Acknowledgments
I remember by father typing away in the small room that served as his study, writing short romance stories and publishing them under my mothers' name (which was on the cover of this manuscript). However, it wasn't until I was much older, long after he had passed away, that I discovered a couple of manuscripts; one of which you have just read. I imagine it was written around 1980. Interestingly, this was accompanied by a rejection letter from a publisher saying that there was no interest in romance novels with supernatural or horror storylines. How things have changed! For the past twenty or so years these manuscripts have been kept as photocopies of the original typed manuscripts on my bookshelf. Attempts to scan these in and digitize them were met with very poor results, when I first tried to do so several years ago. The quality was just too poor. However, thanks to Tesseract and CuniForm (some open source software) I am now able to get surprisingly good results! I present the manuscript as is, with very few alterations (the spell checker may have Americanized the spellings). And will attempt the get the remaining manuscript digitized in due course. Hope you enjoyed this!
