About the Book Reflections of Fear recounts the devastating effects a rather grotesque antique wall mirror has on Paul Jason and his wife Cindy. Caught up in a maze of intrigue and sheer terror after acquiring the mirror, the lives of this young couple soon take a decided turn for the worse. With the help of Cindy's sister and brother-in-law, the four are unwittingly drawn into a frightening and macabre doorway into another world - the world of the dead, commonly referred to as Purgatory. Three decades earlier, a greedy and treacherous character had invaded the lives of Minnie and Melvin Link, the original owners of the mirror. Unexpectedly granted a supernatural power over the Jason's minds, Minnie attempts to communicate her desperate plight to them with terrifying and unforeseen consequences. Reflections of Fear is a tale of terror involving a desperate attempt to find justice for the victims of an unsolved thirty-year-old murder. The characters depicted in the story are both realistic and unforgettable. This is one book that you will find very hard to put down.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Appearances of translucent entities from the world of the dead have been recorded for millenniums; yet we still insist they are nothing more than myth or fantasy. But, are they really? Most of us are not ready or willing to believe in anything that we cannot see, taste, smell or feel. We also tend to dismiss those things we see, but cannot logically explain, as hallucinations or our eyes playing tricks on us, when in fact, they may be something else.

Countless millions believe in the hereafter-- a continuation of their existence after death in an alternate or spirit form in such places as heaven and hell. Yet, these same people are reluctant to accept or to even consider the existence of earthly spirits. Why? I believe part of the reason is that the spirits, or ghosts, as they are more commonly called, have been given a bad image over the centuries-- another reason it is troubling for us to believe they exist. With few exceptions, the words evil and spirit have become almost synonymous. Ancient story tellers, as well as modern writers of ghost and horror stories, have done much to impart this conception onto the masses. Stories about the supernatural that are frightening and intimidating outsell those that portray kind and gentle spirits. By our very nature, we tend to be strangely attracted to the frightening and the macabre.

Are they a myth or a fantasy? Or does there, in fact, exist a vast array of spirits, both good and bad, who inhabit this world along with the living? They may exist in one dimension while we mortals exist in another. Perhaps, under certain conditions, some are able to escape from their dimension and enter ours.
