2 Weeks To Launch! Plus More of Chapter 1

2 WEEKS TO LAUNCH! PLUS MORE OF CHAPTER 1

So the first proof copy came in for me to review. (The first hard copy of the book. Lol.)

While the interior is perfect, the cover appeared a little on the dark side. So I have made an attempt to brighten it up to see if that will help.

The other thing I did originally was to have a "mat" look too. I've switched that to glossy.

Hopefully I'll have the cover where I want it. We shall see! (It's down to the wire now. :) )

Okay, as promised, here is more of the chapter:

Chapter 1 (cont.)

Both Liz and Peter were listening to the two. Liz was scared. She was having a hard time controlling herself. Peter was doing his best to keep her calm.

‘What is your name?’ Sam asked. 

Once they know contact is made, no matter when it is first discovered, the spirit has come out of hiding and Sam is able to have direct communication with them. It’s as if they have given permission.

She waited for a response. 

Sam finally spoke. ‘Hello, Jane. Why are you here?’ 

They waited for a response.

‘Well, you may like this family but they live in fear of you.’ She expressed.

Just as soon as Sam said that, Lucy could see the ghost dart off into one of the bedrooms.

‘Where did she go?’ Lucy asked. 

She looked up from the screen to see which room it was. 

Lucy went first as they moved to the bedroom on the left. When she arrived, she began opening the door slowly. The full spectrum camera was capturing the images inside as the room was being revealed. She wasn’t looking at the screen, so she couldn’t see what the camera saw as they both stepped inside.

‘This is the children’s room. She’s in the corner, over there.’ Sam uttered pointing to the right-hand side.

Both of them immediately point their cameras to the same area.

Lucy noticed the EMF meter was going wild, where it didn’t before. She could obviously tell that there was something she couldn’t explain which was causing that, because it was reading zero from before.

‘You must leave; this is not your home anymore!’ Sam stated.

This just upset the spirit.

With Lucy holding onto the full spectrum, she could see, clearly what was happening with the ghost. It moved very quickly from left to right, as if it was frustrated, pacing back and forth. Then without warning, it rushed up towards Lucy.

‘Whoa!’ She yelled.

What she could see from the camera, was the woman’s face. It was skinny, almost like skin and bones, with dark eye sockets, where the eyes would have been.

She showed Sam immediately. ‘Look at that!’ 

‘Oh yeah, she’s pissed.’ She replied.

Sam knew with the spirit in this state that it would be the best time to remove it from the house.

She yelled to the Livingroom. ‘Liz, Peter, can you come here please?’ 

No sound came.

‘Liz?’ She called again.

Nothing.

‘That’s weird.’ Lucy looked at Sam.

Sam knew this was a problem. ‘Uh oh.’ 

They rushed to the Livingroom to see the ghost standing in front of the husband and wife. Tears were rolling down Liz’s face as she was frozen with fear. Peter couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Sam looked right at her. ‘Liz, you have to tell her to leave. Only you can do it because she’s connected with you the most.’

I hope your day and week is awesome!
