About Ghosted
Sometimes you have to lose everything to find what you actually need.
Silas has just lost his beloved department store Santa job—the one thing that brought him joy and the income he needed to reach out to his estranged son. Hope? Gone.
Ellen has just been fired from the East Side Diner—losing not just her paycheck, but the customers who felt like family. Her future? Uncertain.
When you’re this low, when hope feels impossible, that’s when fate tends to get creative.
Cue the MS Viking Gay Holiday Cruise with 3000 passengers ready to celebrate. Along with the occasional drag queen up to no good. Neither Silas nor Ellen planned to be there. Neither wanted to be surrounded by that much joy when their own lives were falling apart.
But here’s what they don’t know yet: rock bottom isn’t the end of the story. It’s the foundation.
“Fanning has weaved a tale that has it all—romance, humor, drama, mystery, and suspense.” —BookLife
Think ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ meets ‘The Grinch who stole Christmas’ onboard a cruise ship full of unexpected possibilities.
Because sometimes when you think you’ve lost everything—your job, your purpose, your chance at love—you’re actually just clearing space for something better. Sometimes the moment you stop looking for hope is exactly when hope finds you.
They expected to spend Christmas alone. They never expected that losing everything might be the best thing that ever happened to them.
