Monday Book Review: “Ghost Moon” by Heather Graham

Ghost Moon (Bone Island Trilogy #3) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/ghost-moon-heather-graham/1023636182?ean=9780778327967&itm=2&usri=ghost%2bmoon

Heather Graham does it a final time in the last of this serial mystery triad.  My personal favorite character is back, Bartholomew the ghostly Privateer, this time hanging with Liam, an officer in Key West.

There’s a purportedly haunted house in which the owner is found dead at his desk, complete with a fright of terror!  In comes the long lost daughter, Kelsey Donovan, to see to his last will and testament is carried out and stake her claim.  Others have also staked a claim, but not in a court of law.  There’s another ghostly inhabitant of the dark old house on the shores of Key West!

There are plenty of twists and turns to keep even the most jaded reader awake and ‘alive’.  Kelsey’s father ran from Key West with her to escape the clutches of the house.  Her grandfather collected rare and precious cultural items from his work around the globe.  Could it be one of them killed her mother?  Her father wasn’t taking a chance!

How does Liam, Bartholemew and Kelsey find out the truth?

On Writing: My Version

Since 2001, Writing has become my hobby, a way to earn a few bucks here and there.  I’ve written in a few areas, health, fitness and real estate mostly.  I enjoy the research and producing good copy for clients.  It’s simple and straightforward.

I’ve also published my first novel, Aside of Murder (available on Kindle, Nook, Smashwords) which took me two years to write, then another five trying to edit and proofread. I’ve never liked editing or proofreading.  After struggling for five years, I was so sick of looking at the novel I wanted to print it off and just throw it at people, saying “TAKE IT!! JUST TAKE IT!”.  Don’t know if any other writers/authors out there can empathize.  I ended up just self-publishing last December on Smashwords.

What I enjoy about writing, is the creative process and getting the ideas down.  I like how the story unfolds (even I don’t know how things turn out until they’re written). Sometimes an idea works, other times, it doesn’t. Yes, I’ve deleted entire chapters before and had to ‘sit’ on ideas for weeks before tweaking. Does the story always flow smoothly?  No, and that’s a good thing.  Sometimes the story and reader have to be jolted out of the comfortable rhyme and meter of the words.

I enjoy the thrill of writing a scene, of tension between people or places, of stopping-your-breath action. I understand I’m not an editor or proofreader when it comes to my Books and Novels.

But, I’m one helluva gifted writer.

What happens when an embezzling bank executive and a high class call girl blackmail each other into marriage? Revenge and Murder.
Shelley, a naive law student from a poor background was tricked into becoming a call girl by her boss, the Assistant District Attorney. She vows to get out of the ‘business’ by blackmailing Gerald Johnson, (who, in turn, blackmails her into marriage). Gerald is an embezzling Executive Vice President at one of the nations biggest banks. Gerald, along with a crooked insurance salesman, Bill Belcher, is heading the night deposit theft ring.
He is feeling the pressure from one of the bank’s investigators, Joan, for the night deposit theft investigation. No sooner than Joan delves into it, she is partnered with Detective McIntire from the police department. The investigation proves dangerous the further Joan and the Detective get to the center of the case, and find their friend’s lives at peril. As a child, Joan’s parents abandoned her for a life in France, and as an adult Mama and Papa Miller, the elderly black couple who own a grocery store downtown, ‘adopted’ her and her best friend, Sue Phillips along with Sue’s husband, John.
They all find themselves thrown into a murder investigation when Shelley Johnson is missing from her home, and pools of blood are found instead. Gerald flees from country to country as a result and finds himself face to face with Shelley’s accusing spirit wherever he travels.
Joan and Detective McIntire find themselves and their friends and family even deeper into Gerald’s complicated scheme. What culminates affect everyone.
