Braxton Campus Mysteries Collection - Books 5-8

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is not an achievement an individual person can accomplish on his or her own. There are always people who contribute in a multitude of ways, sometimes unwittingly, throughout the journey from discovering the idea to drafting the last word. Haunted House Ghost: Death at the Fall Festival, the fifth book in the Braxton Campus Mysteries, has had many supporters since its inception in May 2019, but before the concept even sparked in my mind, others nurtured my passion for writing.

Haunted House Ghost: Death at the Fall FestivalFirst thanks go to my parents, Jim and Pat, for always believing in me as a writer and teaching me how to become the person I am today. Their unconditional love and support have been the primary reason I"m accomplishing my goals. Through the guidance of my extended family and friends, who consistently encouraged me to pursue my passion, I found the confidence to take chances in life. With Winston and Baxter by my side, I was granted the opportunity to make my dreams of publishing this novel come true. I"m grateful to everyone for pushing me each day to complete this seventh book.

Haunted House Ghost was cultivated through the interaction, feedback, and input of several talented beta readers. I"d like to share a special call-out to Shalini for supplying insight and perspective during the development of the story, setting, and character arcs. I am indebted to her for countless conversations helping me to fine-tune every aspect of this tale. There were also several amazing members of the team who found most of my proofreading misses, grammar mistakes, and awkward phrases; I couldn"t have completed this wonderful story without Laura, Lisa, Anne, Tyler, Nina, Anne, Valerie, and Misty. A major thanks to everyone for encouraging me to be stronger in my word choice and providing several pages of suggestions to convert good language into fantastic language. Any mistakes are my own from misunderstanding our discussions.

Haunted House GhostMuch gratitude to all my friends and mentors at Moravian College. Although no murders have ever taken place there, the setting of this series is loosely based on my former multi-campus school set in Pennsylvania. Most of the locations are completely fabricated, but the concept of Millionaire"s Mile exists. I only made up the name, grand estates, and cable car system.

Thank you to Next Chapter for publishing Haunted House Ghost and paving the road for more books to come. I look forward to our continued partnership.
