Idea behind Gravesite Lies Empty Series

I was sitting at work during my lunch break thinking which subject could I write about in my next book. I wanted to do another short story mini-series, but wanted to test my skills at writing a non-fiction story bring the past into the future and reverse.

See in GLE it begins with a town in the late 1800's and time chapter 1 is done we jump into the present day and they story picks up with a new couple just married and right now of college. Using some of my friends that just finished college and combining my thoughts and words into a mystery and crime type of book.

Around chapter 3 I get writers block on a simple name for a character that I wanted to be in it. I was in between texting my "lil bro" and was chatting with him about school and what I was writing about. A few seconds later he texts back name is after a monster, I texted back and said no, "I need a human name." Sometime went by and then I got another text, "use my name" hence 'Hunter' got written into the book. It turned out to be a great name for the character at hand, when you start to read GLE you will understand and see.

The best part is what happens towards the end of the book that will have you guessing what happens with Hunter and the Redbrooks in book 2.

Pick up your copy. Don't miss out. Gravesite Lies Empty
