Press release
New novel "The Victorian Locket" by Elefair King is released, a cozy mystery that explores the haunted history of Galveston, Texas
In the haze of grief, she copes with the strange happenings in her 120-year old Victorian home until one day, while playing with her cat Priscilla Kay, she discovers a secret compartment containing a locket, and the resulting supernatural experiences change the course of her life forever. Somewhere between terrified and fascinated, Sam turns to what she knows best: historical research. Soon she's uncovering secrets from Galveston's tragic past, hunting for details about a possible murder more than a century ago, and learning just how haunted (and haunting) her home on the Gulf truly is.
Written with impeccable detail and deep research about Galveston and the surrounding area, the novel is both an exciting tale of disturbing spirits and an exploration of the real secrets of Galveston. From bouts of violence that have plagued Galveston for centuries to the tragedy and destruction of the Great Storm of 1900, King brings history to life through the same diligence for research that drives her protagonist.
The novel examines Galveston's dark past while also celebrating the resilience of its people, and invites readers into a spooky, mysterious world of spirits, secrets, and shocking discoveries.
Beginning as a personal research project into Galveston's past and blossoming into a rich narrative that combines poignant storytelling and rich history, Elefair King's excellent novel is informative, entertaining, and endlessly thought-provoking.
The Victorian Locket (ISBN: 9781966074175 / 9781963844351) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The hardcover retails for $26.99, the paperback retails for $18.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request.

From the back cover:
Sarah Anne Law, affectionately known to family and friends as Sam, was playing the stalking game with her can when she inadvertently discovered a secret compartment in her haunted Victorian home. Not only did Sam find a hidden treasure, but she also realized that their playful game aroused a long dormant spirit. Perhaps the newly awakened spirit and one of the more disturbing hauntings in her beautiful home were connected. Did a murder occur? As Sam followed clues to unravel the 125-year-old mysteries, she unveiled the true horrors of Galveston's deadly and gruesome past.
