I am trying to capture a certain flavor with this. It is a first draft.

Rachel Banner is a detective working to solve a century-old murder.

Yesterday I decided to get back to work at writing. After all, I'm not going to get any better without doing it. Motivation is difficult for me in the wintertime...the cold depresses me, I think.

Today is a free day on Kindle for "Ghost of a Chance." I hope you will take a chance on it for Halloween. www.amazon.com/Ghost-of-a-Chance-eboo...

I'm still working on how Goodreads works. Today I discovered that people can list "Ghost of a Chance" under their currently-reading, or to-be-read lists. That amazes me, but it scares me, too. I hope they like it. I hope they downloaded it after I fixed the typos, and not before. It's in their hands now, so all I can do is keep trying to do the best I can.

I'm trying Amazon Prime for "Ghost of a Chance," and I'm looking forward to the free days. The first one is October 2, 2012, and I hope I have 1000 downloads!

I rushed my book into print and received some well-deserved criticism for it. There were many typos, and some of the characters didn't stay in character! Also, the ending was rushed. I was in such a hurry to see what happened.

I've tried to correct those issues. The typos were easiest to fix. I've nudged the characters, and took the time to explore the end of the story more fully. I uploaded the corrected version, and I hope readers will enjoy the story much more. That is my true desire.
