Great work M.G. I'm not one to read this type of literature. I am more of a murder mystery or Indian folk lore. I started this four nights ago and had a hard time stopping to sleep. It kept me engaged and engrossed through out the book. I want more and more. Read more

The Cursed Towns of Jericho “ Some folks go their whole life not knowing what a home is. They can point to a house, or describe a family, but there is a world of difference between those things and a home. For the Blackwoods, home was the teacup that always fell from its hook when the train would rattle on the track just so. Home was the threadbare velvet cushions were Bobbin loved to sit and stare out the window. Home was the low doorway that Pa managed to hit his head on every time. Home was Landon’s half-finished contraptions on the sturdy wooden table. But, more than all those things, home was the safety of the open road and the comfort the Blackwoods took by facing it together. The night shard was home.” Reading this book for the first time felt like home to me. Read more
