J. T. Baroni's paranormal story, The Legend of Rachel Petersen, has been released with the writer donating a portion of his book's proceeds to The Leader Dogs for the Blind, located in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Baroni knows all too well the impact of their invaluable services. He also understands first handedly how strongly the visually impaired faithfully depend, trust, and rely on their dogs. His older brother, Gene, has been blind since birth and is on his third leader dog. "As kids," Baroni fondly recalls, "My brother and I were constantly hand in hand. We went everywhere together. I was, in fact, Gene's first Leader Dog!"
Living in rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and being an avid deer hunter, Baroni spends a great deal of time in the woods, mostly within walking distance of his home. Last year, he came upon a lone grave in the woods, which inspired his book.
Ironically, and eerily enough, Baroni's story revolves around 39-year-old sports writer Christian Kane, who becomes outraged when The Pittsburgh Post Gazette overlooks him for a well-deserved promotion. Kane quits the paper and moves to the country to write fiction. Inspiration flows from a grave he stumbles upon in the woods. He is then compelled to pen The Legend of Rachel Petersen, a fascinating and horrific story based on the dead twelve-year-old girl laid to rest beneath the weathered tombstone. His book quickly climbs the bestseller lists; then Hollywood makes it in to a blockbuster movie. Kane becomes rich and famous, but only to have Rachel rise from the grave, seeking revenge on him for slandering her name! Or does she?
The Legend of Rachel Petersen is available as a download, or as a paperback at Amazon.com
The writer thanks all readers who support his cause!
