Blurb for Stamp Out Murder



From Washington DC
An amateur stamp collector and antique enthusiast, James Freeman, takes a vacation from his accounting firm to acquire an exquisite French Armoire, that he located on the internet. With his mapquest print-out in hand, he leaves the comforts of the city and heads into the wilderness. 


To the Mountains of West Virginia
He travels to the small town of Wanton, West Virginia, where he ventures down the wrong road, and becomes the prime suspect in the drowning of Sam Austin. The locals believe The Cheat River Ghosts are responsible for this murder and the cold case murders from the past. Nevertheless, the Sheriff, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, is convinced that James came to his town for more than a piece of furniture.


The Cheat River has claimed one life from the McKeel clan for the last three generations. With steadfast determination, James fights with all of his might to break the curse, before the river claims the life of his newly found love, Carolyn McKeel.


To the Hospital
Because of his meddling into the mysteries of Wanton, James wakes up battered, beaten and bruised in the hospital. This warning for him to get out of town only makes him more determined to find out  who is responsible for his injuries, the death of Sam Austin, and the recent shenanigans in Wanton.


To Hard Decisions
James has the life he’s always desired in Washington—A high paying career, a big, antiques-filled house, the freedom to pursue his stamp-collection hobby, and his solitude. Will he give it all up for love and the quirky friendships he makes in Wanton?
