Excerpt:
A biting January wind burned her cheeks when
Nikki dashed to her truck and lifted a small white dog
from the back seat. Georgie whined, eyes focused on
The Palace. Nikki searched the area for the source of
Georgie’s distress. A woman stood silhouetted in the
window of room 15 on the second floor. Victoria?
Nikki whispered, “Georgie, it’s okay. She’s
welcoming us. I’ll bet she was lonely while the hotel
was vacant.” Nikki slammed the truck door shut, and
the silhouette disappeared. They walked the short
sidewalk. Georgie sat down and whimpered. “Legs too
short?”
Cuddling Georgie against her chest, Nikki climbed
three steps, walked across the wide veranda, and
opened the front door. Her future beckoned. Offering a
welcoming warmth to travelers, running a successful
business, becoming a vital part of the community,
creating a network of friends all in the company of her
resident ghost. New dreams, new hope, new life starting
this moment.
