Because everyone—and everything—needs a break from the routine, Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner offer postcards from the edge of the paranormal world...

It really can be an endless summer—if you’re immortal. Though a vampire would be ill-advised to take a cruise to Bermuda, the possibilities for getting away from it all—and maybe snacking on some unsuspecting tourist—are many...

With thirteen tales—including a weekend getaway in Mississippi for Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire friend Pam—Harris and Kelner bring together a stellar collection of tour guides who offer vacations frightening, funny, and touching...for the fanged, the furry, the demonic, and the grotesque.

Jeff Abbott is the international-bestselling, award-winning author of ten mystery and suspense novels. Jeff’s novels have been called “exciting, shrewd, and beautifully crafted” (Chicago Tribune), “fresh, original… intricately woven” (Publishers Weekly), “nail-bitingly suspenseful and totally original” (Irish Independent) and “excellent” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel). He is published in twenty languages and has been a bestseller in the US, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Australia, Portugal, and other countries.

Jeff is a three-time nominee for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allan Poe Award and a two-time nominee for the Anthony Award, given at Bouchercon (aka the World Mystery Conference.) His novel Panic was also been nominated for Best Novel for the Thriller Award. All of Jeff’s Whit Mosley suspense novels have been honored with nominations for major writing awards: A Kiss Gone Bad was short-listed for the Anthony Award; Black Jack Point was nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, and Barry Awards; and Cut and Run was nominated for the Edgar Award. Jeff’s first novel, Do Unto Others, won both the Agatha Award and the Macavity Award for Best First Novel. His other books include The Only Good Yankee, Promises of Home, and Distant Blood.

Jeff’s short stories have been anthologized in collections such as Best American Mystery Stories and The World’s Finest Crime and Mystery Stories.

His novels Panic and Collision have been optioned for film and are in script development.

He graduated from Rice University with a degree in History and English, and worked as a creative director at an advertising agency before writing full-time. He lives in Austin with his wife and two sons.
