The Conman by Mike Murphey

Conor Nash has lived his life with a single purpose—to pitch in the Major Leagues. He’s been released from professional baseball contracts ten times over a sixteen-year career, but he’s overcome every obstacle to finally reach The Show when he’s a decade too old. 

​As he faces the specter of injury-forced retirement, he becomes a man neither he nor his wife recognizes. During his career, Conor avoided the trap of alcohol and drugs because his drug was baseball. And what can an addict do when he realizes he will never get that high again? 

​Conor climbs treacherous Camelback Mountain, drinks a bottle of Champagne, recalls people and events, and seeks an answer. Who is Conor Nash if he can’t pitch?

The Ghost on Firefly Lane by Pamela McCord

A heartbroken ghost searches in vain for her baby. Pekin Dewlap and her best friends Scout and Amber are hired to help her spirit go into the light by the kindhearted homeowners who've grown fond of the crying ghost. The teens move into the house while their clients are on a cruise, and their first order of business is to find out the ghost's identity. A neighbor is able to provide the name of the house's last owner, and the story of how his wife died in childbirth. Now, armed with the ghost's name, along with those of her husband and baby daughter, it's time to set the ghost free.

However, it isn't as easy as the kids expect. First, Lily the ghost doesn't seem to be aware of their presence, and when she finally "sees" them, she becomes angry and destructive. The Ghosties track down Lily's husband and daughter to ask for their help, but much to their surprise, their invitation is met with hostility. The father has secrets of his own that he must protect.

If Pekin and her friends can't convince the father to help them, they may never be able to set Lily free, and send her into the light.
