Magical Musings

We’re excited to have an interview with P. J. Alderman on Thursday. P. J. has lived in the Pacific Northwest for more than twenty-five years. She is the author of A KILLING TIDE, a RITA finalist for Best First Book. After spending several years on Oregon’s North Coast, she now lives in Washington State with her family.

Her second book, HAUNTING JORDAN, available now, is a gripping, richly humorous suspense novel.

Back cover copy for HAUNTING JORDAN

Jordan Marsh left L.A. for the quaint Pacific Northwest town of Port Chatham in pursuit of some much-needed R&R. As the prime suspect in her cheating husband’s murder, she was hoping to immerse herself in the restoration of the charming Victorian she just bought—and put all talk of homicide investigations behind her. But as she soon discovers, the coldest of cases cry out to be solved too.

For this old house comes fully furnished—with two garrulous ghosts, who have a century-old murder of their own they’d like her to look into. Now if Jordan can just keep the L.A. police at bay, and sort through a suspect list of shady wharfside characters circa 1890, she might just clear a wrongly accused man’s name—and her own.

You can read an excerpt here. Bantam Books will publish the second in the Port Chatham Mystery Series in 2010
