READ A SAMPLE

She flicked open the journal, paging to find where she’d left off before it was stolen.  After sliding on her reading glasses, she settled in to read the last of Henrietta Blanchard’s tragic tale.

Her eyes scanned the first few words, discussing their plans to prepare for the arrival of the treasure.  After reading two sentences detailing the modification of the library bookshelf and digging of a tunnel, Lily froze.

Her forehead crinkled and her eyes flicked away from the handwritten page.  She stared into space, trying to place what had distracted her.  

Her stomach dropped and a chill raced up her spine as the noise sounded again.  Footsteps creaked across the floorboards outside her room.  They paced back and forth, hitting a squeaky floorboard just outside her door over and over.

Lily arched an eyebrow. Someone or something hovered outside her door.
