Locals say The Depot is haunted. But in all the years homicide detective Mark Waters has visited the ancient train station turned restaurant, he’s never seen proof. 
Until now...
If you like mystery with a touch of paranormal and romance, and just need to escape for a while, download this free short story for your Kindle, Nook, iPad, tablet, smart phone, or even your PC. 

Because of reader demand, a follow-up story is in the works now available for the next chapter in the life of Detective Mark Waters, along with the background on our Pennsylvania ghost, so The Depot is officially a prequel.

By the way, here is my inspiration for the location of The Library (Where Life Checks Out), the follow up story to The Depot.

      It's amazing. Hard to believe that it's in Scranton, PA. I love finding unique buildings like it for my stories. The castle on the cover of Creatus Animus is real too. Located about an hour from Boston and New York. Just seeing buildings like these send my mind into overdrive, imagining stories.

      Thanks again for reading and commenting. I love to hear what my avid-reading friends think.

"As in any fairytale, everything good must come to an end." ENTANGLED DREAMS:

By
Now, if you’ve read any of my novels or excerpts, you know I don’t do happy-go-lucky beginnings; and as in any fairytale, a little rain must fall, or in the case of my stories, I prefer a monsoon. This week’s excerpt: But alas, as in any good fairytale, everything good and wonderful must come to an end. After the tragic accident that snatched her mother away from Alexandra, her father moved them away from the beaches of Destin to another beach in Florida. Cocoa Beach. Cocoa Beach was loud, the water murky, and there were no weekend adventures as there had been in Destin. Her father married her evil stepmother, Lilith, who Alexandra was certain was a witch with her long, black as midnight hair and pale-white skin as if she’d never seen sunlight. Her father had admitted he wasn’t in love with Cruella, as she had come to think of the witchy woman, but that he’d wanted Alexandra to have a mother and siblings. Well, she definitely got that.

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

By
Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I

First look at Creatus Animus...

By
Warning!!! Spoiler Alert!!! This is an excerpt from Creatus Animus , the fourth book (fifth if you count the prequel) in the ongoing Creatus series. Although each book can stand on its own, you will learn secrets that will spoil the mystery and suspense for you if you read out of order. If you haven't already read the Creatus series, find the entire series on Amazon.com . For the rest of you, welcome to the first peek of Creatus Animus . I hope you enjoy. Carmen If we allow enmity in our hearts, war is inevitable... For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction. Now, one rogue faction plans to retaliate by ridding the world of humankind. Only one division of creatus, with the strength and numbers to fight the sinister sect, stands between humanity and a new world order. What they discover, however, might prove the truth about the creatus myths, and why humans started hunting them so man
