Ebram's Story: The Haunting, Book 1, is more than Ebram's story. In fact, there are several stories in the book, some short, others long. His family's baby-sitter tells the kids a story about the family who used to live in their new house. Ebram's dad tells a story about getting lost after Ebram has trouble finding his classes at his new middle school. His neighbors, the Robleses, tell a story about their deceased brother/husband and another about the orphanage once built in their subdivision. Finally, there are Grandfather Lito's stories.
In my original manuscript, Lito tells eight stories. To keep The Haunting focused on the main story line, however, five were deleted. Still in the book are the stories he tells about the Day of the Dead, the Farmer and his Burros, and Christmas around the world. I hope to have the rest published into short picture books, with titles such as: Tik-tok-li and the Origin of Chocolate, Ria's Rocks, Flight of the Monarch Butterflies, A Mexican Pinata, and An Immigrant's Story.
