1 Week To Launch! Plus The Last of Chapter 1

1 WEEK TO LAUNCH! PLUS THE LAST OF CHAPTER 1

Well, here we are. One week before the book becomes available. Whew! What is happening right now is that I'm waiting for the second proof to come in. I believe this one will pop out and look good enough for print (see the image above). It should be arriving no later than the 8th of this week. (Thursday.)

If it looks good, then that becomes the "production" run and all I have to do is actually publish it next Tuesday. 

Once it is out in all markets (the 13th), then I will focus only on publicity, advertising and marketing.

Don't forget that if you feel so inclined, leave a review. I hope you like it.

Now, without further ado, here is the last of chapter 1:

Chapter 1 (cont.)

Liz was still not saying anything.

‘Liz!’ Sam was forceful. She needed her to snap out of her fear and be strong for a moment.

Liz finally spoke. ‘I... I... I can’t.’ 

‘Yes you can! Now tell her to leave!’ Sam yelled.

It seemed forever before she had the strength to say anything.

‘Go home.’ Liz finally spoke. However, her words were almost a whisper.

‘Louder!’ Sam voiced.

Liz cleared her throat, wiping her tears.

‘You can do this babe. I believe in you!’ Peter needed to give her the strength she was looking for.

She looked at her husband and saw the love in his eyes. He believed her, after all this time. She forced herself to speak.

‘Go home.’

Sam needed her strong right now. ‘Louder! Say it like you mean it!’ 

‘Go home! You are NOT welcome here anymore!’ Liz yelled.

With that, the ghost disappeared.

‘Nice work, Liz!’ Lucy mentioned.

Peter had to know. ‘Is she gone for good?’ 

‘Well, we’re now going to smudge the home with white sage. It should release the spirit.’ Sam stated.

He looked at her. ‘Oh okay.’  

They began the smudging ceremony just as the sun was beginning to shine for the day. 

Moving into each room, including the attic, Sam lead them in a prayer, cleansing the house. Lucy was putting the equipment away as Sam was taking Liz and Peter through their home.

It took a while but once she was done, they could all feel as if a weight had been lifted.

Liz hugged both Lucy and Sam. ‘Thank you so much! I don’t know what we would have done, without you two.’

 Sam replied. ‘You’re welcome, it’s what we do. You should be okay now but if it ever comes back, buy some white sage and cleanse your home.

This you can do yourself.’

Liz and Peter nodded as he mentioned, ‘We will.’

As Sam and Lucy were saying their final goodbyes, they let them know that the evidence will be ready for them in a few days.

They nodded, relieved they finally could come back to the home they loved so much.

I hope you enjoy!
