The town of Jim Thorpe is the setting of my novel "Immortal Link," and deals with the lawsuit about Jim Thorpe's body, the Old Jail Museum and the Molly Maguires.
When I chose the town of Jim Thorpe as the setting of my novel, something strange happened: the setting took over and the plot turned paranormal.
I chose Jim Thorpe, PA because I found a man’s first and last name given to a town he never set foot in intriguing. What I did not foresee was how the setting would influence the plot, the characters, and the outcome of the story. I finally let the spirits of Jim Thorpe and its Old Jail take over and many scenes became a surprise for me, the author. The town presented a wonderful background to entertain readers with, as well as introducing them to 'the best athlete who ever lived.' A little over a year ago, I had never even heard of Jim Thorpe; now I am his biggest fan."

Sounds like just another paranormal plot which has been used to many times in the last few years. People are getting tired of that. I wish you luck though and Jim Thorpe Is an odd town, I agree. When is it being published so I can buy a copy?

Did Toad ever pay back the taxpayers of JT for the money he stole by padding his time cards?

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Virgo

You're feeling restless and need to introduce as much variety into your day as possible. However, you'll want this to be on your own terms, and you certainly won't like it if plans are changed without your consent or you feel you've lost control of the situation. Try to take everything in your stride, otherwise you'll end up feeling exhausted and frazzled.
