New Release: 'Moonlight and Ghosts'

My short story "Moonlight and Ghosts" has been released as a Kindle e-book by Vanilla Heart Publishing. It's also available in multiple formats at Smashwords.

Publisher's Description: On a moonlit night, Randy's intuition is drawing him back to an abandoned psychiatric hospital where he once worked. He and his friend, Alice, have heard the ghost hunters' claims the building is haunted, filled with strange lights, apparitions and the voices of former patients calling for help. The Forgotten point Randy and Alice to a crime in progress... and there's not much time to save the victim.

Many years ago, I worked as a unit manager at a center for the developmentally disabled. Unfortunately, my finances wouldn't allow me to stay in such a low paying position for long. When I left, I felt rather guilty about it because I had developed a strong enough rapport with the residence to help them learn daily living skills and, in some cases, become capable of going into sheltered workshops.

In Moonlight and Ghosts, I turned my memories and guilt into a ghost story, complete with an abandoned psychiatric hospital and a crime in progress that the main character needs to figure out.

This is my first release since Sarabande came out during the summer of 2011. It's fun having something new to talk about!
