The Between Years

[Derek Clendening]

If you're into haunted house stories, I'm hoping you'll consider checking out my novel The Between Years. It's available at Amazon for 99 cents!

Here's a bit about the book:

Randy and Carol Fuller face the worst horror parents can possibly face when they lose their six month old son, Kenny, to Sudden infant Death Syndrome during a freak snowstorm. In the following months, Randy wants a second chance at parenthood, but Carol isn’t ready. Their marriage disintegrates. However, Randy discovers his second chance, anyway, when he begins to see Kenny at age four. Then at age eight, twelve and eighteen. Soon it becomes apparent that Kenny is alive and growing up within the walls of Randy’s ancestral home. Randy has the opportunity to be a father to Kenny again, although in ways he never expected. And he must face obstacles he never imagined. The Between Years is a novel of ghosts and memory, obsession and darkness, and the undying love only a parent can understand.

The Between Years is often bleak, but always captivating. Derek Clendening handles the story with a deft measure of empathy, and gives the reader an emotional account of love, tragedy, and tormented characters. Well worth reading.
