“The house looked imposing and the eyes of the attic windows gazed down at me as we approached. The glass had broken away from the windows long ago, leaving nothing but space between us and whatever it was that was watching us…”
At first glance you may be wondering why there is a post on a new book about a ghost on this blog. Well, our National Office Manager, Amelia Cotter, has just published her first book, “This House: The True Story of a Girl and a Ghost”!
Her book is available at www.lulu.com in paperback for $12.95 and as an e-book for $6.95 and will soon be available at other online retailers like Amazon.com. Amelia also has a website for the book that has more info and updates which is at www.thishousebook.net
About The Book:
Nora is a lonely fifteen year old who dreams of more adventure than life in suburban Maryland can offer. Fascinated by the supernatural, she begins exploring an allegedly haunted abandoned house on the property where her father works. She soon finds herself tangled in the mysteries of the house as she uncovers its many secrets and meets a shy ghost called “Walter.”
Including original documents with the author’s notes, this book is based on real events and reveals how a girl, a house and its ghost will become intertwined forever.
“Ms. Cotter’s evocative writing deliciously transported me…A wonderfully engaging book which also sheds light on the complex impulses that make the paranormal so irresistible. Ghosts speak to us in so many ways. The author is a master listener.” -Ursula Bielski, founder of Chicago Hauntings and author of the Chicago Haunts series
“Anyone interested in ghosts, the paranormal, or romance should definitely pick up a copy…’This House’ deserves to be in the spotlight.” -Sarah Lindesmith, Examiner.com
