Case File Phantom
by Dana Ford
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Mystery Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In this mystery
fiction novel, Georgia Richards lost hope of ever seeing her husband again
since he disappeared over a year ago. On
a Saturday afternoon, she thought she saw him at a play; on stage at the
Oaksdale Playhouse. But, Georgia didn’t
have the courage to find out if it was really him. Constance McCauley was empathetic to
Georgia’s faint of heart and decided to offer her investigation services to
find the true identity of this mysterious man.
Would Constance be able to track down Georgia’s estranged husband? If he was found, why had he been missing for
over a year? As Constance pursued this
case with a combination of faith and persistence, she witnessed the power of
forgiveness unfold before her eyes.

EXCERPT TWO:
It
was beautiful inside. The space quaint,
low lighting, enough ambience to make a lucrative business deal or extend a
marriage proposal. Thanks to Troy
making reservations, we were seated right away in a cozy booth for two. Sean placed a marketing folder on the table
next to his place setting. “I’m looking
forward to talking about what we can do for your company.” He said.
His eyes were naturally a darker brown in this low lighting. I smiled, thankful for the distraction of the
waiter.
“Would
you care for some wine?” The waiter asked pleasantly.
“None
for me, thank you.” I replied.
“I’ll
take a glass of your best red wine.” Sean responded.
“Very
good sir.”
Sean
jumped right in. “Did Alex talk to you
about all of our services or did he just focus on one aspect of what we do,
like print advertising?”
“Well,
I actually did not tell you the whole truth about Alex and I.”
Sean
perked up to listen.
“I
do own a private investigation firm, but I never met Alex through your
company.” The waiter returned with
Sean’s glass of wine and sparkling water for me. We both ordered their chef’s special pasta
with a salad.
“Oh.” Sean thought for a moment.
“But,
tell me. What services do you
have?” I asked. I actually did want to know.
Until
dinner arrived, Sean presented all of the details that were included in the
marketing folder that he had brought. He
pitched ways to expose my business from print advertising, to social media
strategies. “Are you interested in
pursuing any of these marketing approaches?”
He asked, knowing that he was one of the best salesmen on the Brown &
Edwards sales team.
Taking
a look over all of the amazing food that was just placed on our table, I also
considered the marketing services that Sean had presented. “Let me think about it.” I responded.
“You
had the same hesitation when we met the other day. What exactly are you thinking about?” He returned like a true salesman.

GUEST POST:
My Path to Writing Mysteries:
It’s my assumption
that the process of writing a mystery novel is unique to each author and I am
not exempt. First, the C. McCauley Case
Files series was born out of my dreams.
Over the past 10 years, I have randomly dreamed about plots. I have these collections of plots teed up to
be novels. The first novel being Case
File Phantom. Since I have plots
already, my writing process becomes a matter of organizing an outline, plot
development, character development, and creativity. Also, my writing time is limited to the
weekends, so I like to set writing goals so that I can be encouraged by seeing
progress.
