Wonderful New Book from Penny Lockwood. Ghostly Visions,a dual offering of Ghost For Lunch and Ghost for Rent.

The lovely and talented Penny Lockwood is my guest. I know you'll enjoy getting to know her better and exploring her newest offering Ghostly Visions.


Wendy Wiles attracts ghosts, first in Ghost for Rent, when her parents separate and she, her brother, and mother move into a haunted house. The story begins in Portland, Oregon and quickly moves to small town, Scappoose, Oregon. Miserable at leaving her friends and beloved Portland behind, Wendy meets her neighbor Jennifer who tells her the house Wendy’s mom rented is haunted. After two of them appear to Wendy, the girls find themselves tracking down the mystery of who the ghosts are and why they "live" in the Wiles' home.

In Ghost for Lunch, Wendy’s friend, Jennifer, moves away, leaving Wendy sad until new neighbors and their restaurant in St. Helens bring ghosts back into Wendy's life. She, her brother, and their new friend discover the two cases are connected. Once again, the young sleuths use clues and lots of brainstorming to figure out who is haunting the restaurant.

Ghostly Visions is available direct from the publisher 4RV Publishing LLC for $15.99 including shipping and handling. It can also be ordered from your local bookstore with the following ISBN numbers: ISBN-10: 0982642326, ISBN-13: 978-0982642320, or through Amazon,

I've had the pleasure of working with Penny and I can tell you she is an excellent author and a fine person, to boot. If you have young people in your family or in your circle of friends be sure to augment your library with all of Lockwood's works. You won't be sorry. Money well spent! If you're looking for some summer romance reading, be sure to get your copy of Love Delivery, Lady in Waiting, and Mirror, Mirror.

I have an exciting new opportunity!

I've been offered an exciting new opportunity by my publisher, Books We Love. A terrific author who we have lost, Pat Dale, is being kept alive by his literary executor. Pat's wife has agreed to let me revamp and re-release Pat's work. Currently, The Last Cowboy is available on Amazon and where good books are sold. This is the first of the re-releases.
Here's the cover by Michelle Lee. You can click on the cover to be taken to a buy link.



The next book will be The Teddy Dialogues. Pat has created a wonderful character. Teddy is dog with a unique voice and personality who lives with his person and takes fixing up her love life into his own paws. He has a pararmour of his own as well, much to the dismay of the poodle's owner. Pat's original short story will form the basis for the dialogues and I will create two or three stories gleaned from Pat's work. It promises to be an entertaining and excellent read.
