When I pitched the book to Gwendolyn Druyor for possible production in audio, the description I gave intrigued her. I said, "Think Casper meets Castle." (If you're familiar with the former TV series starring Nathan Fillion, you'll know what this means.) Andrew, the ghost, is not your typical chain-dragging, shrieking spirit whose goal is to drive breathing humans from his habitat. Quite the opposite. Andrew is dying to be heard. Well, in a matter of speaking. (And Gwendolyn did a fabulous job of narrating, by the way.)
Here's the story premise: Andrew McCabe has been trapped in the small mountain cabin for two years, waiting for someone who can see and hear him, find out what happened to his fiancĂ©e, Laura, and help bring justice to his murderer, Daniel Flynn. Jessica Windsor rents the cabin hoping the change of scenery will get her past her writer’s block and back on deadline with her novel. She soon discovers she’s not alone and the not-so-scary, but annoying, ghost needs her help. A former mystery writer, Andrew, offers to get Jess back on tract with her novel if she does some snooping on his behalf. Hopelessly blocked in her writing, Jessica agrees, not realizing she has put herself directly into Daniel Flynn’s crosshairs.
Binky the cat, also has a supporting role in this story. We argued about my portrayal of her neurotic tendencies, but since I'm the one with opposable thumbs and I can type, my version won out. So, get your copy of IN THE SPIRIT today and meet Andrew, the Affable Ghost, and Binky, the slightly neurotic tuxedo cat.
IN THE SPIRIT available at AMAZON.COM and at AUDIBLE.
