Mrs. Baker’s and Jayi welcomes you …

Mrs. Baker’s Ghost welcomes you.. just open the door.  

I pulled myself from the pile of pillows and sheets where I slept.Then I wrapped my favorite blanket around me before following the lone note of the trumpet to Cory Porter’s open door. From the hall I could see he wasn’t alone. Four or five of Whiskey Bay’s regulars were all snuggled down in the well-worn, overstuffed sofa and armchairs. Tonight, Cory was the sole performer. The trumpet’s notes multiplied into a heartbreaking melody that awakened me. Now, his music stirred up into a furious storm of angry notes that taunted and raged at the listener. I walked in slowly and approached the sofa. One of Cory’s friends patted his lap and I sat down. I nestled sideways on the man’s lap with my head against his shoulder. The music softened into a steady rhythm accompanied by the beating heart of the man who held me.

Well today is the day.. Sweethearts male and female are to be remembered. I figure I would start by saying thanks to all that have purchased Mrs.Baker’s Ghost. Family and friends are so important but too many don’t carry the feeling throughout the year. In Mrs. Baker’s Ghost.. you can find something you have lost… if you solve the riddle.

It’s amazing all the new things I am learning but … I probably will forget them the moment I get my head into another good book. Currently working on Jayi’s Tales that follows Mrs. Baker’s Ghost, hopefully in April 2013.

We WRITE TO TASTE LIFE TWICE, Anais Nin – at least it helps me. Have a great day.

If you have time, don’t forget to LIKE me on FACEBOOK, why everything is based on numbers I don’t know but… it’s Important. Thanks again.

Mrs. Baker’s Ghost – New Reviews

I wish I knew everyone that posted reviews so I could send them all great big hugs…thank you..

Review by: Max Kinney on Jan. 26, 2013 :
From Cory’s “lone note” to Alastair’s “Caw”, Anna Marie draws you in and makes you feel like a welcome visitor at Whiskey Bay. She trickles out information (and gossip) in perfect doses that keep you mildly intoxicated from beginning to end. Colorful and entertaining, Mrs. Baker’s Ghost is a well written story by a very talented author.
(reviewed long after purchase)

Review by: Paula Dennis on Jan. 21, 2013 : (no rating)
What a wonderful story! The characters seemed to pop out in my head as I read and I could just picture the scenes. The author is extremely talented and I cannot wait until Jayi’s Tales comes out so I can read more about Mrs. Baker, Cory, and Jayi’s adventures! And love the recipes at the back of the book! Definitely a book I would recommend to my family and friends!
