THE REVIEW

GUEST REVIEWER

Jason and his son, Tristan, joined Wendy, Jim, Margaret and me for a Meeting on Wednesday. Lorelei was parent minding and Ellie was preparing for company.

Tristan, who is eight, started the evening by giving a very comprehensive review of Jim’s novel “Coventry Ghosts, Book I”. He thought the plot was very creative and especially liked that Sara, the kitten ghost, could talk and that she hated being called a ‘cat’. Tristan found the prologue memorable because it should how Leanne died by being hit by a dump truck in front of the coffee house she later haunted. And he found it especially funny when the ghost were trying to stop John from gambling and they caused his mechanical problems with his car so he couldn’t reach the casino and race track. When the horses were going to start a race, the ghosts prevented the gates from opening as well. Tristan said he really enjoyed the book and thought it was neat. We were amazed how eloquent he was reviewing the book. Smart young lad.

Margaret F. is has decided to write her “Babes In The Woods” book as a journal of her investigation and read us the first chapter from when she started in 1995, and telling us how the thought of two young children being found dead and nobody claiming their bodies had haunted her since she was quite young.

Wendy read her poem “An Ending” again for those who hadn’t heard it and it was still extremely powerful to those hearing it for the second time.

Jim read Chapter 33 from “Coventry Ghosts – Book II”. Joel board a submarine in Halifax and Sara joins him on it. He was concerned about the noise accompanying Sara when she pops in or out of physical reality and asked her if she could reduce it so as not to jeopardize the mission. She stared experimenting and was able to achieve her ‘stealth mode’ so she would be undetected by the living.

I read a new “Honey” story called “Friday The Thirteenth” about events experienced with Honey down at the Legion with some of the unusual characters who attend there on the weekends.

For our website, I have collected some new pictures and a few bios and am waiting for Sonny to
return from a military conference he is attending in Jordan before I forward them to him. But I am still waiting to hear from a few of you. Your new or revised bios would be appreciated if I haven’t received them yet or talked to you about the website. Please don’t forget. Thanks.

The next Meeting will be Wednesday, October 2nd at 7:00 p.m. here at my place. Look forward to seeing you then. Happy writing!
