    About this ebook

    She didn't believe the old ghost story about the woman who hung herself - until she learned the truth. Until she had to deal with it all by herself.

    A short and eerie ghost story of the love that a maritime father had for his only daughter.

    This supernatural tale is set in Dalhousie University in the Nova Scotia city of Halifax. I know that anyone who has ever spent anytime in Shirreff's Hall thinks that they know the story of Penelope's ghost, but I guarantee that you have never heard it told like this.

    Steve Vernon

    Everybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll try to entertain you and I guarantee a giggle as well.If you want to picture me just think of that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the mighty saber-toothed tiger.If I listed all of the books I've written I'd most likely bore you - and I am allergic to boring so I will not bore you any further. Go and read some of my books. I promise I sound a whole lot better in print than in real life. Heck, I'll even brush my teeth and comb my hair if you think that will help any.For more up-to-date info please follow my blog at:http://stevevernonstoryteller.wordpress.com/And follow me at Twitter:@StephenVernonyours in storytelling,Steve Vernon

      COLLEGE IS NO BIG DEAL.

      Don’t let anyone tell you any different. College is nothing more than a safety net that you jump into from grade twelve. For some of us that safety net became a kind of spider web that you either wove into a cocoon or a burial shroud.

      That’s how it goes with some folks. Some people like to tiptoe up on life. They sneak at it, with tiny little baby steps, creeping up on the future as if they were afraid that something was about to pounce and grab hold of them from out of the shadows. You start with your basic bachelor degree and step up to your masters – just to be safe. Follow that with a PhD because you want to be sure you’d done everything just right.

      College was comfortable, like your bed in the morning. Sometimes you just didn’t want to get out of it. For those who were very careful or very lucky you never had to
