Other Books By Dusty Rainbolt
Death Under the Crescent Moon
The Baker Hospital and Health Resort is a luxury cancer hospital. But before Norman Baker purchased it, the defunct Crescent Hotel/Crescent College for Girls had provided opulent lodging for the rich seeking the healing waters of Eureka Springs and an education for their privileged daughters.
Soon after retired silent-screen sta, Eva Dupree learns that she might be terminal, she travels to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, with her dead husband’s cat and her personal maid, Rose. When Eva starts to hear and see strange things, she can’t be sure whether it’s the effects of Baker’s unorthodox “cure” or her disease.
Of course, it could be that the place is entirely filled with ghosts, and not all of them are nice — much less harmless.
What they’re saying about Death Under the Crescent Moon
Death Under the Crescent Moon delivers on all levels: interesting, relatable characters, a vivid recreation of 1930s America on the brink of war, and bone-chilling suspense. ~ Julia S. Mandala, author of House of Doors
“Ghostly doings and poignant puzzles haunt feisty silent film star Eva Dupree when she resides at a famed Ozark mountain sanitarium with her maid and companion cat. Eva must confront both lost and evil spirits to uncover the answers to the hospital’s many riddles and save her own life. Lively writing and the well-researched 1939 setting (at a genuine historically haunted site) make for a fun and spooky paranormal mystery.” ~ Carole Nelson Douglas, author of the Delilah Street Paranormal Mystery Series
“There’s a moment toward the end of Dusty Rainbolt’s Death Under the Crescent Moon that is worth the price of admission all by its lonesome. In that instant, Rainbolt takes the clichés of the haunted hotel mystery and neatly dumps them on their head. It’s masterfully done, and, without spoiling it, it manages the rare trick of being shocking at the moment while being completely logical in hindsight.” ~ Richard Dansky, The Green Man Review

All the Marbles
Chandra was having a bad day anyway, but then that cat…
Starts with a galactic Ma Bell and the equivalent of the Wichita Lineman on the run from thugs demanding an object Chandra’s never even heard of, then throw in space pirates who steal party supplies, a cat who’s even more a law unto himself than most felines, and oddball planets where the inhabitants have deified Fifties TV sitcom characters or the drunks in the gutter at night are lawyers in court by day. It all adds to make All the Marbles a highly entertaining ride. ~ Lee Killough, author of Wilding Nights
If you’ve missed Douglas Adams, you’ll laugh with relief when you read All the Marbles. ~ Selina Rosen, author of Queen of Denial and Recycled
Rainbolt taps into the heart of science fiction; all that can be imagined is possible. All the Marbles is fast paced, outrageous, and of a cosmic scale. Rainbolt will take you on a trip far from home, a trip well worth taking. ~ Gary Moreau, author of Almost Human
Crossing screwball comedy with space opera, Dusty Rainbolt’s All The Marbles is a fast, funny take on far-future shenanigans and some eternal verities, like corporate monopolies and human idiocy. Readers will love this wild space chase after a mysteriously valuable object through galaxies far, far away with spunky heroine Chandra Solomon, a large cast of oddballs along for the ride, and Ivan the top-dog cat. ~ Carole Nelson Douglas, author of Cat in a Neon Nightmare
