"Playing Charades With the Deceased" Sneak Peek

Well..It's official. I have finished writing 100 pages of my upcoming book 'Playing Charades With the Deceased"!
I promised myself that I would share two pages of the book with the world and give you all a sneak peek at the contents....you know make you drool!

The book does not have a cover design yet, but as soon as it does, I will be taking pre-orders so be sure to stay tuned! I made the initial announcement on my Facebook Page asking the fans to pick a couple of pages - what a great response and thanks to all for participating. To make it easiest to decide, I went with an excerpt from the beginning of the book.


Without Further delay....here are pages 3-4..comments and feedback are most appreciated!

•  We asked questions of the spirits that would make contact with us, most of which were children with ages close to our own. In the beginning, the contact we made was innocent and lighthearted. We had lots of fun learning all about our new spirit friends. One day however, things turned around and what was once fun and innocent, turned into something that you'd see in a horror movie. The once good messages of getting to know you turned to messages of threats from spirits with the most unusual names - Inhuman names.
  
  We were at the point that all three of us were afraid to be alone in the house and sleep evaded us. It was time to get rid of the Ouija Board for good!
  
  
  The flying shot glass 
•  One of my most memorable Ouija board experiences was what I like to call “The Shot Glass Experiment”. The shot glass experiment wasn't really a planed experiment, in fact it was born out of desperation. After numerous contact with the ghosts that we believed were haunting our house, Derek, Margo and I were beginning to experience a type of mass hysteria amongst ourselves. The more we used the board, the more negative the messages would become and before we knew it, strange poltergeist type things were occurring.
  
  Things would move on their own. We would hear banging sounds throughout the house (and always in rooms that we were not in).
  
  We were freaked out on a regular basis and in an attempt to calm us, and in order to re-gain control of her hysterical children, our mother threw away the Ouija board for good. I can't say as I blame her. I mean we were out of control! Informing her that we had inside knowledge that our home was haunted and that Satan himself held the deed to it! Not to mention our constant screaming and running from invisible intruders.
  
  I'd have done the same thing if I were in her shoes.
  
  “Now what are we to do?” I asked my brother in disbelief that my only connection to the other side had been tossed in the trash. He had the perfect solution to my problem though, and suggested that we make a homemade board out of cardboard and use a shot-glass as the pointer.
  
  And so we went straight to work on creating the shot-glass experiment.
  
  When it was finished we went to it, much like little addicts looking to get our fix of the paranormal. There was no blessing of the board or calling in our guides to protect us before beginning. We were on a mission and we didn't know any better.
  
  The three of us sat at the table around the board. Each of us placed a couple of fingers on the rim of the shot-glass that had been turned upside down on the homemade board and we began. I asked if there was anyone in the room with us and the shot-glass went flying out from under our fingers across the board, then clear across the table finally landing somewhere in the middle of the kitchen floor.
  
  It wasn't thrown. It slid around as if there were....
