Charleston, South Carolina is a real place. Some of the landmarks and a few of the historical figures in this book do exist, and some (but not all) of the historical events were real. But the characters and their shops are all a work of fiction. So for example, if you go to Charleston (and I hope you do, because it’s a lovely place to visit), you can see the real Charleston City Market and walk down King Street, but you won’t find any of the businesses or restaurants I’ve mentioned by name. Any resemblance to real people or actual businesses is completely coincidental.
Many people in Charleston will tell you that the ghosts, however, are real. My ghosts are fictional, but that’s because Charleston has enough of its own already. But don’t take my word for it. See for yourself.
I hope you enjoyed the adventures with Cassidy, Teag, and Sorren. If you want more, check out more Deadly Curiosities Adventures collected in Trifles and Folly, Trifles and Folly 2, as well as the full-length novels, Deadly Curiosities and Vendetta, available in paperback and e-book. Cassidy has more short stories and novellas coming!

Thank you for supporting independent authors!
This book was written and published by an independent author. Independent authors work outside the large, traditional publishing industry, which means we can be more responsive to our fans and readers, bringing you more of the kinds of stories you want to read.
When you support independent authors, you’re helping them make a living, providing an income for their families, and helping to guarantee that they can continue writing the books you enjoy reading.
By helping spread the word about the books and authors you enjoy, either in reviews on sites like Amazon and Goodreads or by personal recommendation, you help others discover these books for themselves, and you help make it possible for the writers you enjoy to keep on writing. This is especially important for independent authors, because we don’t have a big name publisher promoting our books or the benefit of being shelved in bookstores.
If you’ve enjoyed this book, or other books by independent authors, the biggest way to show your thanks is by reviewing online and spreading the word. And please, never download ‘free’ books off pirate sites. Doing so harms the author by robbing him or her of the sale, and makes it harder for authors to stay in business, writing the books you love.
Thank you for reading!
