Hi Carol, I know I've missed your last couple of books, but I plan to keep up with this one!
You are off to a fantastic start, opening with a an action scene and lots of tension to hook the reader immediately.

An excellent start, and I look forward to reading more.

I see you've entered the 'Write a Book in a Month' contest. You have a great beginning here. I can't wait to read more and I see my friend Matthew will already be part of it. Good luck with the contest.

Not to worry your little heart, my friend, Garth will be there soon and he plays a big part in the story. Hope you love it. Though I don't know if I can write it in 30 days and do the story justice. We will see. If I had seen the 10,000 word instead of the 30,000 before I entered, I might have written soemthing different.
Smile, Carol

You're starting a new book. It off to a violent start. Your first chapter leaves us wondering if Eleanor's sister is still alive. If she is dead, why can't she be a spirit like Eleanor? What allows some of dead people to be ghosts and some not? I don't know the rules.

It depends on your skills I suppose, but one never knows. I guess we see where the story goes and enjoy the ride. Thanks so much for the review. Happy reading!

Comment from karenina
Yikes! You start this one off with a bang! (Well, a crash then a bang...)
And thus the mystery starts as it appears John Doyle is at once on the road and awaiting hid parole hearing?
A mystery of paranormal proportions, or did the man hire someone to go after Margaret?
Welcome to the insanity of writing a novel in a month!
You have done it before and I'm ready for the wild ride!

Thanks so much, Karenina. If I don't scale this one back, it might be too much to cram into a month but I will see. I didn't know they had scaled back to 10,000 words (just a shorty) until after I entered...I might have chosen differently, but here goes. We shall see hw the story unfolds and I hope that you enjoy it.

I have confidence in you, Carol. I was unaware there was a "cap" on the word count, but you'll dazzle us, I'm sure!

**** This just in: I noticed the wording for this contest is "AT LEAST" 10,000 words. So, you're golden! No limit on the length except a minimum of 10,000 words, which leaves you lots of room to develop your novel.

Yeah! If this goes the way I want it too it will be a big story.... Just don't know if I can get it done in 30 days with me being in N,C, Oh well, Que Sera Sera. Smiles

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Wow, what an intense and gripping read! You've created such a sense of urgency and fear with Margaret's desperate situation. I really appreciated how you captured her emotional turmoil and the physical sensations of panic - I could feel it! Keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you, Michael. Your review is exactly what I was looking and hoping for... I wanted to grip the reader right out of box with the tension and fear that was developing. I thank you so much for the wonderful review.

Wow this was very intense, I can't believe how prolific you are Carol. I'm excited to see that Eleanor is returning and that you are continuing where you left off with Spirited Justice. I can't wait to read more.

Wow! If I can hold your attention that well and leave you spell bound, I am thrilled. I wanted the reader to feel the tension from the beginning of the book. Awesome! Thank you, Marilyn.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Phew!! That was a chapter and a half, Carol. My heart was thumping a fast and loudly as Margarets! How the hell could John Doyle still be in prison and yet kill Margaret? He must have got someone to do it for him. That would be even more scary. Who else is he after? Loads of people. Garth and Donatelli have to act fast to stop that from happening. Well done, my friend. I'm so pleased to have Eleanor back. Good luck in getting this one finished and won. :)) Sandra xxxx

It's going to be a tough one, but at leat I'm off and writing. You were my first review (hurrah!) and of course I am thrilled. After looking at my storyline last night, I've really got a lot to cram into a short time...but I thrive on challenges...just look at my life. LOL I can't wait to see what you think as the story unfolds...lots of twists and turns.
Hope you are doing well.....Thanks for always being there for me.
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, Carol
