I originally wrote the book in the early 2000's and it needed a tremendous amount of work to get it on par with the quality of the later books in the series. I hope readers old and new will enjoy this new and improved version of the story.*** AWARDS: The Golden Bean Awards: First Place (Horror) The Twilight Awards: First Place (Paranormal) The Raven's Quill Awards: Second Place (Overall) The Triple Moon Awards: Second Place (Best Friendship: Jade & Beth) The Enchanted Grave Awards: Second Place (Best Cursed Title) The Writer At Heart Awards: Third Place (Horror)
