An Independent Woman will not appeal to everyone. There are no expletives, car chases, violence gratuitous sex or aliens from cyberspace. It is set in 1895, a time of gentility, etiquette, and protocol. It was better to be rich, rather than poor. And better still to be VERY rich. But not if you were a woman!
This is a story about a young woman who was beset by all these obstacles, and yet managed to achieve an independent lifestyle.

So why not put out all the lights, curl up in your favourite arm chair with a glass of something red and sticky, and listen to what happened to two innocent travelers, when they accidentally happened on the Guest House Ghost Story.
