    About this ebook

    A lonely hotel and a slew of lost souls. What could possibly go wrong?

    Familiarity brews comfort, an adage the crew at the Bolt Hole hotel fully appreciates. Head clerk Mina Frank loves her daily routine and the souls that work for her. She’s even fond of the grumpy old chef who threatens to kill off all their clientele by serving them poisonous spiders.

    Then a stranger strolls through the door and Mina gets that feeling. His arrival promises change but will that change prove useful?

    Or will it destroy them?

    Louisa Swann

    Louisa is a professional writer living in northern California with husband, son, and a slew of critters, both domestic and wild. The family has been off the grid for over twenty years and keeps their carbon footprint small by doing without frig and water heater. Besides writing and caring for critters, both two-legged and four-legged, Louisa is the proud mama of a host of other little beings, namely veggies and flowers, who live in their 8′x16′ greenhouse. Springs fills the air with flowers and song while frogs leap merrily underfoot. Life is sweet!
