Excerpt from my 3rd book... The Cabin...


...The house was not meant to be seen anymore. It had been ignored and neglected for so long, that it had grown accustomed to this state of perpetual being. It did not feel the need to be cared for. It had taken on a life of its own, an independent life that didn’t want to be bothered. The fact that nearly everyone living on the lake had forgotten its existence, was exactly what the house had intended. Because to forget the house had become the same thing as forgetting all that had happened there.
... Just as he left, the window blew open with such ferocity, that it stole Sarah’s breath away. A frigid gust of wind blew the photos out of the box one by one, and within mere seconds it stopped. Sarah looked around the room and stopped short. Each and every picture was lying face up, perfectly still and perfectly angled for her to see. An icy chill penetrated her body, as she realized that death was literally staring her in the face.
