Ghost Trippin'
A Viola Valentine
Mystery Book 4
John Valentine left
home for a birding
conference and never returned, his family chalking it up to the divorced
father’s mid-life crisis. But when a body is found on the old family homestead,
his daughter Viola must piece together the clues her father left behind. Along
for the ride are her witchy Aunt Mimi, her uptight lawyer sister Portia and her
sometimes ex-husband Thibault Boudreaux, otherwise known as TB. What they
discover on this crazy ghost trip through Texas will be much more than they
anticipated.
Ghost Trippin’ continues the story of Viola Valentine, who changes her life after Hurricane Katrina and follows her dream of being a travel writer. But the storm also blew open a psychic door and now she sees ghosts who have died by water. As she travels the South in her new career she must also solve mysteries that appear with apparitions. But the one person she hopes to speak to — her daughter who died of leukemia years before — continues to elude her. Or does she?

What’s your story?
By Cherie Claire
I once took a screenwriting class and I would come up with what I
thought were fantastic ideas for films. When called on in class I
would happily explain that there was this thing going on and that
thing happening and this fun scene and then my characters would do
this…
My professor would
hold up his hand and ask, “But what is your story?”
If I couldn’t
answer his question in under five minutes, he would dismiss me with a
wave of his hand and tell me to get back to work.
Granted, Hollywood
thinks in terms of simplicity but the point remains, your story
should be something explained quickly. It’s the heart of the
matter. It’s the point of everything. Your story is a road map to
where your characters are going to travel.
For example…
To Kill a
Mockingbird: You can’t
understand another human being unless you walk in their shoes.
Moby Dick: Man vs.
a beast of a whale
Harry Potter: Orphan finds out he’s
a wizard and heads to Wizard School. Later, he realizes how his
parents died, how he’s the
chosen one and must fight the evil coming to harm the magical world.
My Viola Valentine paranormal
mysteries: Hurricane Katrina gives Viola Valentine of New Orleans a
chance to start a new life, but now the travel writer sees ghosts who
have died by water — and mysteries to solve — everywhere she
goes.

Great post, Cherie! What's my story? For me, it would be: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Not only is it my favorite song, but it's a way of living.
