WARING HOUSE AND ITS RESIDENT GHOST

As one of the only buildings left intact when explosions destroyed most of the fictional town of Halo, Oregon, Waring House plays an important role in CHASING THE LEGACY. Here's a bit of its history:

**When they pulled into the circular drive in front of the Victorian-style house, both Pop and Layla fell silent. The sight of this house always made Layla's breath catch in her throat. A three-storied turret framed each corner, connected by ornate white trim along the roofline. A wide porch perfect for sitting wrapped around two sides of this regal lady, and a curtain fluttered in an upstairs window where the ghost of Miss Stella kept watch.

THURSDAY TRIVIA

Q. What color were the boots Layla bought when she returned to her hometown?

A. The answer is in the excerpt below from CHASING THE LEGACY:

**"I've got to have those boots." Layla Dalton swung into a parking space in front of the two-story brick building that housed a bootery. This entire Eastern Oregon town felt like stepping back into an earlier era, complete with a horse-drawn wagon clopping down the street among the automobiles.

HALO HERALD, First Edition

HALO EXPLODES!

The biggest news in this country since gold was discovered in the 1800s! Most of the downtown businesses and nearby homes have been destroyed by a beast-man intent on revenge. 

Renegade cop and former military survivalist Aaron Swaggerty planted dynamite under the buildings in downtown Halo and set off the charges. Any buildings left standing were quickly consumed by the fires that ignited when natural gas pipelines ruptured and electrical wires tumbled like trees in a forest.
