Shaker Town (Taryn's Camera)

After her experience in Georgia, mixed-media artist Taryn Magill is ready for a break. When she’s offered the job at historic Shaker Village, known colloquially as “Shaker Town,” in central Kentucky, she’s ecstatic. The quaint, beautifully restored site is just what she needs to unwind, regroup, and relax. But the ghosts are restless. At first, the images of the past that her beloved camera, Miss Dixie, picks up are exciting. Taryn is finally able to see something that many visitors and historians would kill for–the mysterious Shakers in action. The village is alive like never before. Things take a deadly turn, however, when Taryn witnesses a murder. Evil lurks amongst the idyllic setting and it’s wrapping its icy fingers around Taryn, threatening to pull her under and into a world she might never escape. Can she solve one of Shaker Town’s most horrifying mysteries and finally put things to rest there? Or will she succumb to the evil and madness that haunt her?

About the Author

Rebecca Patrick-Howard's real biography isn't nearly as interesting as the one she's made up in her head so she'll leave you with that one: At the age of 3, her family sold her to a band of traveling gypsies. Forced to become a bareback rider in the circus, she spent her younger years traveling the country, living out of suitcases and selling macrame keychains on the side. At the age of 16 she became a professional yodeler but, after winning the international yodeling competition in Switzerland at 19, decided to retire at the height of her career. Now, she and her husband (an organic rutabaga farmer from Wales) live in an isolated cabin in eastern Kentucky where they play with a local mariachi band every Friday night, are involved with a murder mystery dinner theater club, and enjoy making origami owls.
