I first started smelling a strange odor 2 weeks ago. I did not know what it was and I tried to ignore the smell. The smell only got stronger until it reached the point where I had to bring in the big guns. My son came over and he check out my house thoroughly. I wanted to know if I had another leak and what I was smelling was wood rot. Thankfully, it was not wood rot.  

We went to the back of my Mobile Home where the stench was radiating from and removed the skirting. The smell was worse under the house. Yes, it was a dead animal., we could tell by the strong smell. Looking in with flashlights, we did not see the dead animal. We had a good view.

 Two years ago I had a dead skunk removed and a dead possum.  I called the man who had removed the other animals but unfortunately he could not drop everything and come to my rescue. He expained this animal was probably hidden somewhere above ground and finding it would require and experienced person. Part of my Mobile Home would have to be cut out in order to locate this creature. They love to hide in high, hard to locate places. It may take quite a while to actually locate the body.  I made the decision to wait for the expert.

If anybody has ever lived with the stench of a dead animal under their Mobile Home they will know what I am talking about. Linda Meckler, Author Ghost Kids Trilogy

In December of 2005 my Church held its annual Christmas Craft Fair. I did not sign up since it was a craft fair, which to me meant things made by hand. A friend of mine, a fantastic seamstress, asked me if I wanted to share her table. I immediately said yes. The tables were set up outdoors inside a large tent. The tent was jammed with tables of every kind of homemade items and also store items for sale. The church was putting on an electronic extravaganza, while also performing a play. 

I was at the entrance to the tent hidden behind all kinds of merchandise. I did not have any signs or a large picture of my book. I just had a stack of my books, “Ghost Kids Trilogy,” myself, and my voice. There were no other books for sale in the tent. I asked each person as they walked around from table to table if they had any children. If the person was older I asked them if they had any grandchildren. I made it a point to tell them, that grandparents were very involved in my book plot, and that this book was a positive family relationship.

If children were walking around by themselves in the age range of eight to fourteen, I gave them a flyer describing the story and characters in my book and asked them to bring their parents back so they could see my book. I was always told that the author is the person who has the passion to sell their own book. In this case it worked. Over two weekends of six hours a day, I sold (70) of my books. My books retailed for $11.95 and I sold them for an even $10.00.  Many of the parents bought two books for presents for other children.  

I was really amazed when one woman wanted to give me $20.00 to sign my book to her personally. I told her there was no charge for me signing my book. She had made me feel special.  Even though I belonged to this Church, most of the thousands of people who walked through the craft show were complete strangers to me. One woman, who did not have any children, bought my book to donate to her local library. I want to thank Infinity Publishing for making it possible for me to see my words in a published book.
