A Reading at the Beach: a love story of vengeful spirits and novel couplings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737125556)

It's the summer of 1973 and two questions haunt twenty-three-year-old bi-sexual Kyle Wilson: how do I choose between two people I love, Cyndy and Daniel? and then again, do I have to? That isn't his only problem.

Back in 1969, Kyle Wilson and girlfriend Cyndy Weaver were documenting hauntings. Both had developing psychic abilities as well as a passion for sex. But Kyle received a disturbing warning from his dead twin brother, Johnny: "When Dad dies our brother Norman 's business dealings will destroy the family. If you don't kill Norman, he will kill you."

Kyle's refusal to do any more research nor to tell Cyndy of this premonition eventually destroyed their relationship.

Kyle Wilson and his twin brother were close. Johnny was homosexual, Kyle was bi. Johnny's best friend and teenage lover was Daniel Mason. The three, along with three other friends were a tight group. They nursed each other through sexual awakenings and over inhibitions. Their upper middle-class lives were idyllic until 9^th grade when Johnny was killed in a freak accident. Comforting each other in their grief, Daniel and Kyle became lovers.

The novel picks up in late summer 1973 when John Wilson, Sr. dies. Kyle, Cyndy, Norman and their Aunt Rebecca have paranormal experiences that propel them towards a fatal confrontation with vengeful spirits. Within three days, the evil elements in the family - living and dead - are vanquished forever.
