Theodore : A Metaphysical Mystery
Every small town has secrets. Some have killed and will kill again
A company town high in the Cascade Mountains has secrets held by both the living and the dead. Secrets slowly rot a town and its people. Frankie has grown from a skeptic to a seeker to a believer in ghosts. It is one thing to talk to ghosts; it is a much larger challenge for the living to let go of their toxic secrets and release their ghosts before their past destroys them.
Join Frankie as she reluctantly agrees to find her friend’s father who disappeared fifty years ago. This time the ghosts have a warning. Mother Nature is wide awake, and She is not happy.
Once a town has sold its soul, it may be impossible to redeem.

About the author
Gerald Gould
68 books8 followersGerald Gould (1885 – 1936) was an English writer, known as a journalist and reviewer, essayist and poet.
He was brought up in Norwich, and studied at University College, London and Magdalen College, Oxford. He had a position at University College from 1906, and was a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford from 1909 to 1916.
From 1914 he was an official in Masterman's Wellington House Propaganda Department, which may explain his failure to produce much poetry concerned with the War. He also worked as a journalist on the Daily Herald as one of Lansbury's Lambs — a group of idealistic young men helping with it after George Lansbury purchased it in 1913, and which included Douglas Cole, W. N. Ewer, Harold Laski, William Mellor and Francis Meynell.
It was probably Gould who brought Siegfried Sassoon to the paper as literary Editor after its relaunch in 1919. Gould regularly contributed poetry to the Herald and gave several sonnets to Millicent Fawcett's Common Cause when it became the Woman's Leader in 1920.
Gould also reviewed novels for the New Statesman, moving to The Observer as fiction editor in 1920. He was also (not coincidentally) made chief reader for Victor Gollancz Ltd., where he was involved in the early publication history of George Orwell.
His poem Wander-thirst is often quoted. Much of his poetry remains buried in the columns of newspapers and periodicals. The few collections that appeared, although well reviewed by contemporaries, are long out of print.
