanda is still haunted by her ex-husband, Charley…literally haunted. He’s stuck between this life and the next, unable to move on, unable to get more than a couple of hundred feet away from Amanda and unwilling to go even that far. She’d like to take a shower without worrying about him peeking, to have a phone conversation without him listening and commenting, to have a date with the hot Detective Jake Daggett. Jake has asked, but a threesome with Charley doesn’t sound like fun. Her new friend Teresa, a professional psychic and medium, may be able to help. However, before she moves Charley on to the next life, she needs his help in contacting her own dead husband to find out who murdered him. His ghost isn’t talking, and if they can’t find his killer, Teresa could go to prison. Amanda would lose not only a friend but also the possibility of getting rid of Charley. The facilities for spiritual progression in prison are limited. While Amanda is trying to help Teresa find her husband’s murderer, a man from Charley’s past shows up with a document signed by Charley giving him possession of Amanda’s motorcycle shop and apartment. Surely Ronald Collins doesn’t really believe he can get away with that, but after he shoots Amanda’s live oak tree and burns her truck, she realizes the man is serious…and psychotic. Amanda just wanted to get rid of her ghost. Now she has a killer, a crazy man, and two ghosts in her life.

Book 5 in Charley's Ghost series When a deadbeat customer becomes obnoxious in Amanda’s motorcycle shop, she grabs a hammer and threatens to bash his head in so far he will be able to see his dirty underwear. Three weeks later the deadbeat is found murdered in her parking lot. Customers from the bar down the street report that Amanda left with him the night of the murder. Strands of Amanda’s red hair are found on the victim. The deadbeat’s ghost accuses her of murdering him. Charley cannot...or will not...provide an alibi. The situation goes downhill from there.

Five bodies in a well. One of them is the brother of a police detective. That man’s ghost is Charley’s new best friend. Amanda is thrilled that Charley can see him. Perhaps this means her ex-husband’s ghost is on his way to the light, to a higher plane, to Oklahoma, to anywhere so long as it’s away from her. But the new ghost isn’t leaving. He has an agenda, and it doesn’t involve finding his killer. Amanda, Charley, Jake, the medium Teresa, and the ghost’s brother Ross must hunt down his murderer before one of them is killed. Charley’s not worried, but the others don’t have his immunity to death.

Amanda was divorcing her lying, cheating husband Charley when he was murdered. Now she’s stuck with his ghost and finds herself entangled in a kidnapping. The younger brother of her assistant, Dawson, has been kidnapped. Strange, though, that Dawson's never mentioned a brother, and when an e-mail arrives demanding a ransom for the boy, it's not the usual large sum of money in unmarked bills they want, it's computer code. WTF? Do the kidnappers really exist? Is Dawson’s brother only an Avatar from one of his computer games? Will Amanda ever get rid of Charley? Will she give up her Coke for a Pepsi? Will Global Warming melt her Magnum Double Chocolate ice cream bar? Okay, you need to test that last question for yourself, but the answers to everything else are in this book!

When Amanda's lying, cheating, scam-artist husband, Charley, saves her life in a near-fatal motorcycle accident, she can almost forgive him for dragging his feet on their divorce. Then she discovers he'd been dead for several hours at the time she thought he rescued her. And not just dead…murdered. On the good side, at least they are no longer married. But she's the primary suspect in Charley's murder and, as if that isn't bad enough, Charley's ghost shows up in her apartment. He was rejected, kicked back, not allowed to go into the light. The situation was bad enough when he was alive and trying to charm his way back into her life, but now he claims to be unable to go more than a few yards away from her. She can't even be certain he isn't peeking when she undresses for bed. Even death did not them part.

The face of 1980s television was shaped by a man who stayed behind the scenes. Stephen Cannell's reluctant white knights--put-upon private eye James Rockford, World War II fly-boys the Black Sheep Squadron, hapless superhero Ralph Hinckley, fugitive mercenaries the A-Team, and maverick cop Hunter--traversed the television landscape from the 1970s to the 1990s. Cannell changed the face of the action-adventure genre, updating the crime-show format with a hybrid of rebellious morality, juvenile wit, intelligent sarcasm, and radical conservatism. This book discusses in detail the programs of the writer-producer and lists every episode of his award-winning productions from the early 1970s to the early '90s. The book features publicity photos and descriptions of unsold pilots.
