What Did They See & The Lovers teasers


These are two teasers for the stories I am currently working on. The former will be coming out soon. The latter is a special one that I am very proud of but I am still working on.

What Did They See? The Children's Stories: Twelve chapters, twelve stories told by the ghosts of the children who fell victim to the menacing specter of doom, darkness, and death: The Woman in Black.

The LoverS: A story about two people who are on a journey to discover their origins and break the spells placed upon them. "Once the Fruit has been eaten, the Journey begins." is a reference to the Garden of Eden. The Fruit is the Fruit of Knowledge. After it has been eaten, a journey begins once the knowledge has been acquired.

What Did They See Excerpt: The First Glimpse

This is an excerpt from the first chapter: Nicholas: The First Glimpse:


We finally reached the beach. The sand shuffled under our shoes. The breeze created waves on the blue water. It was still sunny, but gray clouds began to cover the sky. The seagulls were talking to each other in the way they do. We searched for a spot to build our sandcastles. While Robert kept looking, I looked at the vast marshland. I could see the distant wooden cross that stood in the mud. The mud that had trapped the carriage and Nathaniel’s body. They couldn’t get either out. I wondered would they ever try again.

Past the site was Eel Marsh Island. The trees covered up the large stone house where the Drablows used to live. The sky over the island was a dark gray and spooky. It was like Heaven was showing that the place was forever cursed and no one should come there. No one had been on the island since Mr. & Mrs. Drablow went to India after the accident. But they would come back. Every time they would leave the house or come back to it, they would pass their son. The son they took care of. The son they took from her.

Coming Soon: What Did They See? The Children's Stories

This is an idea inspired by the 2012 movie "The Woman in Black." It is mainly told by the perspectives of the innocent victims of Jennet Humfrye, the wronged woman who would return from death as the eponymous dark specter. Most of the stories are in first person. This is a story that answers the question "What Did They See?"
