Communication Breakdown: Uncollected Anthology, #13

By Dayle A. Dermatis

Former Hollywood party girl Nikki Ashburne sees ghosts—in fact, many of them are her friends. Okay, they’re kind of her only friends.

So when the ghost of a 70s British rock god asks her for help finding a song he wrote for his favorite groupie…well, c’mon. What’s a girl to do but say yes?

Only one problem: Nikki’s rift with her musician brother, Ned, over the spectral secret she’s been keeping from him…

Another story in the popular Ghosted urban fantasy series featuring Nikki Ashburne. Come for the ghosts. Stay for the snark.

“Communication Breakdown" is part of Uncollected Anthology, Volume 13: Mystical Melodies.

“One of the best writers working today.”
—USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith
