While on a summer adventure camp in the woods of Northern Maine, Josie – a theater geek who prefers ballet shoes to hiking boots – and her fellow campers find themselves forced to take shelter in an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Each will have their own brush with the supernatural as they confront the long-dead residents of the home, but, after a bump on the head, Josie will be taken above and beyond any comfortable reality she has known so far. She will be thrust into finding an inner strength she hadn’t known she possessed and into facing a love deeper than she knew possible. As Josie and her new friends step into a world of paranormal possibilities, how will their experiences forever change her life and the lives of those she is now closest with?
Valerie Lofaso is a writer, an Empathic Medium, a Reiki practitioner, and a paranormal investigator and researcher. Fusing her personal experiences with dead people with the stories that have lived in her head all her life (and were fueled since childhood by ghost stories), she is working to create a believable world in which contact with the dead can - and should - happen. In the Tangled Web future, Valerie plans to further explore the main character's Native American roots and "stories behind the ghost stories." She is also developing additional works in the fantasy and paranormal genres. In addition, she works a full time job and is the mother of an amazing daughter. They live together in the Portsmouth NH area.
