I just want to say how excited I am to share with all of you book lovers out there about this great serial about murder, suspense, intrigue, and romance. set in the victorian period and spanning 50 yrs. thru the late 1940's. Based onactual events, this story had been brewing up inside me for some time. The sstory begins in 1880's Scotland, which by the way is my homeland. Glenloch or better known as Aberdeen, and it evolves around the I.R.A. and it's scandelous involvements with this prominent and wel
respected family. My main two charaters are very well respected in society at least on the surface they appear to be that way. My leading lady "Abyrdeen Lochbuie" an aspiring short story writer and future heroine, discovers this very heavy and deep scandle harboring over her and her family when she receives a mysterious telegram alarming her of something terrible happening to her brother, whom was studying in Northern Ireland. It's a serial definitely full of twists and turns. Paranormal plays a very
heavy roll through out the serial. Abyrdeen's brother Ian stuart's deathly situation is only the beginning to how this story really unravels. The year of 2000 is my golden year for this serial to be released. I know for sure all of you on both sides of the Atlantic will enjoy this story, it will certainly keep you hopping and guessing.

Is Harrison Ford going to star in the movie version?

Good thought Terry, I will have to take serious consideration in Harrison playing my leading man "Dr. Derek Cameron", prominent physician and influenza specialist, I.R.A. lobbyist as well. I was thinking of either Cher or Sheena Easton or someone to that nature to play my "Abyrdeen Lochbuie" vivacious and radiant Scot with jet black hair like coal, deep sea green eyes and skin as fair and silky as porcelain. How intriguing! Thanks for your insight Terry! Stay tuned and see what happens! Thank you k
ndly! Caryn.

Any time you need casting advice! How does your book begin, what's the
"prequel" as they say these days?

The first book begins with the humble introduction of the Lochbuie Clan, and of MacIntyre Lochbuie; Grandfather and the start of all the corruption, scandel as well as the prominence and respect in society, which his family shares with him. Dead for 15 years when the first book opens, but his rampant and restless spirit is alive and well, supervising everything and everyone from, revealing his evil truth of killing his own grandson for stumbling upon his murderous and financial propaganda with the I.R.A.
MacIntyre the paranormal pays many visits to his granddaughter as well as other family members and so close friends whom are getting a bit too close. That's enough of that, you will have to see what happens when the books are out. Terry you will have this cliff hanger to keep coming back for more! Happy guessing! Thank you! Caryn

When are you going to start transcribing these books to the computer? Or
will you hire someone else to do this?

I am hoping to transcribe the first book to computer immediately. I will have the book ghostwritten and polished next. If you would like to help me get my books out there, I will certainly appreciate it and give you and your kinfolks free autographed copies of the books when they are out! Believe me it will not be long before these books will be doing well. I have cross referenced some of my competitors, their plots climax much like mine does, only they have one book, where I have three expanded books
with more juicy mouth watering details to watch for! I have been told awhile back by very trusted and admired comrads on the book and film worlds that the story carries a very strong motion picture future with it. My story is compelling, bittersweet, intense and bestseller quality! All told through very well respected, unbiased individuals! Thank you! Caryn.

What do you mean ghostwritten? Do you mean it will be rewritten by
someone or will it be a straight transcription?

Ghostwriting means they will just polish up the manuscript and put into book form before it is sent to the press for printing. Every book you have or seen in the stores are ghostwritten, They can rewrite the entire manuscript exactly the way the author wants it changed, or they can just prepare the manuscript for printing, and create an actual book as you see in the stores.

I thought they called that "editing".

Editing is the technical side to revisions. Ghostwriting can have editing, but it mainly for manuscripts which are ready for submission. Large publishers have contracted ghostwriters, assigned to particular books and project for both full rewrites, or book preparation. Editors just correct grammer, punctuation, and the mechanics of the book. Ghostwriters look at the whole story, they rewrite the book at the author's or the publisher's discretion. Thank you! Keep your eyes open for the books, they are
filled with murder, suspense, mystified intrigue, and of course great romance. Caryn
