    About this ebook

    Elena celebrated graduating USC early with the success of her first book, it was a best-seller. So were the other five subsequent novels. Despite how much the critics and readers were given the willies from her books, they didn’t really seem to scare her. That was why she started renting haunted houses, living in a different one for a few months while she wrote a different book. The work came easy, and while some of the houses actually were haunted, still she wasn’t scared. She longed to reside somewhere (or more to the point, to write something) that actually frightened her. She was looking for real horror. She was searching for true terror. Then she received an anonymous email, informing her of the Degrassi estate.

    Greetings friends,I love reading and writing. There is no better (at least in my opinion, but what the Hell do I know), escape from the banality of reality than just expressing that is within you.If you feel it, love it. If you love it, embrace it. And if you embrace it, and take everything entirely for what it is, then though art truly a master of thyself.To thine known self be true, and truly unto they self. Then take that knowledge and understanding and give unto others.Is that too esoteric?Be yourself. Enjoy one another (especially in these times).If not, then what the Hell are you doing?I also enjoy reading and reviewing works from other Smashwords authors; especially those offering their books for free hoping someone will read them. Well, someone is. Slowly but surely. I encourage my fellow Smashwords constituents to read and write honest and insightful reviews of ALL works they download.Hey...You read it. Someone wrote it...Provide feedback.Good DayGood NightHave a Restful SleepAnd Good AppetiteJ.S.F.

      Slow-burner novels can be difficult to get into. For the longest time events in Girl in the Walls unfold at the gentlest, most unexciting pace, but gradually the story grows tenser and tenser until it becomes a nail-biter. Elise is a young girl who h
