Catherine Mclean: 2 books

Apprentice pastry chef Mélanie does not mind being haunted by her many times great-grandfather, Antonin Carème.  But when the vengeful ghost of Carème's apprentice appears and begins to threaten her girlfriend, the stakes are raised, and ice-cream becomes a much more dangerous business than Mélanie had ever imagined. Best Served Cold is a novelette of approximately 9,500 words.

In 1835, Jacques Jasmin wrote a romantic poem, The Blind Girl of Castel Cuillè, in which Margaret is betrayed by her lover, Baptiste, and dies of a broken heart.  But what if she didn't?  This choose-your-own-adventure short story explores some of the other choices Margaret might have made, for better or for worse.
