ABOUT Echo 8’S GHOST
Adelaide “Peggy” Bebb
APRIL 13, 1915–JUNE 23, 1940
Took her life aboard the ferry Kalakala shortly after the deaths of her father and sister
Bureau of Internal Revenue employee, poetry student, daughter, sister, wife
I found life too beautiful and at once too difficult.
I found it rare and splendid, but the moments were too few and dearly paid for.
I found even the beauty painful because I could not speak my bursting heart.
I know the best of life and the worst.
But most of all I know myself to be inadequate to make my life what I wanted to make it.*

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A Romance Writers of America RITA Award finalist and a three-time Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award finalist, Sharon Lynn Fisher writes stories for the geeky at heart—meaty mash-ups of sci-fi, suspense, and romance, with no apology for the latter. She lives where it rains nine months out of the year, and she has a strange obsession with gingers (down to her freaky orange cat). Her works include Ghost Planet (2012), The Ophelia Prophecy (2014), and Echo 8 (2015).
This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
