Early ReviewersPhil Giunta

While haunted by visions of her brother's suicide, psychic-medium Miranda Lorensen is called to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to investigate a series of bizarre deaths--some of which are also suicides. Miranda and her team of paranormal investigators quickly find themselves confronted by a vengeful spirit awakened thirty-three years after a bloody family tragedy. Miranda realizes that only she can stop the entity before it claims its final victims, but will her obsession for saving lives redeem her for the brother she failed?

Daniel Masenda thought he had made peace with his dark past when he left his home for a better life fourteen years ago. As the mayor of a small, tranquil town along Virginia's Eastern Shore, Daniel has everything he ever wanted - until a series of haunting visions, coupled with the death of his estranged mother, pits him against two ghostly entities at war with one another. Each has its own agenda as they force Daniel to relive moments from his violent youth and push him to the edge of insanity. As his idyllic life begins to unravel, will he be able to decipher the message behind the hauntings before they destroy, not only him, but the soul of someone he left behind?

Ghosts, Vampires, and American History... Firebringer Take Two combines Steven H. Wilson's vampire tale, FREEDOM'S BLOOD with Phil Giunta's paranormal mystery, LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTERS in the spirit of the classic ACE double novel (read one story, flip the book over and read the other). In LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTERS, fans and new readers will see the return of psychic-medium single mom Miranda Lorensen from Phil's previous novels (Testing the Prisoner and By Your Side)... and this time, she's bringing her daughter. After her lover is found murdered during a paranormal investigation, Andrea Lorensen is determined to find the killer--with some help from her lover's ghost. Meanwhile, her mother Miranda travels to Salem, Massachusetts where she reunites with the gentle spirit of a young woman executed for witchcraft in 1692. This time, however, the encounter reveals an astonishing truth about Miranda's past life--a truth that could kill her. But wait! There's more! You're a vampire, but you have an unyielding belief in the sanctity of the individual's rights. How do you survive, if you can't take blood without permission? And what do you do when someone offers you his blood... with strings attached? This humorous tale explores the ethics of being a vampire--or even just a creature that's gotta eat--against the background of a developing America. Starting out in Colonial Maryland and carrying on through the 21st Century, FREEDOM'S BLOOD will perhaps amuse, perhaps enrage, and will certainly introduce you to a vampire like none you've ever encountered. "A two-tale treat for fans of things that go bump in the night -- starting with an appetizer about a vampire gnawing on an ethical dilemma, seasoned with macabre wit; and then serving a multi-course, multi-generational entree of ghostly mystery. So sit down, if you dare, to a supernatural double helping, but be forewarned: If you tend to read home alone after twilight, do so at your peril. "-- Howard Weinstein, New York Times bestselling author of Galloway's Gamble "A triumph of a story putting a delightful spin on vampire myths. Witticism from the main character keeps the reader engaged to find out where he will go or what will happen next. I feel I want to pluck this character out of the story and journey with him as long as I'm not his next entrée. A sequel to this vampire is a must. Steven Wilson can add me as a fan of his work." -- Dawn Sooy, author of From the Darkness
