Gordon Bonnet has been writing fiction for decades. Encouraged when his story "Crazy Bird Bends His Beak" won critical acclaim in Mrs. Moore's 1st grade class at Central Elementary School in St. Albans, West Virginia, he embarked on a long love affair with the written word. His interest in the paranormal goes back almost that far, although it has always been tempered by Gordon's scientific training. This has led to a strange duality; his work as a skeptic and debunker on the popular blog Skeptophilia, while simultaneously writing paranormal and speculative novels, novellas, and short stories. SLINGS & ARROWS is his seventeenth published novel, and the seventh in his Snowe Agency Series of psychic mysteries. Gordon blogs daily but is never without a piece of fiction in progress-driven to continue, as he puts it, "because I want to find out how the story ends."

Sometimes the lost don't want to be found.
Tucker Ferguson thought his life was moving along in a predictable fashion-working as an athletic trainer by day, clubbing and partying at night. Then he receives a mysterious plea for help on his cell phone, and he soon finds himself trapped in an alternate dimension he can't escape.
Other odd things are happening elswhere in Colville, New York, though. Wry, plain-spoken Police Officer Dean Williamson and his earnest, dedicated partner Khalil Mansour have been chasing a petty thief who has the ability to appear out of nowhere and disappear again at will. When they make the connection between Tucker's disappearance and the thief's antics, the situation takes a turn in a markedly sinister direction.
The three men are drawn into the connections between our world and the Shambles-that mysterious, shadowy place where all the lost things go. Lost socks, lost car keys-and lost people. And when a young megalomaniac decides that she wants the Shambles to be her kingdom, regardless of whose life it costs, Tucker is jerked out of his complacency into a world where there are no rules-and Mansour and Williamson may be the only ones who can save his life.
