About the author:
C. Evenfall grew up in a small fishing village in Eastern North Carolina. The area was rich with history, ghost stories and unexplained phenomenon; all fodder for the vivid imaginings of a young girl. She began “collecting” stories at a young age.
At aged six, C. Evenfall experienced the paranormal firsthand and has been seeking answers ever since. Her fascination with the unexplainable and her love for old family ghost stories inspired her to write a collection of novellas. Each inspired by the experiences passed down through her family for generations.
C. Evenfall resides on the Carolina Coast with her husband, a self-proclaimed skeptic. She loves him anyway and the two complement each other perfectly.

GUEST POST
How Do You Know You Have Never Seen a Ghost?
As a person who believes in the existence of ghosts and many things paranormal, I find the topic fascinating. My ears tune in when I draw near to a ghostly conversation. My family however, is split on the topic. One side is skeptical and takes the stand that they are unsure, the other, my side, is always at the ready with an argument for our case.
The truth is that about 45% of Americans believe in ghosts! Why is that number so high unless there are valid reasons for it? Well, according to the Huffington Post, we believe because it is comforting. The life after death concept gives us hope that there is much more to our existence. Hmmm, well, my own experience was far from comforting. In fact, it was downright frightening.
The very idea that my essence may stick around after I am gone makes me wonder if that is what I would truly want. After all, wouldn’t most of us prefer to know that there is some kind of reward at the end of this race? I would, not sure that I want to hang around and I am certain that I would not wish to frighten anyone…well maybe a couple of people.
Just because someone considers them self a believer, does not mean that they have the answers. Quite the contrary, we believers have more questions than non-believers do.
Since I started writing paranormal fiction, I have been bombarded with questions about the after-life and more specifically the topic of ghosts. I suppose people think that because I write about it, I must have some inside information. Unfortunately, I do not. The only sources I have are my own experiences and those shared with me by people whom I believe and trust.
For all of those folks who say they do not believe because they have not yet seen, I ask this, how do you know you have never seen a ghost? It is quite possible that everyone has seen one; they just did not know it.

Love the cover looks so cool great job.
I enjoyed reading the description. This book sounds like an interesting read! I will totally have to add it to my "to-read" list.
The "life after" it will be always the biggest hope of the humans, even if not all of them recognize that.
