Whispering Ginkgoes
A Novel
I have been wanting to write a novel for many years. I always thought of it as a daunting task, until one day in late 2020 I finally sat down and did it.
This book contains several personal experiences, some of which are unexplained. But it should be noted that in the end, this book is absolutely a work of fiction. The characters (including their thoughts) are made up, even though there are similarities with real people.
I hope that the reader will enjoy the journey this book takes them on, through the unique landscapes of the Pacific NW.
Please keep in mind, this is my first novel.
Synopsis
A short while after Lizzie Barros’ mother dies from an aggressive bone cancer, Lizzie begins to experience strange disturbances in her rental house and at work. But she isn’t the only one. Her roommates and boyfriend Will are also seeing strange things too.
Is this the spirit of her late mother trying to communicate or is something much darker stalking her? Lizzie discovers that there are creatures in this world that live among us unseen, some of which are more sinister than others.
Lizzie is plunged into a new world of the paranormal while discovering an ancient creature who lives unknowingly among humans.
