A Haunting at Mackinac

by Cindy Koch-Krol

Alina is a psychic who regularly talks with her dead mother and other spirits. In the summer of 1920, when her Uncle takes her on vacation to Mackinac Island, she finds herself haunted by an unknown evil spirit. In an effort to exorcise this spirit from the Island she finds help from a number of other people both living and dead. But it isn't until a Native American Shaman by the name of Kineekuhowa comes to her aid can she find the answers she's looking for.

About the author

Cindy Koch Krol was born the Salvation Home for Unwed Mothers in Detroit Michigan, but things have gone uphill from there. She began her writing career as a toddler when she made up stories and screenplays for her collection of stuffed animals to act out. Her first story was written at age 7 and her first screenplay about a Black Bicycle was written when she was 8. She has been writing ever since. Her first publication was a letter to the editor of the Ann Arbor News when she was 15. her first paid publication was a story called "Fear" about a Native American man in an alcohol treatment center. This story was published in Buffalo Spree Magazine in 1987. Cindy has also published articles on quilting, designed quilt patterns, and written quilting mysteries. Her first novel "A Haunting at Mackinac," came out in 2011. Other titles that have become available since then are "Northwoods," "Lost in the Woods," "The Heart of Penfield Bay," "The Wolves that Watch," "The Ghost of Dixboro," and "Border Babes." All of Cindy's books take place in Northern Michigan where she currently lives, with her husband and personal chef (her son). She writes in front of a window facing out into her fairy garden where she watches the critters eating at her five bird feeders. And just coincidentally, she lives on the same block as the Salvation Army Community Center in Traverse City.
