About This Book
Based on the popular short story, Magic Shop, available on Kindle. Ghosts lurk everywhere. Most people don't believe in ghosts. Screenwriter Nicole Farnsworth isn't like other people. Nothing surprises her, especially the supernatural. She once had it all. Her popular action novels about treasure hunter Orianna Killborn were transformed into three movies that grossed nearly $300,000,000 at the box office. Everything changed with the 2007 writer's strike. After that, she earned only one job-a television show that was canceled after eight episodes. She decides to take a break from Hollywood and embark on a new journey. Given up for adoption months after her childbirth, she wondered about her birth family. The only information she has is a last name and a city. She decides to relocate to Marquette, Michigan with her young adult daughters and seek out her family. During the trip from Los Angeles to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Nicole meets a trucker who happens to live in Marquette. He escorts Nicole and her daughters there, where they stay at his rented cabin. As Nicole embarks on her search, she runs into problems. The hospital refuses to give information. A dark haired woman wants her leave town and never return. Undeterred, she discovers a mysterious shop that sells mystical relics, fantastic objects, and curious goods. Baubles and trinkets delight her imagination. The old shopkeeper seems to know more about her than she knows about herself. The shopkeeper gives her keys to an old Victorian mansion. Nicole, along with her daughters and the trucker, enter to find ghosts, haunted objects, and hints to a family of pirates. They encounter angry specters who want them to leave the mansion. Nicole soon uncovers evidence in the haunted Victorian mansion that leads to a buried treasure. Once she finds the fortune, a hidden letter reveals everything about her past, including the name of her father.
