My younger siblings cried out, as Mother was packing her stuff up. "Because, my flowers, we must go to find somethings that will keep us alive." Mother replied smoothly. I'll admit, I didn't want to leave either, but I thought of it as an adventure. "Just think, we'll be going on a journey! It'll be fun!" I cried out. "Oh yay! An adventure!" They cried out, and I smiled. With their spirits up, it rose my spirits. Maybe we'll survive this. Slowly, but surely surviving.

Ghosts of People Past
Ghosts of People Past begins with a series of mysterious events that happen to fifty-year-old Nora one snowy night in a remote mountain village of Western Macedonia, Greece. Upon returning home from a cousin’s funeral, she finds an email on her computer from the Algerian archaeology student she once nearly loved to death. This triggers off a surge of memories and reopens unresolved issues with her past, the closure she never got and the guilty secrets she has harbored. With the help of a bottle of whisky and her resurrected cat, she begins to dust off her memories and starts to write her life story determined to finish it in one night before it is too late. From Boston to Thessaloniki and from Rome to Algeria she narrates the events of her life that stigmatized her forever: her expulsion from her home in Boston by her parents, the cultural shock of moving to Greece, her doomed love for a Muslim student in the hard and gloomy years of the Greek dictatorship in Greece. Her communication with her ex-boyfriend via MSN unravels on a second plane of narration and leads to dramatic revelations which force Nora to face a past she has spent years struggling to forget. The dimensions of time mesh in a strange game of alternating reality and fantasy right up to the books cathartic end. You can find me at:Complete
