First off, thanks so much for reading
Lineage
. It’s readers like you who make independent writers like
myself
yearn to create more. Also, I’d like to take a moment to tell a little about
Lineage
’s background and how it came to be.
Lineage
came to me in bits and pieces after I’d published
Midnight Paths
in October of 2011. As I said in the foreword, I’ve always been in love with ghost stories. The best I’ve ever read is
The Shining
, hands down. No other book has literally jolted me from the story with what was on the pages. A well-written ghost story has always been the pinnacle of scary for me, so I decided that I would write something contemporary with enough twists to keep people guessing. Several of the scenes within the story came from experiences in my everyday life, like the part where Lance is looking at his phone in the middle of the night and then sees the face of a ghost looking at him. I was looking at my phone one night, and when I shut it off, I was blind from the light of the screen. I
thought,
What if there is a face, inches away, looking at me right now?
Scared the hell of out of me, and I logged it for the story.
Lineage
was a labor of love over a six-month period, and as I wrote it I surprised myself with where the story actually went. Most times the story takes on a life of its own, but this time it was alive without my realizing it!
In any event, I hope that you enjoyed the dark journey, and as always, any feedback and reviews on Amazon are greatly appreciated! If you would like to keep up with me and my upcoming projects, please find my author page on

Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for spending your hard-earned dollars and time on something I created. There is no better feeling a writer can have than knowing a complete stranger enjoys their work.
