Recently I was urged to tell you all about this series of books chronicling our “family adventures” (although I really don’t know how much help Lonnie and Bernie were). In a rather unconvincing, saccharine fashion I was then told it was important to get this information out because my family was funny and delightful, and people would love to read these stories. (It was of course the latter comments that got my parents on board, ignoring the simple fact that by presenting these horrors we experienced to the public we would likely be painted as a tad...eccentric.)

I’m going to be honest, these books were culled from my diary entries and made more “readable” by author BMB Johnson. I never intended these to be printed, and personally would rather they be kept private -- at least until I’m out of high school. I only wrote these thoughts down to keep my sanity and prove to myself I wasn’t dreaming.


Dear New Readers...

The publishing world, or at least the world in which we enjoy reading (or consuming -- gross!) new content is forever changing. More often then not people want free content, or at least free to try. I have attempted to gain readership with this first book 4 free model, as well. This has been successful to a certain extent: a LOT of people downloaded the book, but I don't think that necessarily translated into LOTS of people reading the book. Since everyone else in the writing world is also giving their first books away 4 free (the last I checked, there were about 10 MILLION NEW WRITERS out there using the self-publishing model), this has led to a lot of competition a short amount of time.

To that end, I have moved away from the FREE first ebook model, to the first book free on the web, and I have changed the ebook price back to a paid model. Think of it as a convenience fee for reading the book on your device for those who like that option.

If, once you've read Melody Jackson v. The Woman and White, and you'd like to move on to the other books in the series, check out the series page here for more information.

Thanks everybody, and I hope to your comments. Please email me any thoughts that pop into your head

Original Release Info

Dear Readers.
I present to you a brief discussion on the series: It Happened on Lafayette Street. Melody Jackson v. the Woman in White is but the first in a TEN PART SERIES. The series is structured like a television show, in which ‘The Woman in White” is but the first episode of the first ‘Season’. Instead of chapters, breaks are treated as scenes, sequels as episodes, and story arcs as Seasons. That said, there is also a 2nd Season planned (and at least one ‘Spin-off’ series in the works.
So, get yourself a hot beverage, climb into a comfy chair, and get your affairs in order because you are about to embark on a long, spooky journey which will go well beyond the pages of this book.
I hope you enjoy these books. Comments are always welcomed and appreciated. (Contact information located at the back of the book.)
As always, if the Bardo come a’knockin’, hide behind the couch, peek carefully through the curtain and always pretend you’re not home.
