Liam O'Malley was just looking for an honest job. The California Gold Rush wasn't paying off for him, and he was tired of living in tents. In San Francisco he did find employment, but he wasn't sure how honest. He found himself assistant to a Daguerreotype photographer who specialized in photographing ghosts and departed spirits. Of course the pictures were all fake. Liam became sure of that when he learned to make the pictures himself.

Autorenporträt
The author being me, Steve Bartholomew. My friends and enemies call me Bart. I don't think I have many enemies. I don't like writing about myself because there are more interesting things out there, stuff like flying saucers and fairies. When I was in high school I tried to discuss some of those things in science class. I was told not to waste my time. So I decided to be a writer instead of a scientist. I learned some science anyway. In the U.S. Army I learned about electronics, rocket engines, and math. It was better than high school, even better than college. Luckily I never had to shoot anyone, but I learned how to do it. After that I worked mostly in civil service jobs for different levels of government. I ended up as a social worker, till I could take up full time writing. I write a lot of historical fiction because I find history fascinating. I have met people who say history is boring. I tell them they have been victimized by their school systems. History contains some of the wildest stories you can imagine. As they say, you couldn't make it up. I live now in Northern California, next to an ancient lake and a volcano, where natives have dwelled at least 20,000 years. I hope you like the story I have just told you. I have others to tell, which you may find online at the usual places, or in your bookstore. Some of my tales are spooky, because that is also history. But don't worry, I don't write in the genre of horror. There's another Steve who does that much better.
