Well I survived the polar vortex (it wasn’t that bad here, enough that they closed the university so bonus days off) and I found out I got my sabbatical for next year so I’m thrilled.
Have a little more of the paranormal WIP These Haunted Hills. I’ve jumped a head a little. Brendan has been researching the haunted hotel’s past (Think H.H. Holmes’s murder palace in Chicago) and he’s been working on draft one of his new book in his lonely cabin in the deep woods. Josh is on his way over to set up equipment in the woods to look for the foxes Brendan heard.
He’d gotten lost in the world he was creating when Joshua’s knock nearly sent him out of his skin. Heart racing, he calmed himself. Ghosts and strange ax murderers lurking in the woods didn’t knock. Okay, ax killers didn’t. Ghosts just might.
Josh stood there in a T-shirt with a surly Batman holding a cup of coffee and the saying ‘not a morning person.’ Brendan would have to remember that. It wasn’t that he was one himself. Josh held a bulging backpack that looked ridiculously heavy. “I couldn’t get any students on short notice. Want to help me put these out in the woods?’
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!

Thanks (technically it’s a shirt not a mug and oh, it’s actually real. I think I saw it on amazon or tee spring)

Thanks (a motion sensitive camera but he gets to look all rugged setting it up)

Ghosts and ax murderers. Have heard the first knocking before and, you’re right, the second probably wouldn’t bother.
Nice snippet.

Thanks. Yep, ghosts definitely knock. Ax murderers not so much (I would imagine)
