What is legend? What is truth?

A monster is said to lurk beneath the waters of Lake Erie. Jane and her twin brother Rob are haunted by just that. As children, they lost half their family to a terrible boating accident. They haven’t left dry land since. Only, at the age of sixteen, they allow friends to lure them onto the lake.

But should they have held their ground?

When something nearly swamps their boat, years of secrecy are swept away and the children’s father shares their family history with the supposed Monster of Lake Erie.

Will the tale bring closure or just more tragedy?

Oh golly, this novella was so much fun to write! It’s set on Lake Erie in the Buffalo, NY area – where I grew up – in both 1969 and 1939. Let’s be clear – I was not there in 1939, but I was there in the 1960s. I had fun tapping on my experiences out on the Niagara River on our family motorboat. Niagara Falls plays a key role in the story, and we used to go there often as it was only ten miles from my house.

And hey – what is that in the water?!
