Spookie is a quaint village often cloaked in fog and filled with mysteries. The usual eccentric characters are here for their fourth murder mystery and the case is one which really hits close to home this time for Myrtle, the town's Perry Como singing and wagon-pulling bag lady. Her sister Evelyn, the local animal hoarder, is missing. Strange miniature figures fashioned of twigs are found hanging from one of Evelyn's trees as a warning. Because of them Myrtle fears a coven of wanted-to-be witches she once knew, and escaped from, nearly sixty years ago could be behind the kidnapping because she stole their ancient black grimoire-and they want it back. But Myrtle doesn't want them to have it because she believes the grimoire could be dangerously authentic. The book mustn't fall into the wrong hands and the old coven's hands are covered in blood. So Myrtle again seeks Frank and Abigail's help in getting her sister back, alive, and in protecting the grimoire. What they don't know is a fourth addition to their team of sleuths, a mysterious psychic and new addition to the town, will emerge and join the battle...but whose side will she be on? Is she merely a psychic or is she something more? And will they get Evelyn back alive or will the old witches find and possess the grimoire first? The fourth Spookie Town Murder Mystery. Sequel to (1) Scraps of Paper, (2) All Things Slip Away and (3) Ghosts Beneath Us. Soon there will be a fifth.
Author Biography
Since childhood I've been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I'd already begun writing novels at 21, over forty-five years ago now, and have had twenty-six (romantic horror, horror, romantic SF horror, suspense, time travel, historical romance, thrillers, and murder mysteries) previous novels, two novellas and twelve short stories published from Zebra Books, Leisure Books, Avalon Books, The Wild Rose Press, Damnation Books/Eternal Press. But I've gone into self-publishing in a big way since 2012; and upon getting all my older books' full rights back for the first time in 33 years, along with my newer novels, have self-published all of them. My four Dinosaur Lake novels and Spookie Town Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us and Witches Among Us) are my best-sellers. I've been married to Russell for thirty-nine years; have a son and two grandchildren and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have a quirky cat, Sasha, and the three of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I've been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I'll probably write stories until the day I die...or until my memory goes. 2012 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS *Finalist* for her horror novel The Last Vampire 2014 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS * Finalist * for her thriller novel Dinosaur Lake. *All Kathryn Meyer Griffith's books can be found here: http: //tinyurl.com/ld4jlow *All her Audible.com audio books here: http: //tinyurl.com/oz7c4or Novels: Evil Stalks the Night, The Heart of the Rose, Blood Forged, Vampire Blood, The Last Vampire (2012 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS Finalist), Witches, The Nameless One erotic horror short story, The Calling, Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us, Egyptian Heart, Winter's Journey, The Ice Bridge, Don't Look Back, Agnes, A Time of Demons and Angels, The Woman in Crimson, Human No Longer, Four Spooky Short Stories Collection, Forever and Always Romantic Novella, Night Carnival Short Story, Dinosaur Lake (2014 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS Finalist), Dinosaur Lake II: Dinosaurs Arising and Dinosaur Lake III: Infestation, Dinosaur Lake IV: Dinosaur Wars, Memories of My Childhood and Christmas Magic 1959 short story.
