Ghosts Galore
Let me get this straight. You’re making a programme about haunted houses and you don’t believe in ghosts?
Cash-strapped artist Adam Price is the owner of Greystones Hall, an ancient manor house he shares with a plethora of ghosts. He adores the place, but life is a constant battle to pay the bills and he’s lonely, too, following the death of his beloved grandfather two years earlier.
Lonely, that is, until the Ghosts Galore crew offer to film an episode at Greystones Hall. Adam’s a bit dubious about letting them loose in his home, but allows himself to be persuaded by the fee they’ll be paying him. Led by handsome producer Carl, dotty medium Stella and pleasant-but-nondescript historian Guy, they fill the house with wiring, cameras, lights and people. But when filming starts, things soon go wrong. The crew turn out to be using dodgy tricks. Carl refuses to believe in ghosts in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. And Stella stirs up a new and malevolent spirit, more dangerous than any that have been known at Greystones Hall before, who seems to have a violent dislike of Adam’s art.
As Carl and Stella disappear and the local vicar is powerless to help, Adam turns to Guy—who has a secret of his own—for help. Together they must solve a centuries-old mystery involving lost paintings, a priest hole, and a death that might have caused all the negative energy in the house. But that’s not all the pair discover, on a night of adventure that also brings unexpected romance...
A shorter, m/f version of this low-heat, plot-heavy paranormal romp was previously published by Fox Spirit Books as Got Ghosts? but the book has been expanded and extensively rewritten as m/m romance with a new title and cover art.

Oh my, this was a hoot!
Starting off slow and calm this tale creeps into intriguing and turning into hilarious at times. Ghost hunters invade Adams ancestral home with startling and crazy results. A truly fun and intense read, especially when the naughty Spirit shows up.

Adam Price has lived much of his life in Greystones Hall mansion. His grandparents took him in at the age of four after loosing his parents. Now, with the loss of his grandfather, he’s dealing with the finances on keeping Greystones up and running. The mansion has been passed down through generations and although costly he still loves the old place. He’s set up a small room where he can spend his time in privacy and quiet while he paints. Even with the strange occupants of the old mansion, Adam still feels the loneliness.
With an old article that a friend had written, Adam finds himself railroaded into a deal that he really can’t turn down. He get’s a call from Angelica of Angelic Productions that produce the TV show Ghosts Galore. Everything has already been set up for the production crew to come and invade Greystones. The first to show up are Carl the production manager and Stella the medium. Adam still reluctant lets them go forward with the chaos that the TV production brings. He’s a little attracted to Carl but there’s still something not right about him. Even the medium Stella, is a bother as no one want’s to listen to Adam as he can tell them where all the paranormal incidents take place in the mansion. The more cast and crew that invade the once quiet mansion it get’s on Adams nerves. He also, meets the production historian, Guy Beaumont. At least, Guy seems to ask questions that make much more sense and Adam finds that Guy actually listens to him. With Adams special connection with his Grandpa and others of the mansion, Adam notices that Guy may have heard him talking with his Grandpa.
For Adam it becomes very disturbing, when Carl states he doesn’t believe in ghosts and there’s something odd about a video of Ghosts Galore that he watches. He doesn’t like that the crew had invaded his private room where he paints. Now, there’s a ghost that is enraged and everyone is running for cover. Grandpa even steps in to protect Adam as much as he can.
Adam finally realizes that Guy is the only one worth talking to. With the invasion of the angry ghost. Guy helps in a very important way. Between the ghosts discovery and possible hidden paintings and Adam’s Grandpa what will happen between Guy and Adam?
Fiona Glass creates a well done, short paranormal story with a smattering of spooky moments, humor and a budding romance. For a short story, the author still gives enough about the main characters that make them likable. I like both Adam and Guy and the gradual connection that they make. Adam also shares so much about his family history with Guy. Guys interest in Adam grows and he also has a surprise for Adam. It’s really wonderful how Adam still has that warm and loving relationship with his Grandpa.
The secondary characters were all types of quirky themselves: Carl, Stella, Donny and the chaotic crew. Did the really know what they were doing?
“Ghosts Galore” was fun and entertaining to read. I had this book sitting in my library for a while and should have read it sooner. Thank you, Fiona Glass for a wonderful paranormal story with that special touch of romance.

Fun for Halloween.
Loved the idea for this. It was fun and well thought out to give the idea some life. The characters are likeable and Greystones was a great setting. The romance was a bit lackluster, though, between Adam and Guy. I think part of that was a bit intentional given how Guy seems to like fading into the background, but I think they needed more time together or less of Adam desiring Carl for the story to totally work for me. It's really good, just falls short of great for me.

I found this gently humorous story an absolute treat! Adam, an artist, lives quietly in his ancestral home with attendant ghosts and only agrees to allow a film crew for Ghosts Galore (a fabulous pastiche of those sorts of tv programmes) on the premises to help with paying for the upkeep of the manor house.
I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of the brash tv crew's resulting chaos imposed on poor Adam's peace and creativity (and the ghosts aren't keen either), stirring up all kinds of unexpected supernatural mayhem, despite the cynicism of the handsome (if untrustworthy) director, Carl.
The way this was resolved was ingenious, entertaining and sweet, as was the unexpected promise of romance. Adam was so lovely and likeable and his devotion to his family home was touching, quirky and special. This will definitely be one of those charming, offbeat, feel-good books I'll enjoy reading again and again.

Like a very special paranormal episode of Fawlty Towers where the hotel is haunted and two gents kiss at the end. Cute and very British, but the romance takes a back seat.
