Hi everyone - this is a continuation of my blog series titled, "First Book Cover Reveal." I chose to do this so that you can see the posts from this Facebook event in case you weren't able to go and to help other authors. This was a special post to me, because I talk about my dad - the inspiration for the story.

POST #3 - COVER REVEAL FOR THE CAGING AT DEADWATER MANOR
When I was brainstorming for the book, I thought I was going to write a ghost story because I wanted to see if I could write a dark novel. Since my dad used to work at a psych hospital, I asked him if he saw anything strange there. His discovery in the hospital is the basis for the book, hence “Inspired by true events” is on the cover.
He recently died of Alzheimer’s but while he had a lucid moment, I was able to tell him I dedicated the book to him. He became emotional, so he I knew he understood. He’ll never get to see the book in print, but at least I know he knew the book was dedicated to him.
He always wanted me to make sure I tell everyone that the father I wrote about in the book was NOT him! My dad was a wonderful, caring, funny man who would do anything for us. Here’s a couple pictures of my dad:

I miss him very much - such a good man.
