Would take the chance of playing with a Ouija board?
The Ouija board can often open channels to the wrong kinds of spirits and bring horror to those who ventured into playing the game.
Kate Landen, a best-selling author, falls in love with Curt—the man of her dreams—marries him, and looks forward to a life of happiness. When a friend is murdered after using the Ouija board with Kate, an evil being follows her and her new husband home. As she writes her next thriller about a serial killer, the possessed one gets into her head through telepathy to learn what she is writing to use as a script for his life of crime. Curt's suspicious nighttime absences make Kate wonder where and what he is doing away from home. Her life becomes a real nightmare.
Can Kate save herself from the horrors in her own creativity and find her own happy ending?
Excerpt
Kate hurried to the kitchen, glanced up at the clock, and scowled.
Curt should have been back by now.
It didn’t take long for the water in the kettle to boil. She took her cup of tea back to the office and began to write again.
The place had closed. She placed Hooch in the parking lot waiting for the pretty little thing to appear from the back door. All the lights had been turned off and everyone but the young woman had left the place. Only her car and one other was left in the parking lot. When the girl appeared in the doorway, he crept closer. As she closed the door and locked it, he moved in.
Kate’s hands trembled, so she stopped again. “Oh, hell, I’ll finish it tomorrow.” When she turned the computer off and stood up, she heard a voice.
That was good, I know just where to go from here.
Startled, she jumped and knocked the papers off her desk. “What the hell is that?” she shrieked as she searched the room with her eyes. Seeing nothing in the room, she hurried out of there to search the apartment. Her hand touched the radio dial—it may have been turned on—but it wasn’t. Quick steps took her to the living room.
The clock on the mantel read two in the morning. Where was Curt? The silence in the apartment felt oppressive. She turned the light on next to the sofa. Shivering with cold, she sat on the sofa, tucked her legs up under her, and wrapped up in the blanket laid out on the back of it. She searched with her eyes, back and forth across the room, trying to suppress the fear that grew inside of her.

Title: An Author's Nightmare
Sub Title:
Kate Landen is a best-selling author but not of romance. No she is a talented author of crime and loves writing the stories. Writing is her whole life so she never has time for real romance until she meets Curt. He is everything she never thought she would have in her life. He is sweet, romantic, sexy and he is all hers. Just like a fairy tale they marry yet like all marriages she doubts her husband. Each night he leaves and this confuses her. Along with his disappearing she starts hearing voices in her head. Not a nice voice but one that is sinister and gives her chills every day. The only comfort she has from this voice is her writing. Yet what's most strange is that her writings are coming to life.
As an author this is great but the parts that are coming to life are the ones that she knows are gruesome and violent. Her best friend is dead because of her and now others are dying by a dozen. Each time she writes something happens. As a writer she knows she has a gift but she never thought this gift would become life like. Curt has no idea what is going on but knows his wife is afraid. He knows he is not the strong hero like in her stories but wants more than ever to find the killer that is in her head. Is she going crazy or are stories coming to life without her knowing?
An Author's Nightmare is one chilling story that will make you grip the pages wanting to find out who the killer is. Is Kate imagining things or are they for real? This is something that kept going around and around in my mind. The author is very talented for teasing this reviewer and her readers will love it. Each killing that occurs is one that will make you wonder why and what part does Kate have in everything. The suspense is definitely there but so is the horror of finding out who the killer is? Not only does Jennifer Robins have a clever mind but also she has such an imaginative mind for creating this suspenseful novel.
