Publisher's Synopsis
"The Lighthouse", A Supernatural, Thriller, Romance Ghost Story by Australian Author, Karen Power. "A Chilling Battle of wills between two women. One living, the other long dead, over the soul of a Child". Kian McGregor, a wannabe Novelist on the run from a stormy marriage, finds herself mysteriously drawn to a deserted Lighthouse on a rugged headland. Compelled by an intriguing yet powerful energy from within its bleak surroundings. Kian decides to move in, believing it to be the perfect sanctuary from which to write her first Novel. While exploring the nearby village, Kian meets the charismatic Toby, part-owner of the New Age Book Store, and eccentric old Clairvoyant couple, Hetta and Oscar, who on learning of Kian's desperate desire to write a best seller, suggest a Book on Spiritual Automatic Writing penned by Hetta. Kian politely purchases the Book only to dismiss it upon her return to the Lighthouse where her attempts to begin writing prove futile. No matter what she tries nothing comes. Finally, driven by desperation yet overwhelmed by curiosity, she consults Hetta's Book on how to channel a Spirit Guide. However, in doing so she unwittingly unlocks the energy of the Lighthouse's long dead keeper, Ossian, a 17th Century female Spirit with an astonishing but un realized gift for writing. Before Kian has a chance to prevent what she has now unleashed, she finds herself writing with a newly harnessed velocity under Ossian's mesmerizing control. Almost mindlessly, she churns out the first eight chapters of a sure-fire masterpiece. But suddenly this new-found energy stops dead, leaving Kian desperately begging for more pages. Ossian agrees to continue on with Kian but only on the condition that Kian shall repay "a favor" should Ossian request it. Now greedy for success, without hesitation, nor thought, Kian accepts. In doing so, she sets off a pre-destined series of events which entangles her with Ossian in a chilling battle of wills over the soul of Kian's, as yet unborn child, a child who, if allowed to be born, will forever alter the tragic past-life pattern of not only Kian, but also of Ossian and the mysterious Toby...A Supernatural Thriller Romance tale filled with ghostly magical intrigue, romance and drama set in a haunted, historical Lighthouse.
