It was the last thing no-nonsense State Policeman Jeff McDonald expected to find while investigating the death of beautiful Caroline Fleming.  It was the either a diary or work on her new novel.  Did people type their diaries?  Whatever it was, it was more than he could believe.  She had written     

     Last night a ghost made love to me.  Yes, a ghost.  No human form.  No dream either.  A warm presence with soft lips, a rough beard, a probing tongue, incredible hands, and wonderful, working body parts.  There was no doubt ... all the physical reminders were there later.  Moreover, it was not the first time, but the second.  This time was in my bed, the first in the bathroom.  He came to me like any horny man who had been without a woman for half a century.  And he was good!     

    This novel, Caroline’s House, is set on the rugged Oregon coast, where I grew up.  It tell the story of a woman returning to her childhood town, renewing old acquaintances, settling down in a house reputed to be haunted, and falling in love with a local man.  Their happy lives are torn asunder by forces of evil … so evil they destroyed everything they touched.  Can deep friendships and love can reach beyond the grave?     

    The people who knew Caroline will find out, as will the readers of this 102,700+-word book of passion, mystery, murder, paranormal, and humor.  They will come to understand the characters and empathize with them.  My proofreaders commented that they got teary and laughed aloud along with Caroline, Larry, Georgia, Doc, and most of all Malcolm who is the force behind it all.
