The Ghosts of Blackthorne Island (A Jodie Shield Modern Gothic Mystery Book 2)
()
About this ebook
Originally built in the wilds of Scotland, the ancient, sprawling mansion had been hauled across the sea stone by stone to a remote island in the North Altantic by the Duke of Sotherby to serve a dual purpose. It was to be a prison for his son, Geoffrey Blackthorne, whom he had rescued from the gallows at Tyburn just before he was hanged for his crimes against women and his personal kingdom where he would be master of all instead of a servant to the King.
Time had passed since then...centuries... and now the last of his line has returned to her ancestral home. At 91, Florence Blackthorne decided she wanted to end her days in the place she had romanticized throughout her childhood. A place she had been far too young to remember during her brief visits there...had learned what she did know of it through photos and family stories. She had scoffed at the idea it could be haunted until she moved there with her maid and found out...to her horror... how very wrong she was. Determined to stay there at all cost, she writes an old friend who had been the head of the paranormal research department at the university where Simon had studied. He persuades Simon to help, but how is Simon going to convince a very reluctant Jodie she must come with him to Blackthorne Island?

There are six things important to me...well, most important to me: To love unconditionally, to always keep a sense of 'wonder', to always be kind, to find joy in simple things, to never take myself too seriously, and to make sure I don't leave this earth with a list of "if only I hads".I've taken many 'leaps of faith' in my time and, so far, have landed on my feet or, in one case, on a dilapitated houseboat with my dog, and a lot of enthusiasm. I named her 'Sanctuary Annie' and hoped for the best. I knew nothing about boats, couldn't swim and wondered how long she would stay afloat. In the middle of the night, when my dog jumped up to join me on the antique Victorian bed I had moved on board, I would check to see if he was wet, knowing, if so, we were both in big trouble. But Sanctuary Annie hung in there, even surviving a hurricane, when others around her were not so fortunate.Living in the small marina, with the sea as my back yard, I found a profound sense of peace..and the love of my life....my Jim, captain of 'Wings', a beautiful racing sloop that flies across the water, when the wind fills her sails.I often think how much I would have missed out on, if I hadn't taken that leap of faith and followed my heart. Life is meant to be lived and I intend to keep on doing just that.
