Don't Look Back, Agnes, an e-ghostly short story from The Wild Rose Press (2008)
Agnes Michaels is coming home. Home to her childhood town of Fairfield and the house her father lovingly built for her mother. A house surrounded by the woods where Agnes' two childhood friends and her boyfriend, Tyler, were all murdered twenty summers ago when she was just seventeen. She was the only one who escaped, but not without emotional and physical scars. Agnes knows that the woods and the evil entity that lives in it have been waiting for her all these years but she has no choice but to return to Fairfield and her mother's house when her mother falls very ill and needs her care. Agnes can no longer avoid her destiny. Because the killings have begun again and she's the only one who can stop them. And with the help of a new friend and Tyler's ghost, she'll defeat the evil and save another child's life.

Egyptian Heart, an ancient time travel by Kathryn Meyer Griffith from THE WILD ROSE PRESS (2008)
Maggie Owen is a beautiful, spirited Egyptologist?but lonely. Even being in Egypt on a grant from the college she teaches at to search for an undiscovered necropolis she's certain lies below the sands beyond the pyramids of Gizah doesn't give her the happiness she'd hoped it would. There has always been and is something missing. Love.
Then her workmen uncover Ramose Nakh-Min's ancient tomb and an amulet from his sarcophagus hurls her back to 1340 B.C - where she falls hopelessly in love with the man she was destined to be with, noble Ramose, who faithfully serves the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaton and his queen Nefertiti.
But she's fallen into perilous times with civil war threatening Egypt. She's been mistaken for one of Ramose's runaway slaves and with her blond hair, jinn green eyes and fair skin she doesn't fit in. Some say she's magical and evil. Ramose's favorite, Makere, attempts to kill her.
The people, angry the pharaoh Akhenaton has set his queen Nefertiti aside and he's forced them to worship his god, Aton (instead of their many Egyptian gods), are rising up against him.
And Maggie's caught in the middle of it in a dangerous land and time she doesn't belong in.
In the end, desperately in love with Ramose, she finds a way to stay alive and with him in ancient Egypt - and to make a difference in his world and history.
Because Maggie has finally found love.

The Ice Bridge (2008)
Charlotte returns to her Aunt Bess and Mackinac Island, a quaint retreat that welcomes summer tourists and allows no cars (just horses and bicycles) to renew herself and write about the island's ghosts.
She's come to help Bess with her heartache, an ended love with Shaun, and to renew a friendship with neighbor Hannah.
In winter Mackinac closes down and everyone looks forward to the ice bridge that freezes across the Straits of Mackinac.
Until Hannah disappears into the icy waters crossing it. Everyone says it's an accident. But Charlotte and her admirer cop friend, Mac, don't think so. Something isn't right. Hannah was too smart to go off the path.
So it's murder?but why?how?by whom?
In the end, it's Mac - and perhaps Hannah's ghost? - that saves Charlotte and Bess's lives when the killer decides they're too close to the truth and tries to kill them, too.

I'm a published author of twelve novels: Evil Stalks the Night (romantic horror), Leisure 1984; The Heart of the Rose (historical romance) Leisure 1985; Blood Forge (horror), Leisure 1989; Vampire Blood (romantic horror), Zebra 1991; The Last Vampire (romantic horror), Zebra 1992; Witches (romantic horror), Zebra 1993 & Pinnacle 2000; The Calling (romantic horror), Zebra 1994 and Scraps of Paper (romantic hardcover murder mystery), 2003 and a second mystery in the series, All Things Slip Away, 2006 from Avalon Books. Egyptian Heart (e-book now; paperback May 30, 2008), an ancient Egyptian time travel novel available at www.thewildrosepress as well as a ghostly short story, In This House. ALL MY NOVELS, even though the titles might not sound like it, ARE WHOLESOME, GOOD VERSUS EVIL (and good always wins) BOOKS....with no graphic violence or foul language. I don't believe in any of that. Love, family and goodness are what count in my books.
I was once a graphic designer (22 years) in the corporate world but now write full time.
I began reading Science Fiction (Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein), historical romance, mystery (Sherlock Holmes) and traditional horror very young and, a storyteller, I always had stories going around in my head - when I wasn't drawing pictures. I watched Twilight Zone and Spook Spectacular; loved the Waltons (I had a big poor family as well) and after my first child was born, bored silly, I began to write.
My first novel, EVIL STALKS THE NIGHT, 1984, was an old-fashioned something evil's in the woods ghost story and I've been writing about vampires, ghosts, supernatural beings and murder mysteries (most with a touch of romance) ever since. I always had to write, I had no choice. It's me, a way of life, second-nature and my greatest passion.
Book number ten, EGYPTIAN HEART (an ancient Egyptian time travel romance) is out electronically now and in paperback on May 30, 2008 from The Wild Rose Press; book number eleven, WINTER'S JOURNEY (a romantic suspense novel) is also out now, paperback October 3, 2008; and my twelfth book THE ICE BRIDGE (a contemporary romance with a touch of murder mystery) will be out in mid 2008. And two ghostly short stories, DON'T LOOK BACK, AGNES (a series) and IN THIS HOUSE are both OUT NOW...both romantic stories about ghosts of one kind or another...ALL from THE WILD ROSE PRESS htp://www.thewildrosepress.com. *******
I loved the Left Behind series and read every one! I've been writing an end-of-days novel myself the last few years and hope to have it done this year.
