Out of the Mist now published


Our Out of the Mist anthology of Atlantic Canadian Ghost stories that I mentioned in my previous post is now up on Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and Createspace.com.  Links are as follows:http://www.amazon.com/Out-Mist-Atlantic.../dp/0993833802

I have two stories in this anthology.  The first concerns a real neighbourhood cat but with an ending that involves the ghost of said cat.  The second concerns a man who is asked to tell a ghost story by his granddaughter and her little friends.  He makes up a story, but learns later that there are eerie parallels to a real story from years ago that he knew nothing about and some actual events that were occurring at the time he was telling the story.   Could these have been coincidental or was some other force influencing the development of his story?

Ten colleagues in a local writing group produced the other stories.  Many of them are more traditional 'ghost stories' with haunted houses and skeletons in graveyards.
