The Gentle Sound of Tapping

by Jennifer Melzer

Walter Winthrop does not believe in anything he can’t see with his own two eyes. He thrives on logic and fact, and takes comfort in the certainty of mathematics and science. While working on a special government contract, he becomes careless after an argument with a coworker, and doesn’t notice a bottle of correction fluid that bounces off his keyboard before rolling to the floor. That one mistake in numbers is powerful enough to open up the portal between worlds, allowing something dark and sinister to cross over and follow Walter home from work…For the first time in his life he prays… for the gentle sound of tapping to go away.

About the author

Jennifer Melzer spent the majority of her life as a writer denying she actually liked to write romance, only to wake up one morning and discover that every single tale she’d ever written had somehow revolved around the heart. She has since given into the whim, spinning yarns of love and firmly believing that everyone deserves a happy ending.

She lives in Northeast Pennsylvania with her husband and daughter, but dreams nightly she is laying on the beach watching the stars fall over the Atlantic Ocean.
