This book is more than a chilling ghost story, it is about the bond between two young women across the span of time and boundaries of death. I enjoyed it very much. This talented author is a force to be reckoned with. Can't wait to read the next one.
- Gwyn Duffy, Screenwriter
It's been a couple of months now since Hunting the Haunting was launched and though sales are way below the level of excitement, I'm still pretty awed by the whole ordeal.
Two months have gone by and I'm working on my next novel - slightly aside from the theme of HTH, but still just as riveting, I promise.
Here's the catch.
I'm itching.
That's right - itching! My mind is spinning faster than I can keep up and I have all sorts of ideas rolling around, gathering momentum and threatening to explode. Doesn't sound so bad, being a writer, does it? Isn't that what is supposed to happen? Yeah, sure, I guess. However not when all those tumbleweeds of ideas conflict with each other. Then it becomes a mayhem. A riotous cacophony of characters, plots, scenes, etc. I have ghosts speaking to me, houses demanding attention and fascinating characters chock full of emotion and troubles.
And I can't scratch a damn one of these itches! There's too many. I'm outnumbered and overwhelmed.
I am making incredible progress on lengthening the short story I wrote a couple of weeks ago - as of yet still untitled. And I love it. Penny Lovewise is a woman who really knows how to tell her story and she's speaking loud and clear.. Oh, oh, oh.. See, now I have even more ideas for that story, which would require revamping the entire thing. UGH!
The life of a writer isn't all easy -breezy- delicacy.
Now, if I was only writing, devoting 8 hours to the craft instead of my day job, well maybe then I could organize the jumble inside my mind, on my post-it idea board and upon all the many pieces of notebook paper floating around like white moths.
At least my mind is working and I'm not in the sink-mud of writer's block. I have to count my blessings when I can....
itch....itch....itch.....
Jo.
