This book was inspired by daily routines and a discovery my dad came across while working at a nearby psychiatric hospital here in the Tampa Bay Area. I had originally thought of writing a ghost story, but after talking with him, the plot quickly changed around the information he provided me. If only he could have seen the book. He passed away from Alzheimer's Disease in early May this year. My heart aches over this. We did talk about the book before he was too confused, and he became tearful when he heard the book was dedicated to him. Unlike the father in this book, my dad was wonderful, and I'm so thankful for all he did for me and his sense of humor.
No release date has been set yet, but it should be before the end of the year. As soon as I hear, I'll let you know. It will be available in ebook and printed books on this website, Caliburn Press, Amazon, B&N and others. I'll also be doing some free giveaway events, so stay tuned and subscribe below for updates!
Thank you to all who have supported me. I could not have done this without you. Please continue sharing and spreading the word. Most of the marketing for the book will be done through me, so I appreciate all of your help!
Have a great day and let me know what you think about the cover!
