William

Love is shady, love is, after all those years, nostalgia!


December 16, 1944 was the day nineteen-year-old William Starr came home in New York from shore leave. He kissed his mother on the forehead and danced with his sweetheart. He wrote a letter which he planned to leave for her on his pillow, asking her to marry him.
Everything changed when he woke up on the ground in a strange house, with not much making sense, just his sweetheart’s locket in his hands.


Soon, actions force him to see his mother for who she is – evil.


With his past creeping behind him, William feels as if he is being followed by a dark mist that keeps ripping him at the seams, making him think it is taking over him. With his family spread out in hiding, the only thing he needs is his grace and a place to hide. With his mother’s army of the dead soldiers attacking at night, nothing is safe, not even the woods. Only the past will set him free, as he keeps the flame lit. Walking on Prince Freddie’s wavelength lets him see the world for what it is.

Gerald J. Stalter

The author, Gerald J. Stalter, comes from a big genealogical-rooted family. In 2012, after the death of his grandmother, Gertrude Rose, he took over her spot in keeping the genealogy going and solving family mysteries along the way. He is most known for his research on his great-great-grandfather Alexander Colash Totten’s suicide. He lives in Waverly, Tennessee, with his pug, Bucky, along with his sister, Sarah. Originally from upstate New York (not the city), he was given the gift of using his imagination that leads him to write. Some of the writing of Gerald’s comes from experiences from his own life that he poured into his characters throughout his storytelling. Starting small in publications in genealogical-based magazines, Gerald has gained experience to lead to a full-length manuscript. Gerald has a two-year degree in education and hopes to teach more in the future. When not writing, you can find Gerald spending time with his mother who has kidney disease, keeping his fingers crossed for a cure.
