The House in Harrison front cover

Few people in the small town of Harrison knew there was an abandoned mansion on the hill high above town. No one knew that before the great fire of 1917, this house had been the stage for a tale of romance and murder. Fifty years, later Frank Potter reopens the house in Harrison and spends the summer making it suitable for his grandmother to live in before he leaves for the army. He has no idea that he will encounter a beautiful, cunning, and dangerous ghost, Jolie, or fall in love with a whist of a girl named Anna. Emerging from years spent in darkness and silence, Jolie manages to reassert herself as mistress of the house all the while using Frank and Anna to prepare her revenge. Once more, the house in Harrison becomes the stage for the climax of the performance that began a half century ago.

The players in The House In Harrison

Frank Potter

just graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in art when he accepted the task of making the old mansion a suitable house once more. Nothing he had learned in college prepared him for what he would find when he opened the doors that had been closed for fifty years.

Jolie

was once the mistress of the great house in Harrison. What crime or sin did she commit to be dammed to fifty years of darkness and silence in the house in Harrison? What would she do once she was released from her dungeon?

Anna,

the oldest of six girls who lived just below the house in Harrison, wanted only to leave the small north Idaho town and seek adventure elsewhere. She could not suppress her attraction to Frank even as it drew her closer and closer to the house in Harrison.

was not just the lavish summer home for a rich banker from Spokane and his family. It was constructed cunningly with licentious intent, making it not only the stage for a tragic drama but also a player in the tale. Willingly the house in Harrison served as a haven for the lonely, a playhouse for the wicked, and a prison for the sinner.
