Spook Light

TEXAN'S HONOR and the Spook Light.

When I began the research for TEXAN'S HONOR, I came across something of a ghost story in northeastern Oklahoma lore. It's called the Spook Light. Now I didn't actually see it, but I know some truly honest people that have and I believe them.

The Spook Light is supposedly the ghost of a Native American woman or warrior who is haunting this one particular area east of Miami, OK. I incorporated the tale of the Spook Light into TEXAN'S HONOR because it was both scary and romantic.

Let me just say this: it gets the book off to a nicely chilling start.

When I was doing research for another yet unpublished book, I came across another Spook Light tale in North Carolina. This one was told to me by a Sheriff's Dept. detective sergeant who had actually seen it. Again, the Spook Light is supposed to be the ghost of a Cherokee warrior killed in battle who lost his head and is still looking for it.

If you read TEXAN'S HONOR, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Good reading, friends. - Larry NamesTexan's Honor Texan's Honor by Larry D. Names
