The House on Summer Street

Well, there it is, on Amazon.



And here's a description:

A lot of things are happening all at once to Benjamin North. He’s starting middle school in a few weeks, his father has just remarried, which means that Ben now has a brand new stepmother (his dentist, of all people) and stepbrother (an annoying, nonstop eating machine), and on top of everything else, they’re all moving together into a new house that, to put it mildly, needs a little work. And if that weren’t enough, Ben discovers that the house seems to be haunted, a claim that no one else in his family believes.

But Ben finds an ally in his ghostly encounters. A mysterious girl in white whose name is Rose knows an awful lot about the dark history of this spooky old place. She will help Ben discover the deep secrets behind the spirits that roam these halls at night, and she promises to stand beside Ben when he finally faces the frightening truth of what is really going on in the house on Summer Street.


The process of getting it up on Amazon was pretty painless, even though there is no setting for the Save As that they wanted; the preview looked all right when I checked it, though. For the rest of it, you just click a few buttons, give them your tax info and your firstborn, and there you are. (For new members of the VCA, I outlined my adventures creating the cover a while back; as for writing the actual book, that was just, well, writing.)

If you want an audio sample, to wit, the first chapter, click over in the box on the top right of this screen.
