Sorry to cut Forever’s Too Long Short, but we’re skipping to Forever Haunted.
Ghost stories take many forms. I’ve always preferred the stories where they are tragic figures, and I’ve often been interested in cold cases and the struggle to investigate them.
So Rafael meets a lovey ghost of a flapper who is compelled to keep reliving her murder, and he’ll do what it takes to help free her. The first chapter does contain spoilers of a sort from Forever’s Too Long, so if you haven’t read it and don’t want to know how the detective is around in this one, you might want to wait until you’ve finished it.
On the other hand, if you just want to find out how attention-grabbing a first chapter can be, press play

“Don’t you just hate it when a plan comes together?” That’s the thought going through the mind of our hero Rafael Jones.
Last time we left him he’d landed up in the ‘frying pan’, when he’d tried to infiltrate the cult that was recruiting Eugene’s employees. The sickly, strange cultists had managed to capture him. Now Rafael’s about to come face-to-face with their spiritual leader, a man long believed dead, and is about to realize he’s gone from said frying pan and into the fire!
Chapter 8 – SURE TO GIVE OFFENSE
Alas, as the title of this entry (and its predecessors) have hinted, the ‘free samples’ of “Forever’s Too Long” is now at an end. The story however, still has a ways to go. Will Rafael survive? Can he save himself not only physically but spiritually? And can he keep his friend Eugene out of the clutches of Rasputin and Yekaterina?
