There it stood lazing on a slope outside its owner's home in a small town in the Aussie bush.
All seemed lost for me.
Indeed, I had lost everything and I was homeless, penniless, jobless and friendless.
The end of the world and the end of my life, I thought.
But no.
Destiny or fate or chance, call it what you will, that all changed in the flash of an eye.
The precious files to a mystery which was all started by a ghost, a real ghost, landed in my lap.
Pow!!!
Next thing I knew I was out of the caravan and on a plane flying across the Pacific Ocean on my way to New York.
As if that wasn't enough to swallow, I was on my way to New York to meet a woman I'd never met.
Little did I know then that, quite unexpectedly, I was settling in for a romantic 6 months with a beautiful school teacher from New Jersey that I hadn't seen coming.
Well, that started an adventure i could not have planned.
And yes, it's a real ghost story too.
Subscribe to my blog or, better still, read the book.
It's a page-turner, I promise you.
Until next time.
