Colors on the Mountain: The Souls Are Watching

By Susan T. Gazzara

She couldn't believe the biggest story of her life would fall in her lap the day she was murdered. Resting in Peace would just have to wait until she nailed the man who killed her....

Kate Templeton was bored. The routine scut work of a reporter's life at the Lackawanna Tribune was enough to drive any 26-year-old nuts. It was tedium, pierced by the chaos of an occasional major story.

The routine of boring municipal news cracks wide open one day when local activist Norma Hogan accuses a mining company owner of illegal operations in a drilling site on the mountain, right outside of town.

Norma's lifelong friends Mary Rose and Tom Thompson own the property, leasing a back portion of the land to World Energy Corporation. Norma's convinced spiraling health problems on the mountain are tied to the operation, urging Kate to investigate the situation.

When the Thompson's farmhouse disintegrates in a scorching fireball one night, killing the couple, life on the mountain changes forever.

Kate knows she is facing the story of a lifetime and meets Norma Hogan one night to review proof that ties the Thompson's death to World Energy Corporation CEO Eric Gavin.

Their meeting shatters in a searing hail of bullets, and Kate is forced to move in a direction she never saw coming.

Kate connects to family and friends she loves, as well as those she never knew. Kate joins with her ancestors and an army of colorful souls to avenge her murder, and stop an environmental disaster that could destroy the future for millions.
