Pacific Northwest Adventure
Mischief, Secrets, and Lies
Beginning of Chapter One
Seven Devils Road
Coos Bay, Oregon
Tawny peered out of the car window as the last traces of daylight disappeared from the sky. By day, the forest along Seven Devils Road was picturesque—moss clung to towering Douglas firs, thick carpets of ferns spread alongside huckleberry bushes, and wildflowers bordered the two-lane road.
At night, it felt menacing.
This lonely stretch of road on the Oregon Coast was the worst place imaginable to be stranded—few cars and no homes. Something odd was going on. It was too quiet. There wasn’t any frogs croaking, no birds singing, and the wind had abruptly ceased.
Paranormal Ghost Romance
A Haunted House Story
Beginning of Chapter One
Coos Bay, Oregon
David Hawkins jerked upright, his breath catching in his throat. A jolt of pain knifed through his injured leg. A shadowy figure was beneath the covers on the other side of his bed.
Where had it come from? More importantly—what was it?
David swung his legs over the edge of the mattress, slid out, and snapped on the Tiffany lamp. Light streamed through the stained glass, casting amber, red, and blue across the dark walls, dresser, and oak wardrobe.
