Penny Thompson went home to settle her father’s estate, sell the family farm, and return to her carefree single life in the city. She didn’t count on finding a body buried by the creek, or reconnecting with her old high school sweetheart. She certainly didn’t expect that the ghosts of the farm would pull her into a web of lies and deception by town officials, who want Penny to sell and leave badly enough to kill her, if necessary.
Ghost Creek is not available in stores or on Amazon. It is a ten-part novella, originally scheduled to be published in InD’Tale Magazine, an online repository of articles about indie authors and reviews of independent books. Parts 1 & 2 of Ghost Creek were published in the October 2023 issue. Part 3 was published in the November issue and Part 4 in the December issue. Unfortunately, InD’Tale unexpectedly closed its virtual doors after the December issue and is no longer in business. Readers can now find the story in its original format on Amy’s Bookshelf Blog and on Amy’s YouTube channel, beginning in January of 2026. The publication schedule and links to the YouTube episodes (which includes links to the blog to read the text version) are below.
