The Depot (When Life and Death Cross Tracks), a Mini Mystery with a Ghostly Edge

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.

Until next time, happy reading, friends!

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.

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...

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

By
No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review...
