Beschreibung

There may be more to an empty room than meets the eye. You may just find that you're not alone. WITH THREE NOVELETTES! Candy's Story Candy Townsend enjoyed her life as a young bartender in the city of New Orleans. Sure, she had a complicated relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Brad, but she was in love with a new man and was hopeful for the future. Sadly, her life, and her future, changed forever after one fateful night. Candy struggled in her new state of being, until nearly a year later, when a young woman with a special ability entered her apartment. A young woman named Hazel Watson. *** Hazel's Story Hazel Watson had newly graduated from law school and it was time for her to move into her own apartment and join the adult world. Something she was admittedly dreading. Unfortunately, the only place she could afford in the popular city of New Orleans had a reputation for being haunted. Undeterred, and desperate to find a place of her own, she moved in regardless. Using her hereditary ability to communicate with the dead, she befriends her new apartment's resident ghost and teams up with the feisty spirit to help other lost souls she encounters. *** Haunted Holiday: The Soldier in the Stone Room Settled into a new apartment with her spirit, best-friend, Candy, Hazel Watson prepares for her first Christmas as a fully functional adult. Her career as an attorney at the Public Defender's office was demanding, so a little rest and relaxation was on her agenda. What Hazel does not need is a new ghost in her life, or a new obligation. So, when the spirit of a Confederate soldier shows up in her dreams, and in her bedroom, Hazel must figure out who he is and how he died so he can move on.

C. A. Varian was raised in Lockport, Louisiana, into an often-low-income household. She spent a lot of her childhood fishing, crabbing, and playing school. She loved pretending to be the teacher and assigning work to her cousins. Her love of reading started very young, where she used to complete several books per week in elementary school so she could earn a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut. Even once free pizzas were no longer an option, she still steadily read novels, usually above the reading level for her age group, and loved visiting the library to stock up on books. She started writing poetry and short stories while still in junior high through high school, although she stopped writing, at least for fun, once she had children and went to college. Thankfully, her writing hiatus ended, and she resumed her love for writing.She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, as well as a Master's degree in History. She also worked towards getting her teaching certification. She did almost all of her college education while also being the mother of two children. After graduating from college, she began teaching public school, a career that she continues to this day, currently teaching special education at a local middle school. She's married to a retired military officer, so she spent many years moving around for his career, but they now live in central Alabama, with her youngest daughter, Arianna. Her oldest daughter, Brianna, no longer lives at home and is engaged to be married. She has two Shih Tzus that she considers her children. Boy, Charlie, and girl, Luna, are their mommy's shadows. She also has three cats: Ramses, Simba, and Cookie, as well as five chickens and two ducks.
