- Book 2 of 5: THE LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
On the other side of the ocean in a picturesque English village, Cate Nightingale -- attractive young mother, recent grandmother, and lifelong psychic -- was slowly realizing that her village was sick, getting sicker by the day, dying. People were dying too, being murdered in grisly, horrific ways. By something. Some thing. A psychopathic spiritual presence that had cast a poisonous shadow over the entire village, that had tainted the fragrant rural breezes with the stench of rot and decay.
The Light at the Top of the Stairs is an epic, moving tale about good people coming together to fight fearsome evil; about love, friendship and family bonds; about ancestry, bloodlines, family trees and the hidden secrets of the past; about our human journey to self-discovery and self-acceptance and the roadblocks we unintentionally create to sabotage our progress; and about how the fear of experiencing life can sometimes be much worse than the fear of experiencing death.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Volume 2 of THE LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS is NOT a stand-alone story. Rather, it is the second installment -- ALL 5 VOLUMES NOW AVAILABLE! -- of an unforgettable tale that begins in Volume 1, then continues and concludes in subsequent volumes -- ALL 5 VOLUMES NOW AVAILABLE! -- also in e-book form.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Wayne Shepherd was born in Bombay, India, lived his early years in London, England, then decided at age eleven to emigrate to Canada, because that’s where the rest of the family were going. He’s been a writer his whole life — a significant chunk of which was spent writing The Light at the Top of the Stairs.
Wayne lives in Toronto with his sister Gillian who is a perpetual source of joy and inspiration, and a constant reminder of what is truly important in life.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone.
