Author’s Notes: The Poltergeist’s Haunting

And we finally arrive in the 1990s, with The Poltergeist’s Haunting. This was both chronologically the last story in the sequence and the last one that I completed for Book Buddy Media. Making these stories was a complete experience.

Of my scripts, this one had the most involvement of the centered historical figure - Kurt Cobain, who sadly, died in a pretty horrible way just a couple years after the setting of this story. My portrayal of him is in line with how people described him at the time: Kind, yet sad. Kurt is also a living parallel of the poltergeist: A figure of tragedy.

James Goin was the only victim of the Great Seattle Fire, a historical fact that amazes me given that the entire gaslamp district, essentially, was destroyed by the fire. How almost everyone could have lived when so much destruction was done is a miracle for the ages.

I finished the manuscript for The Poltergeist’s Haunting just after Thanksgiving, 2019, and did final edits right after Christmas. After that, it’s been a good eight months.

I hope the world likes what I’ve brought into it.
