I had hoped to use this scintillating cover for the sequel to my prize winning ghost story Sea Ghosts https://www.draft2digital.com/book/32491 but nobody bought the original story, even though it came third in a Facebook writing contest in 2012.
Ghost stories
Once upon a time, ghost stories were my genre. I gained a reputation online for writing good, scary ghost stories; sadly the difference between reading free stories and getting people to buy them is a huge divide. To emphasize this point, I bring to your attention my blogs, although my old blog on Weebly was very popular with the readers, it brought in no sales. It cost me $9 a month to run, that is not a lot, but it's all I clear after tax with my sales.
It is with a sad heart, that I close the book on this genre - I still enjoy writing ghost stories - but what is an entertainer with no audience?
Cover image
The picture is so beautiful, it is a shame not to write a story to fit the image; perhaps in another time I might attempt some ghost stories.
