    About this ebook

    It is the summer of 1948 and Richard P. Eaton has come to the remote village of Lysandareth for a holiday. The first morning while walking on the beach, he becomes involved in some "most unusual" events. As the story unfolds, he meets Elizabeth and she helps him try to understand the mysterious events that are happening around him.

    This is the first part of The Lost Mansion of Sojourn trilogy, a historical multimedia novel about my search for reality and identity in a world that is familiar yet often hard to understand - and occasionally mysteriously supernatural!

Perhaps eventually someone will discover my writings and take up the exploration.
