It was a truth universally ignored, most principally by the dowager Dame Hartwell, that ghosts and gatherings did not mix.

In this short story, the fashionable and eccentric dowager Dame Hartwell has lured the reclusive Miss Tessa Preston to attend her drawing room séance. If Dame Hartwell can't convince Miss Preston, her former protégé, to return as her medium-in-residence, she doesn't know how she will protect her son and his new fiancée from the brewing storm of malcontent spirits surrounding them.


MISS PRESTON'S PREDICAMENT is a short story between novels. It is a standalone referencing characters and events from the cozy Victorian fantasy romance, HAUNTING MISS TRENTWOOD, the first in the Hesitant Mediums series.
