Spook

SpookBy: James H.

Yes, life in Sanhedrin will surely be better for her and her family. But this notion of a better life shatters when Paulie finds herself the victim of a witch's curse-one that threatens the peace and well-being of the town of Sanhedrin, and all the people in it. Can she break the curse, or will darkness consume her and the town?About the AuthorJames H. Smith IV was born in Lincoln, NE, and graduated from the University of NE Lincoln.
