Book Description
Every night Kevin would dream the same dream. Each time Kevin dreamt the same dream it seemed to become more and more vivid. It was as though the dream was drawing him closer and closer until he could reach out and touch it. The dream starts with Kevin driving down a road on a stormy night. As his car approached the destination Kevin saw a gate at a cemetery and some devilish-looking man in a cape with blazing red eyes waving him to come in, but Kevin was too scared to enter the gates. As Kevin would push on the gas to speed off his car would stall and the devilish man in the black cape would approach Kevin's car, then Kevin would wake up screaming in horror and sweating profusely. Kevin tried his best before he went to sleep not to read or watch any scary movies on the television so his mind wouldn't be fixated on that horrible dream. Kevin was so scared of his dream that he would leave the light on in his room all night in hopes he could sleep soundly, but that wasn't the case. Kevin told himself the next time that he had this dream he would try to remember more details about the dream and write them down on paper hoping to solve this horrifying puzzle. By doing this might even find the location of the cemetery so he could face this horrifying dream head-on and get his life back to normal. Before Kevin went to bed he drank a glass of wine in hopes this would calm his nerves, so when he was dreaming this horrible dream he would feel not so scared and more in focus of his surroundings. Just before Kevin went to bed he knelt at the side of his bed and said a little prayer before he closed his eyes and started dreaming. Kevin's preparation before the dream started to pay off for him in a big way. After careful analysis of his dream in the morning, Kevin was able to find out the name of the cemetery. The name he was able to come up with was meterion Gates, but Kevin could not make out the other two words because they were partially covered in dirt. There were enough words on the sign to pinpoint the location of the cemetery. The cemetery was located about fifty miles south of where Kevin currently lives. Kevin decided to wait until the next day to search for the cemetery because the weather forecast didn't show a cloud in the sky. Kevin decided since the weather was so nice he wouldn't start his drive until around 3 pm and arrive by 4 pm which gave him four hours to do some investigating before the sun went down. Kevin left the house a little before 3 p.m. because he had to stop by the gas station to get some gas in his car and eat a sandwich on the way to the cemetery. As Kevin was pumping gas in his car he looked up at the sky, closing his eyes and feeling the warmth from the sun on his face. Kevin was so excited he ran into the gas station and got his sandwich and drink. Kevin told the cashier "Man it sure is a beautiful day out, isn't it." The cashier replied "It sure is, but I'm here all night. What a bummer." "Well, I must be going. I want to get an early start before the sun goes down, said Kevin." Kevin got in his car and headed for the Koimeterion Gates to put an end to his horrid dream. Kevin had no idea this dream was about to become a reality and be the last dream he would ever dream again. Kevin wasn't such a perfect guy as his friends all thought he was. He would go to church every Sunday like all the other Christians would but when Monday came his sins would take hold of him. Maybe because he was deep in sin, he was having such a horrible dream. Kevin's car finally pulled up to the Koimeterion Gates which was going to be his final destination and there was no turning back. Just as Kevin's car came to a complete stop the beautiful sky turned grey. Kevin rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe that this beautiful day was turning so gloomy so fast. Kevin said "This can't be happening. There wasn't supposed to be a cloud in the sky." Then it started storming and as Kevin turned his head to the right there stood the devilish man with blazing red eyes wearing a black cape and waving Kevin to come into the cemetery. Kevin closed his eyes and said, "I must be dreaming." As Kevin opened his eyes nothing changed. The devilish man in the black cape was now at the driver's side window of his car. Kevin slowly turned his head to the left and he wet his pants and his heart was pounding out of his chest. The devilish man was pointing at the sign on the cemetery gate laughing.

Book Description
Set in the dream factory of the 1940s, this glittering debut novel follows a young Hollywood hopeful into a star-studded web of scandal, celebrity, and murder . . . The chipped pink nail polish is a dead giveaway—no pun intended. When a human thumb is discovered near a Hollywood nightclub, it doesn’t take long for the police to identify its owner. Miss Penny Harp would recognize that pink anywhere: it belongs to her best friend, Rosemary. And so does the rest of the body buried beneath it. Rosemary, with the beauty and talent, who stood out from all other extras on the Paramount lot. She was the one whose name was destined for a movie marquee—not for the obituaries. And for an extra twist, now an LAPD detective thinks Penny is the one who killed her . . . Penny is determined to prove her innocence—with a little help from an unlikely ally, the world-famous queen of film noir, Barbara Stanwyck. Penny met “Stany” on the set of Paramount’s classic comedy The Lady Eve, where the star took an instant liking to her. With Stany’s powerful connections and no-nonsense style, she has no trouble following clues out of the studio backlot, from the Los Angeles morgue to the Zanzibar Room to the dark, winding streets of Beverly Hills. But there’s something Penny isn’t telling her famous partner in crimesolving: a not-so-glamorous secret that could lead them to Rosemary’s killer—or send Penny to the electric chair . . . “Suzanne Gates hits the sweet spot at the corner of literary and genre with her exquisite writing. . . . A captivating story of star-struck dreams and redemption.” --Lissa Price, Internationally Bestselling Author of the Starters series
