About the author

Standing over six feet tall, USA Today bestselling author Jonathan Moeller has the piercing blue eyes of a Conan of Cimmeria, the bronze-colored hair of a Visigothic warrior-king, and the stern visage of a captain of men, none of which are useful in his career as a computer repairman, alas.

He has written the DEMONSOULED series of sword-and-sorcery novels, and continues to write THE GHOSTS sequence about assassin and spy Caina Amalas, the COMPUTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE series of computer books, and numerous other works. His books have sold over one million copies worldwide.

Reviews

[Tony Hisgett · Rating 3 out of 5]

This short story mainly from Damla’s point of view and makes an interesting change, especially as it really a sort of domestic drama rather than part of the quest to undermine Calatas’s plans.

[Manie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ghosts are quite the apt denomination of this secretive gang led by Diana. But then what would you call a corrupt magistrate taking bribes? More so when that self same magistrate has been earmarked for death in a most painful way?
Author Johnathan Moeller certainly came up with quite the intriguing plot in Ghost Nails....with quite a satisfactory conclusion too.
Enjoy

An enjoyable short story in the Ghost Exile series, this time as told by Damla, mistress of the House of Azygbus and fellow Ghost with Caina. Nice quick read over lunch, with further insights to the characters' and introducing other, lesser characters too

I liked the story. I kind of wish it had been in Caina’s perspective, not Damla’s, but it was still good.

The owner of a coffee shop (long familiar to those who know this series, though she does give the backstory) has a dangerous thing happen in her shop. Caina involves herself, and explains why.
