This diary became the secret place where Ellen could confess her fears of the new marriage, her confusion over her emerging sexuality, and the nightmare that her life would become. The diary not only follows the development of a girl into womanhood, it follows the construction of the Rimbauer mansion—called Rose Red—an enormous home that would be the site of so many horrific and inexplicable tragedies in the years ahead.The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red is a rare document, one that gives us an unusual view of daily life among the aristocracy in the early 1900s, a window into one woman's hidden emotional torment, and a record of the mysterious events at Rose Red that scandalized Seattle society at the time—events that can only be fully understood now that the diary has come to light. Edited by Joyce Reardon, Ph.D. as part of her research, the diary is being published as preparations are being made by Dr. Reardon to enter Rose Red and fully investigate its disturbing history.

"This is a great start for a new series.""Good writing, good first-person narrative, and fast paced adventure and scares keep those Kindle pages turning.""The Dark Man (The Graveyard #1) by Desmond Doane is a good scary story that had me hooked right away.""Masterpiece of horror.""There is so much to recommend this novel that I don't quite know where to start.""It's a fun story. Creepy at times, but that's a good thing.""The characters were engaging, and the mysteries and evil entities were intriguing and scary.""I watch just about all the ghost hunting and paranormal shows out there and I could swear Desmond Doane was more than a pen name for an author but rather for someone who actually worked on one of those shows as I marveled at his expertise at the back of the scene dynamics of these shows.""Is it astonishing to call a paranormal novel both scary and heartwarming? Both in-your-face horrifying and also touching?""My new best friend, Ford Atticus Ford. He's quite the flawed character but I love him anyway.""Well written and highly recommended. Two thumbs up.""Desmond Doane aka Ernie Lindsey has created a tale as good and as frightening as Koontz or King.""The Dark Man was a delicious discovery for a cool autumn evening.""If you're a fan of Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures, The Dark Man will deliver the terrifying "thrill" of hauntings that their cameras will never be so lucky to catch."
