    C. A. Anderson

    I was born in Inglewood California in 1962. I spent most of my life in Ventura County. I have two children and four grandchildren. Three boys and one girl for those keeping count. Besides writing I enjoy art, music, travel, and working on my house. When I am not digging up my yard I either paint, draw, create with clay. Crochet, crewel, and photography.

      Such a great novelette, beautifully-written, amazing characters and witty dialogs. I read it in one take as the story grabbed me and captivated me and I just couldn't stop reading until I finished the whole thing. I was impressed and enjoyed practically every page of it. The story is mysterious and suspenseful and the Author builds tension skillfully. The story is about Stuart Mason, a charismatic man, who finds himself renting a room in the hotel that was booked for somebody else and that is where the things begin to happen. I was so intrigued by the set-up and wanted to find out what happens next and I wasn’t disappointed when I did. It was great. I really enjoyed it. The story has everything it needs to have and was just perfect from my point of view. Great one! I recommend.
