Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Rowan's POV. Last week Katie

She shivered as she recalled that day. "Totally creeped me out. Look." She lifted her arm. "Gooseflesh just talking about it." She glanced at Rowan.
"How about you. Do you believe in ghosts?"
Before Rowan could answer the door chimed, and a couple walked in. "Just take a seat anywhere," Maverick told them.
(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))
He glanced at Rowan, but she was already heading toward the back room. The band would be arriving soon, and she most likely wanted to check the sound system. The ghost stories would have to wait

Katie wanted to know if she believed in ghosts, but the woman didn't have a clue what a loaded question, she'd presented. Rowan had memories of a dead woman, reliving her last days through her dreams and if she didn't solve the mystery, she'd never
Her brows drew together. She dreamt of dead people. She didn't see them in broad daylight, but something had been on the road today, and the person vanished in a blink of an eye. Was it a ghost? Had it been Haley Rose and she experienced some kind of waking dream? Was that even a thing? She had to go back and see if the woman would appear again, but first, she had work to do.
She headed toward the backdoor and reached for the clipboard hanging on the wall. She glanced at the roster. Love 'em and Leave 'em would be the entertainment tonight. She propped open the backdoor that led to the parking lot behind the building, so the band could bring in their equipment.

About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
Can’t be easy to have dreams like that all the time … including the mystery. Great snippet.
Well, she managed to avoid that conversation. I don’t think any of them would be prepared to learn about her dreams.
Jessica,
I don’t think so either.
Enjoyed the snippet! This is a truly fun story, so many possibilities and twists and turns.
Veronica,
So glad you’re enjoying the tale.
The situation gets more intriguing each week. BTW, the link from Weekend Writing Warriors doesn’t work, but the Snippet Sunday link does.
That’s weird that WWW link doesn’t work. It’s working on my end. Anyone else having the same problem?
Something tells me she’s not going to have to make a trip to find things getting all trippy again. Nice build up, Karen!
Nancy,
Thank you.
Is the band’s name an indication of her relationship with Maverick?
Interesting concept but no. 🙂
I do love a good ghost story. i’m definitely intrigued.
I had to get in via Snippet Sunday too. It’s all in the timing. I bet they both wanted to hear more–I know I did! Great snippet!
Very nice! I do love a good ghost story and also a good mystery. This bit has both!
And will she be returning on her own? I know it’d probably taper with her experiment, but I’m also not sure if that’d be an entirely good idea.
Sounds like she’s finally getting the connection she has to the missing rock star. Great snippet, Karen.
