Banshee

by Margaret Marr

A banshee screams in the night delivering a warning to four teenagers bent on uncovering what is going on in the mountains of Hayton County. Unnatural creatures roam the hills. If they don't back off, death may follow, leaving them shocked and bereft.

About the author

What I wouldn't do to return to childhood one more time and experience fishing from the bank as a little girl, especially in the dark. I'm country to the core. I fish, camp, swim in the lake, eat from a garden, drive a pickup truck, work outside, live in jeans and T-shirts, and my accent is a blend of country and southern. My favorite get-together is a barbecue in the back yard. I prefer tea to beer, but prefer Diet Coke over both those. I prefer the Outback Steak House to The Four Seasons Restaurant. I believe in God and the saving grace of His son Jesus. I believe in miracles and fairy tales, and I learned the secret of hope from a Dean Koontz novel (Frankenstein: City of Night).

I have an unstoppable curiosity about the world around me. I want to explore the coast of North Carolina, explore as many castles of the world as I can, visit haunted places all over the United States, and I absolutely love old graveyards! I know, it sounds a bit morbid, but I love all things strange and unusual. I want to see Australia someday, visit Ireland, Italy and Egypt.

During the summer months I like to swim, hike, camp, fish and just be outdoors. Other hobbies include reading, writing poetry, and exploring the Internet. I also love music! I listen to country, 80's rock and some 90's rock. Bon Jovi is my favorite rock band, followed by Savage Garden, Aerosmith, Matchbox Twenty & Green Day. In country, Gary Allan & Tim McGraw are my favorites. I also like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Sara Evans, Trisha Yearwood, Clay Walker, Kellie Coffey, Chad Brock, Rodney Atkins. I could go on and on! My favorite Christian Rock band is Petra. I also like Point of Grace, Steven Curtis Chapman and Carmen.

I love pretty pictures, puppies and kitties and have a soft spot for soldiers. Daisies are my favorite flowers. Ideals, Cowboy & Indians, and Fate are among my favorite magazines. I love the smell of vanilla, honey-suckle, and Stetson Cologne for men. My favorite cartoons are Scooby Doo and Rocko's Modern Life and Pinky & The Brain.
