“Your sweet little Virgil is my problem,” snapped Teddy. “He’s never late. You know he’s only late because he doesn’t want you to go.”

“Oh Teddy, be nice please,” asked Rebecca.

“Yeah, Teddy,” said Lisa, “be nice.”

“Oh you stay out of this Judas. I thought you were on my side,” Teddy declared.

“I have to spend two weeks abroad with your sister; right now I’m on her side,” explained Lisa, as she made puppy dog faces at him. Finally, there was a frantic knock at the door. TiTi Lucy stood up to answer it. She opened the door and there stood Virgil panting and searching for air, tightly holding onto a small bouquet of yellow roses.

Book blurb provided by author

Matthew Stone doesn’t believe in ghosts … until he meets one. He owns a successful business in Lake Havasu, Arizona, home to the famed London Bridge that was brought over stone by stone and rebuilt over the Colorado River. He has a gorgeous girlfriend, a doting mother, and more money than he needs, but no time for stories about the ghosts who were transplanted from England with the famed bridge. When a chance encounter with a female ghost leads to unexpected friendship, Matt and the ghost are forced to rely on each other as they confront the pasts that haunt them.

****

This is that rare ghost story that avoids all the pratfalls and clichés of the usual spectral and paranormal tale. Melissa Bowersock has intertwined two stories seamlessly – one a modern tale of a man taking responsibility for himself amid the shades of his own past, and the other the story of a young woman from a bygone era looking for release and redemption. You will keep turning the pages on this finely-crafted tale! —Rich Meyer, author

Just a few short moments later, Lisa and Teddy returned and sat on both sides of Rebecca as she slumped down on the bench outside, now feeling a little chilly. She folded her arms and closed her jacket tighter. She looked back and forth between her brother and her best friend for some words of encouragement or guidance.

“So,” said Lisa as she nudged Rebecca’s side.

“Yeah, ditto,” said Teddy.

“Oh you guys, what am I going to do?” asked Rebecca softly beginning to sob.

Teddy quickly spoke up. “I’m a great brother I know. I can make you laugh, cheer you up, and even take care of you when you’re sick, but advice is not my thing. Do you really want me here right now?”

Rebecca giggled a little. “You are a great brother Teddy. You can go, we’ll talk later.” Teddy swiftly rose from his seat, kissed Rebecca on the cheek, and patted Lisa’s head before darting off inside the cottage.
