All Things Unusual

All Things Unusual by Sara Merrick represented by the Jill Grosjean Literary Agency

Lulu Abrams longs for a fresh start, so it’s a comeuppance when her engagement ends and she returns home to the isolation of life in Savannah. Caught between her father; a notorious local writer jealously obsessed with the success of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and her larger-than-life entrepreneurial aunt, Lulu struggles to define her future.

Temporarily settling for a job as tour guide for her aunt’s company, Miss Eugenia’s Ghost Tours of Savannah, Lulu discovers some things have changed in the historic district during her absence; a renegade tour company is threatening Aunt Gin’s business and she needs her niece’s help.

Lulu’s first heartbreak, attorney Nate Evans, has come home, too, just in time to catch her at her lowest point, being sued by her ex-fiancé and driving a pink tour hearse dressed like Bela Lugosi’s great-granddaughter.

Can hoodoo-induced Spirits of pop culture celebrities, and the real ghosts of Savannah, teach Lulu to stand up to her personal ghosts? Mystery, magic, and a chance to reinvent herself arrive when Mama Etta’s House of Hoodoo and All Things Unusual opens in Savannah — a city built on its dead.
