Ghost Writer Reviews The Award Winning Mystery Novel "THE POND"


Ghost Writer Reviews THE POND
Reader Rating: 5 Stars *****

"Enjoyable Read!" THE POND

Author: Tamera Lawrence

Since childhood, Mike Adams has had a guilty conscience about the accidental death of his best friend Carl. After arranging a play date with Carl at his home, Mike's family was called out of town due to a death in the family. The Adams' servant who answered the door sent young Carl away in the middle of a raging snow storm. Carl's mom dropped Carl off on her way to an appointment, and was not scheduled to return for several hours. Carl decides to walk home. Carl takes a short cut through Fanny's Farm.. Thinking that the pond was frozen solid Carl begins to cross the pond, and the semi-frozen pond cracks. Carl goes under and drowns. When the Adams family returns home, it several days before Mike learns of his buddy's death. Carl's death is not spoken of in the Adams' home and Mike's knowledge of what happened is limited to information garnered from conversations that overhears.

When Mike returns to the family mansion, with his own family, and begins asking questions, unexplained events begin to happen. After the occurrence of a number of inexplicable events, Mike begins to suspect that his elderly neighbors the Grays are connected to both Carl's drowning and the strange events occurring at his home.

"The Pond" is a rated PG tale of suspense. The lack of violence, explicit sex, and profanity makes "The Pond" an enjoyable read for young adults as well as mature adults. The paranormal ending was a surprising twist. Paranormal and Fantasy are very popular among young adult readers. The author maintains suspense throughout the story by slowly doling out information.

The Imagination of a Writer By Tamera Lawrence

If you have ever wondered, writer’s brains seem to be wired just a bit differently than others. For example, I’ve had people ask me ‘How in the world do you write a book?’ It can be a bit intimidating, but once you allow your imagination to run free, it can be as simple as racing to get your thoughts on paper!

How do you think like a writer? I have a quick, easy test to determine the answer. Have you ever been driving (or riding) past a neighborhood and noticed some interesting homes? Some people may admire the design, structure or large backyard etc, while a writer may wonder who is inside this home? What is their life like? Are their children in the home? Are they happy? Sad? You get the idea. All of these elements are questions that can develop into a novel. Try it sometime! You may be writing your first novel without even realizing it!
 
I used this same approach when writing “The Pond.”

Where do you go when you Die?

When I was young, I was always told that when you die, there was a place in heaven for each of us if we were kind and generous to others.


It’s a nice thought and I’m one of many that believe in that concept. However, it does make you wonder once you pass on, where exactly do you go? Some people believe that once you expire, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It’s just a matter of becoming part of the earth. I tend to think there is more to the other side. Why? It just seems that people who lapse into a clinical death will awaken again and describe such wonderful images and the relatives and friends that meet them. It sounds so wonderful. Yet, there are those who experience the same clinical death and tell horrifying experiences that makes me shudder. Why do different people see different things? Those types of questions won’t be answered until we experience it for ourselves.


Then, there is the occult side of things. That is what intrigues me as a writer. You are probably very familiar with this phenomenon. You know, the ghosts rattling chains in the attic and feeling the chill of a visitor from beyond as they hover around you. Writers are a strange lot at times…we are the ones that will drive by on a country road and see a cottage perched by a lake in the twilight and see a family inside, living their lives. What is the first thing a  does? They ask a question, “I wonder what they are talking about? What is their life like? Are they happy? Do they have secrets?”

Funny, that’s just how “The Pond” came to be.

The Art of Raising Foster Children

When a couple agrees to be foster parents, what exactly should they expect? Certainly, it’s not quite the same as rearing your own children through day to day childhood experiences. The known fact is that fostering is temporary. So, how do foster parents treat these children? As if they are their own? Or, do they step back and parent with detached emotion? I believe the first idea is the desired result.
In the story of “The Pond,” the sweet, next door neighbors, who take this responsibility on, come up with ideas to occupy these children. These foster parents who are firmly rooted in their community and moral values could not have come at a better time for these children in need. As we know, it is difficult to place foster children in homes such as these. And, to hope for parents who are patient, loving and provide the guidance that is so needed in their lives is just a dream come true.


Any case manager stopping by to observe the home, parents and children surely would give extremely high marks. It’s all what we hope for…but is it what the children actually get?


You’ll never view neighbors the same way again. That’s a promise.

Book Review of "The Pond" - Author Tamera Lawrence


Reviewed by Fran L. for ReadersFavorite.com
Rating: ***** (Five out of Five Stars)

Author Biography

Tamera Lawrence was born on February 21st in Norristown, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Methacton High School. She loves to write and is an avid reader. THE POND is her first novel. Currently, she is working on several writing projects and loves to support other writers as they follow their dreams. Tamera also offers book reviews upon request.





Book Review

Eight-year-old Carl Weber died for no reason. When his mom dropped him off at his friend Mike’s house, the maid slammed the door in his face and left this poor child out in the cold. Hoping to find his way home, he decided to cut through what he thought was a frozen pond, only to meet a cold and frigid death. Twenty-five years later, when Mike Adams, his wife Donna, and seven-year-old daughter Kim move into his late mother’s mansion, unexplainable things begin to happen leading back to Carl’s death: things fall, break, and spill for no apparent reason, and the silence of the countryside is deafening. What is really behind his death and what is behind the unusual occurrences in this town?



Author Tamera Lawrence delivers an ending that is filled with strange and unusual surprises and a clever twist that you won’t expect. Not only are the characters well defined, strong and believable, but they blend together creating a compelling, heartbreaking story. Great read for those who enjoy a good mystery.

Winter Cold and Snow Can Bring Fun....... Danger too!

If you live in an area where winter cold brings ice and snow onto our lakes and ponds, you think of the fun of ice skating, ice fishing, ice hockey and the feeling you get walking across a frozen pond.

Unfortunately, along with the fun, you are also well aware of the possibilities of dangers that may also lurk. Expressions have even adopted these dangers as a warning to fit any situation. “You are skating on thin ice!” And, one of the most iconic Holiday movies begins with a group of boys sledding onto a pond with the assumption that it is frozen solid. In “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the main character saves his brother from drowning and loses his hearing in one of his ears. Is it an underlying metaphor to underscore the moral of the story? Perhaps, perhaps not.

The Novel,
“The Pond starts with details of a horrific frozen pond accident that is difficult to shake as a reader (since the incident really happened). As I was writing this book, even I found myself wincing at the characters and the experiences each one of them had to go through. I think you will find this book interesting as you learn more about each character and the demons they possess.
