Third Floor Report

 
All is going very well here at Yellowstone Man Camp. I toured the hotel and talked to the painters who are stripping the window frames of all the old paint.
 
There are three methods being used: linseed oil and infrared heat, paint stripper which is applied, left to work, then scraped off, and another innovative procedure, apply the stripper base, cover with strips of plastic sheeting, let set overnight, then peel away paint and all. I'm so impressed with the skills.
 
Now, up on the third floor the sheet rock is being hung and check lists are posted. Each department marks it off, electricians,plumbers, carpenters, as their part is completed. We are ahead of schedule. I feel very fortunate to be part of this historic restoration of the hotel
 
Huge columns of steel are installed on the main floor. I've peered into the great holes in the floor. After writing Primal Cut, Book one of the Seasonal Killer Series, available at Amazon.com, I'm more curious than ever about the nooks and hidden crannies in this historic building.

Promise Fullfilled-the Seasonal Killer

I promised to let you know when I finished writing this Thriller, called, Primal Cut.

After writing this story, a novel of nearly 50,000 words, I realized it really wasn't over. Without giving too much away, let's just say our detectives, Avery and Jenison soon find out our heroine is not dead. Along with the Ghost, Caretaker John Deerfield of the Historic Hotel in Yellowstone, they follow her to Utah where she has taken on a new identity and seasonal job in Zion, but that's in the next book.

Primal Cut , available now for Kindles or Computer download, is the first in a new series called the Seasonal Killer Series.


For those of you who would like to do seasonal work, or read about the fantastic locations where seasonal workers ply their trades, these novels will be spot on. I'm using the locations I've worked at myself for my literary endeavors. Nearly all the rest is my imagination, the character's names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Horror Unfolding

Happy Thanksgiving you all.

I'm up here at Man Camp, saw we got 4 inches of new powder last night. I plan to go skiing this morning, then get back to my warm room and continue writing.

The chef and his fiancee are manning the shop. We only have a few guys on location. Some are bringing their wives up for a traditional dinner of turkey and pumpkin pie.

Somehow, I've become engrossed in a new horror story and as some authors will tell you, this one is writing itself. I write after work, on my days off, taking a break to hike in snow. A thousand words seem to pour out of no where.

This fictional thriller started out being a journal of my experiences here. But, then it took an evil twist and a young female cook became the "heroine" instead. I use the term loosely. You will disagree if you read this novel. She will make you rethink seasonal workers appearing out of the blue.

The Yellow Hotel, in fact, the entire location, is reputedly haunted. Both employees and guests have reported strange bumps in the night. I think the spirits have taken over my key board. We have murder, rape, violence and dark humor going on. The caretaker is messing with the crews and they can't even pay him back; the dude doesn't know he died 7 years ago.

Primal Cut will be available soon, if the ghosts co operate, and I'll let you know via a post here. Kindle at Amazon.com has a program for lending out digital books through it's library and we may give that a shot and see how it goes.

Until then, Happy Holidays. Stay warm, don't spend anything I wouldn't.
