About her
Father

Read this book...

- If you have ever felt the mystery of unexplained connections after the loss of a loved one;
- If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book;
- If you are inspired by music, books and nature;

This unique, touching odyssey will lift your spirit
and show you wonders of miraculous love.

Inspired by the author’s experiences
with her son before and after his death,
The Ghostwriter and the Muse is a testament to the power of love. It begins with a secret promise Neil Galloway made while on his deathbed, and his plan to build a bridge from eternity. His promise to his mother: He would send messages to her, and to their family, through music, writing and signs from the natural world. To complete this bridge and bond between mother and son, Marion Galloway must enter her son’s university writing program and embark, late in life, on a difficult new enterprise—one she would never have conceived of prior to his illness.

The Ghostwriter and the Muse tells of one woman’s odyssey – a journey beginning in grief that leads to healing and renewal. It takes the reader from the suburbs of Houston across the sea to Scotland, and finally, back to Marion’s beloved Texas Hill Country. Along the way, after stretching the boundaries of possibility, Marion receives her promise from beyond and finds herself writing with her Muse. Their stirring tale reminds us of the mysteries of love and speaks to all families who have faced adversity. Their story shows the strength and capacity within each of us.

If you listen carefully, you may hear
in your heart the sound of bagpipes or the whispers that come as a message in music, writing or nature. You may hear voices
from the past that urge you toward a
bright future.
