about me

I have written three books and continue to write. I have also published several articles in a few different magazines. My first two books, "The Exiles Next Door" & "The New Book of Acts" are Non-Fiction books on Spirituality. My third book, "A Ghost of Fire," is a Paranormal Thriller novel and the first in a projected four part series.

I am seeking representation for "A Ghost of fire." it's currently self-published and I've sold several copies (and not just to friends and family) but I'm not satisfied keeping it there.

The book is complete at just over 118,000 words.

A Ghost of Fire

Sam Whittaker

An old school ghost story with a contemporary twist.


Steve Nicholas wasn't looking for drama. He was just looking for a job. But once he lands a position at a respectable data processessing company as a janitor strange things start to happen. There's the smell of smoke and the echoes of childlike laughter. But these inexplicable things are only the beginning of something much more menacing. He soon begins to have increasingly terrifying dreams and to experience ghostly encounters when he's awake. It won't be long until Steve finds himself caught in the middle of warring supernatural forces. If he isn't careful he might get burned...or worse.

Right now you need to focus primarily on issues of grammar and punctuation. I'm noticing a lot of sentences which need restructuring and suffering from tense problems. Examples: Paragraph 1: "incristed" should be "encrusted." Paragraph 2: TWICE in this paragraph you have "Sophie sister" when it ... view book

This is good. And I don't mean just "pretty good," but "holy crap, that's good!" That kind of good. Every once in a while someone here on authonomy puts out something that is really, truly worthy of note. I think this could be one of those. Normally I have a good, solid handful of critiques to... view book

Having experience in leadership and having read my fair share of leadership material I would say this is pretty good. You raise some interesting points (Inspiration vs. Problem solving I felt was a good one). The material you have is fairly sound, so I don't have much in the way of critique there. ... view book

Diana, Just read a portion of the book and I like it! It's quite different from other things on here I've read. It has a good sort of down to earth, localized feel yet the way it references larger events (WWII) connects it to larger realities. The language isn't over complicated, which is righ... view book

Okay, let's start with the stuff that I like. 1.) It's timely. Here's a book that speaks about what is happening right now in a part of the world most of us will never end up visiting. I think there's a niche for this. 2.) It's written on a popular level. It's not academic, it's not didactic, ... view book
