Cheryl,

Came by your site for a visit and am certainly glad I did. I am always impressed by writers who can take a supernatural/horror theme such as this, omit all genre 'crutches' such as profanity and gross out gore, and still pen a haunting tale that hangs with the reader long after the tale has been ingested. Bravo.

oh my gosh, what a gut-wrenching, perfectly written, horrific story. As the plain Jane sandwiched between 2 pretty sisters, I get this in the worst way. My heart hurts. I bow before your awesome talent!
