Decisions in a Dangerous Situation: Soul Travelers

By Kari Kilgore

Risking the Safety of Home

Dreams coming true after years of hard work.
Settling into paradise with the love of his life.
Hugh Fergusson savors every long-anticipated moment.
But a desperate friend reaches out, with a cry they must heed.
Will offering shelter turn the dream into a nightmare?

A Soul Travelers Story

 

An excerpt from Decisions in a Dangerous Situation:

The First Stirrings of True Courage

The problem with considering having Lorna stay here to avoid her bully of an ex-husband was Hugh didn't consider himself any sort of heroic figure. He was currently on two weeks' holiday from work as a computer programmer and designer, not anything remotely physical or brave.

The most he expected he could do in a dangerous situation was barricade the door and call for help.

And not one bit of that mattered with his wife staring at him with such confident expectation. She figured he'd agree with the rational course of action, as she said earlier.

He knew her well enough to know she was completely prepared to argue if need be, too.

Kari Kilgore

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction. Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018. Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019. Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about. Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
