Beloved Dead

by Embe Charpentier

Overview

For two hundred years, Cage Aldrich has haunted Charleston, searching for a new body with one intent: revenge on the hag who tortured him, then buried him beneath the waves. For two hundred years, Genevieve Vetivier has never regretted sending Cage to his death. She looks ageless - for she possesses beauty fashioned by unspeakable evil. For two months, Imogen Mortensen, an art student, has carved wood into a master work: a classical male statue. It's proof of her talent. It's Cage's only hope. Will avenging his death cost Cage an opportunity at a first love and a second life at life? His soul, and an innocent girl's future hang in the balance. Beloved Dead journeys into the rich legends of Charleston, South Carolina. Haints, hags, and plat-eyes? The paranormal myths of the Deep South - revived.

About the Author

Embe Charpentier has written all her life, but only for publication since 2014. In 2015, her shorter works have been published nine times in online and print magazines such as "LitroNY", "Science Fiction Romance Quarterly", and "Gambling the Aisle".

Embe's interest in Southern folklore began almost immediately upon moving to Georgia in 2001. On a trip to Savannah, she heard the legend of "haint blue". The lovely shade of light teal- has long been painted on porches in the Carolina/ Georgia Low Country to keep the ghosts away. After investigating the expression, "Don't let the hag ride ya," Beloved Dead became as inevitable as a full moon rising.

Embe is married, has three children and two grandchildren. She teaches English as a Second Language in a public school in suburban Atlanta. She finds joy in mentoring young writers.
