Last night was the final beginner beekeeping class and if I had not signed up for the intermediate beekeeping class I would be freaking out right now. He finished the class very quickly talking about inspecting your hives and what exactly the colony does throughout the spring and summer months. This is when it really hit me. We are going to be hands on with thousands of bees. THOUSANDS of bees. Do you have any clue just how many things you can do to get yourself stung by these guys. I keep telling myself we will be fine, but again…THOUSANDS of bees. The next level class is only two days, so I have a week to get my questions together, and I have plenty of them. Deep breaths…deeeeeep breaths.

Steven is anticipating a quiet sabbatical at a new home. Recently divorced and with a son in college, he should have plenty of time to himself. Instead, he’s kept up at night by strange knockings – a series of four raps, a pause, and then another four. They arrive every night at the same time. Steven is determined to find a rational explanation. When the knockings progress to strange apparitions, Steven believes he must have a brain tumor. His father, Roy, recognizes the problems in Steven’s home because he’s seen them before. Roy has “the gift,” and can enter a place called The River, where he can see things others cannot. In The River, Roy discovers there are far more sinister forces at work in Steven’s home than just ghosts. Steven shares Roy’s ability, but is skeptical of it. When the apparitions intensify and attack, Steven is forced to learn how to fight back if he wants to save himself and his father.
The Bank of the River is a fast-paced and suspenseful paranormal novel that confronts evil, ghosts, and the dead — and explores the supernatural gifts a father and son use to fight them. The Bank of the River is the first book in The River series.
