    About this ebook

    Who in the world is Robert Droll? A starving artist—a nobody. At least that's the way it feels to him. So he’s duly surprised when he inherits a home from the old man down the street—an upgrade for the artist who works full-time to keep the lights on in his own hovel.
    Once residing in his new home, Robert decides to dust off a few old projects and get to work. But somebody else is living in the house too—a ghostly somebody. Is it a visit from old Edward, the man who left him the house in the first place? Is it some other entity altogether?
    In time greater mysteries unfold. Before long he has visitors not from the past, but the future. Was there a catch to inheriting this place?

    Max Kielsmeier

    Max Kielsmeier attended film school in Denver, Colorado and then spent years brushing shoulders with both the famous and the hoi polloi in Los Angeles as a screenwriter. With dream film projects being difficult to realize in Hollywood, he returned home to Colorado and has been turning screenplays into novels for years. Spurred on by a lifelong fixation with mythology, folklore and the Hero's Journey, he's the most satisfied when he's completed a new story. These days, he's perfectly happy penning novels and has sent screenwriting back into the wild.

      Oct 24, 2013

      He had removed the number where he lived, prying off the digits with a simple kitchen knife he got from room service. B-something…523? Numbers were a kind of theology for him, so he was bothered at first they weren’t a more auspicious 001 or 600, at
