    About this ebook

    Farley's best friend's dying wish is that he deliver a mysterious gift to a mysterious, disfigured woman. Her landlord threatens him with his life to stay away. Margie wants to open it. She tells Farley she's sure there's money it, and Anna Kalupski doesn't deserve it, but is she telling the truth? Margie is an elegant beauty, with a lucrative profession, and moneyed parents. She's a catch, and she's after Farley, but there's something about her.

    Farley has never met a woman he wanted to love, but there's something about Brenda, as well. She's a fine arts student and as ordinary as they come, but Farley is beginning to like her. Are Margie and Brenda competing with yet another woman?

    Doctor Doberleki must find out what's in Anna Kalupski's Gift. Does it contain evidence that would ruin his marriage and his career? It shouldn't be in the hands of a madwoman, seeking revenge.

    Pete, Farley's friend, wants to open it. He wants to know if it's worth all the damages it's already caused Farley, and what more it could cause in the future, but Farley refuses them all. It's a matter of honor and his loyalty to a dead friend. 
    Are the contents of a gift worth Farley's life to deiver it?

    All the answers are in Anna Kalupski's Gift.

    Author

    R. Harlan Smith

    I write, for the most part, in the paranormal genre. Ordinary people with extraordinary abilities make for more interesting, character driven stories that have greater appeal than plot driven stories.  My settings are usually in and around Gary, Indiana where I attended Lew Wallace high school, and lived the better part of my younger years through the 50's. My tendency to overdo descriptive passages comes from my fondness for the suburban areas south of Glen Park, the southern most part of Gary. The years I spent in Los Angeles also contribute to my settings. My characters are modeled after people I have known, and are rarely simply contrived, so everything I write is somewhat autobiographical by virtue of the setting and my relationships with the actual characters. My interest in the paranormal arises from my own personal experiences which led to researching them and finding some explanation for them from authors such as Carlos Castaneda and Jane Roberts, as well as my education (BA Behavioral Sciences). I will tell you truths you won't believe and fictions you'll embrace like the gospel, but I won't tell you which is which.
