Hale Marcum was a witness to a horrific crime—trouble is, he was sleeping at the time.
Automatic writing is a skill that Hale would prefer to do without. Living alone in Placerville, California, he defines himself as author, not a psychic. Yet, when strange text appears at his bedside, and neatly typed within the pages of his manuscript, he can’t ignore the possibility that he could prevent a murder.
Together with his editor, Nadiya Kingsley, he tracks a killer and a body in a glass coffin. But he gets too close, and his life takes a dangerous turn when Nadiya disappears and Hale is stalked in his own home.
Can Hale find Nadiya before the killer buries her too? Or before the police decide that he’s been the murderer all along?
The Ghost Writer is a fast-paced, 75,000-word thriller that places you into the mind of a writer who wants nothing more than to craft mysteries, rather than end up in the middle of them time and again. The story won "Best Non-Romance" while posted on Fiction Press. I hope you enjoy it.
