Wednesday, October 16, 2013. A haunted house story revisited. Counting down to Halloween - it's a good time to re-read some of my favorite stories of ghosts and haunted houses. Here's a review I posted to Amazon a few months ago. HOW TO SURVIVE A KILLER SÉANCE. No problem for Presley, who has loyal colleagues to help her pull off such a stunt. Jonathan brings his own crew to operate his top-secret magic machine. All goes well until Sarah’s appearance goes off the rails. At first she does fine, ...Presley...

He leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and yawned. When this report finished running, he’d do the same thing for bases in Asia.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
