    About this series

    Terry McDonald lives at the edge of the Snowy Mountains in eastern Australia. Her grandfather owns a large station at the head of the Murray River where it leaves those mountains to travel across a vast interior of mostly barren land.

    Grandfather raised Terry on that station and it’s her life. She’s never been any further from home than the town of Albury. Work on a cattle station is a full time job and fills her days with purpose and satisfaction. Riding the hills and valleys of the upper Murray River is about as close to heaven as a person can get. She can’t think of anything better than the rugged life of a jillaroo in the Australian outback.

    When her workday ends, she climbs to the little graveyard up from the house. She talks to mom and tells her all about the exciting little things that happen each day. She doesn’t talk to dad. He isn’t in their cemetery. Terry doesn’t know where he is. Nobody will talk about him, like it’s some great secret. But that’s a minor thorn in Terry’s life because she has a loving grandfather and about anything else she might want.

    But when everything you have is taken away, life can become devastating. Survival depends on being able to grasp something of substance. Terry has nothing. Only a vague wish to know who she is. Events beyond her control will send Terry to America, searching through the mists of time for a ghost she never knew.

      The year is 1985, and Elizabeth Montgomery has settled into the predictable routine of urban survival. Life at thirty-two, just isn’t the same as when she was twenty-one. She is amazed at the few short years it took to knock the shine off. Parties, shopping, flying Ultra-light Aircraft, skiing, biking... all are things of the past. Advancement at work is no longer possible, and what little time she has with her boyfriend, doesn’t seem as fulfilling as it should. Her future looming horribly, boringly, clear. Well, not quite. Just when her days are looking the bleakest, it gets worse. It’s the little things that sometimes forces you off the beaten path, and when the security of the familiar is ripped away, life can suddenly become scary. Losing a good job and discovering her boyfriend with another woman, drives Elizabeth into the deepest despair she has ever known. An invitation from her sister to come visit, now seems the only thing left in life to cling to. Events beyond her control will send Liz on an adventure into an exciting new world with a future shrouded in shadows. And lurking in those shadows, is a danger that will follow on the journey to her sisters ranch in far away Montana. Traveling north in her brothers old 57 Chevy on a lonely Wyoming highway, she begins to experience new and strange feelings. Being alone in the dark of a moonless night, can be scary and fascinating at the same time! John Anderson is not stuck in the predictable existence of... anything. He’s perfectly content with a profitable ranch and an occasional contract job with the government. The Crystal Lake valley is surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks, and vast, untamed wilderness areas border his property in western Montana. What more could a man want? Life is as perfect as he could ask for, or so he thought. Someone is about to come to the valley who will change his life forever.

    Doug Summerfield

    Author Doug Summerfield lives in the Denver area and spends most of his writing time in the mountains of Colorado. A peaceful place, where time stands still if you will only let it. Writing is a slow process. It takes time to create and shape something extraordinary. Something to brighten the everyday world with excitement and hopefully let us see life is out there just waiting for us to... go for it! Most of us spend a lifetime trying to get ahead, from the excitement and promise of youth through middle age and the graceful rest of retirement. Many, just content to survive and others foraging ahead to whatever future awaits them. It’s a journey, a lifetime journey we only get one shot at. Too many times we bypass life in our quest for, whatever. We miss many important events that could be earth-shattering if we would only recognize what is coming our way. It’s the journey, not the destination we should enjoy on our travels. It’s the same with a good book. What is the character feeling. Hearing and thinking. What would you do in the same situation? Would you like to be there? Is your life heading the same way? Most stories are going somewhere, but if we miss the excitement as we travel on, we miss much of life. Read slow. Let the words carry you away to imaginary places we seldom get to see unless we occasionally look about and realize there is a whole world out there going by in the distance.
