Author Anne Sweazy-Kulju’s novel, BODIE, is historical fiction adventure with a paranormal twist; it’s inspired by a true story. Bad whiskey, bad weather, bad men…history blames them for the town’s legendary murder-a-day average.
In the western gold mining town of Bodie, a violent history circa 1879, seems to be the only thing that just Will-Not-Die. This story takes place in both the 1870s and 1990s, with many characters intertwined in time and place. Two orphaned sisters sharing a psychic dream—and a host of abandonment issues, have one foot in each century until a past-life regression bridges the gap. What follows is a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a hired assassin in Bodie, now a California State Park.
Join sisters Lara and Lainy as they investigate a 100-year old murder mystery, a century old love story, and a political conspiracy that transcends time. They will uncover many violent memories. Are any of them yours?
BODIE is a ghost story that reads quickly, so driven in the plot line to the end, that we feel as participants instead of merely onlookers. Solid writing from a new author with a future. {Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 100 Reviewer Grady Harp}
