As of today, I am a published writer! A short story of mine, a novella, if you will, has been published to Amazon's Kindle store.
The title of my ghost story is What Lurks Within...
Sent with four other youths to a summer therapy retreat for
troubled teens, Grace, a girl cursed with the ability to see and hear ghosts,
finds herself at a secluded hotel. Upon her arrival, she finds that her time
there will be far from the expected therapeutic experience. The doctor sent to
help them is, from the very beginning, strangely cold, detached, and a
mysterious stranger who doesn’t seem to belong – in more ways than one –
disappears without a trace. But, from the moment Grace laid eyes upon the
staring windows of the Ravenshill Hotel, she knew that something far, far worse
lurked within its walls. Plagued by horrifying visions of death, Grace is
forced to relive a gruesome spree of murders from the Ravenshill’s past. Used
to being a forced witness to ghostly flashbacks of many a grizzly end, Grace
initially attempts to writes off her unease. However, when the line between
past and present begins to blur, when the Ravenshill’s haunted past begins to
repeat itself, Grace stumbles upon a truth far more terrible than any she could
have ever imagined. Will Grace discover what really lurks within the maddened
walls of the Ravenshill, or will the revelation prove to be more than she can
bear?
