"Mind Sweeper" Released
Posted Thursday, 01/07/21
Mind Sweeper was released by Club Lighthouse Publishing today. The novel is available in multiple e-book formats from Club Lighthouse, in paperback and Nook editions at Barnes & Noble, and in paperback and Kindle editions from Amazon.
Newly-widowed Beth Mills accepts an outpouring of sympathy from her community after a freak mining accident takes the life of her husband, Aaron. Unbeknownst to anyone, she is secretly delighted that her cruel husband is lost to her, but never expects his vicious ghost to return and haunt her in more ways than one.
I initially formed the storyline for Mind Sweeper in August 2007. I was watching MSNBC News on television in my house in Spokane when there was a break in regular coverage to report the Crandall Mines disaster in Utah. While the accident was tragic, within minutes the idea for Mind Sweeper began formulating in my head. I don't typically get inspiration from bad news on the tube, but this time it was different. I think I had the complete outline for my story within an hour, all jotted down on paper. Later that day, I began writing in earnest.
There is one person I'd like to thank posthumously, for without him Mind Sweeper would never have come to fruition. My late father (Bernard "Barney" O'Toole) was Geophysicist, and his life's work revolved around various types of mining in all parts of the world. I learned much from him about the industry. Of all my books, dedicating Mind Sweeper to him seemed the most apropos.
Thanks, Dad. :)
