The Reading/Signing at Indigo West Hills was a great success! Thanks to the many new Ghosters, the book sold out in a very short time. I happened to have brought a few extra copies which allowed more crewmates to come aboard, including a retired American Sailor who bought the book for himself.
The Surprise Prize for each reading was a hit with one young lad taking an exclusive and very trendy 'Ghost Messages' T-shirt back with him to Scandanavia, along with a copy of the book.
The folks at Indigo were super and here's a 21 gun salute to Patricia, the best 'Kids Book Section' authority in Canada, (amazing, knowledgable, and a genius at putting the right book in every young reader's hands), as well as Joel Wedel, Customer Experience Manager who made our stay in his port run so smoothly.
Join us on July 7, 4:00, at Monkeyshines, 113- 2215 -33Avenue, S.W., Calgary for more fun on the high seas as the Ghost Messages Book Club has an afternoon of excitment and entertainment, complete with Prizes, a Powerpoint Presentation, Morse Code Quiz, Insider Scoop from the Author and snacks to enjoy while we chat! Phone 403-240-1723 for details.
In the meantime, enjoy our balmy weather, calm seas and fair winds as we continue our voyage.

Welcome Aboard!
From Jacqueline:
Welcome Aboard!
Join me as we set sail on the high seas of adventure!
Laying the transatlantic cable from Ireland to Newfoundland was truly how the World Wide Web started. Before the cable, letters had to be written, sent across the ocean via a sailing ship, delivered to the right party, then a reply written, this letter was sent back across the ocean just so you could ask someone where they left the keys to the castle! It could take months.
With the advent of the cable, electronic communication happened at the speed of light.
Instant messaging - old school.
These messages were not visual, or even voice, they were done using Morse Code, an amazing alphabet made up of dots and dashes in specific sequence to represent a letter.
The telegraph operator would listen to the dots and dashes, ... --- ... , and decode it to the letters represented, in this case: S O S, the universal distress signal.
The transatlantic cable would join the two halves of the world allowing commerce, information and news to be transmitted in the blink of an eye. And the world would never be the same again.
Stay tuned for an insider's view of Chapter 1, Mystery Man
Ailish, a thirteen-year-old Irish fortune teller, meets her nemesis.
