About the Book
Chasing Ghosts addresses an unanswered question left by the completion of Dancing on His Grave and Walking Wounded.
What was in Ed Fiske's background that produced such a monster?
Genealogy research by his daughters, on which this book is based, found several generations of a family that exploited and flaunted the law and social norms. Plagued by illiteracy, all of Eds mothers siblings except her had prison or arrest records. Included in the family history are murder, robbery, prostitution, adultery and incest.
Eds relationship with his father was fraught with violence. With his mother, it appears to be a classic case of the Oedipus complex. When she thwarted his possessive will and chose his father over him, she became the first female target of his unbridled, explosive rage, and she didnt survive.
Chasing Ghosts is laced with history and fascinating descriptions of life in the American Midwest during late 1880s and early 1900s. Horse trading--and horse stealing-- prison conditions in both the U.S and Canada, Victorian-era treatment for gunshot wounds, attitudes toward education, rail and river travel, devastating Midwest winters, homesteading and westward expansion, and many other little-discussed historical facts are skillfully woven into the fabric of the story.

Autoren-Porträt von Barbara Richard
Barbara Richard, the fourth of five children, grew up on a hard-scrabble farm/ranch in the Vida area of McCone County. After high school graduation, she attended beauty school, and in 1960, at age nineteen, opened her first business. In 1982, she formed a consulting firm for the purpose of helping small Montana cities and towns develop community and economic development projects. Six years ago she retired as president of the company and began the completion of Dancing on His Grave, a memoir she started in 1982, shortly after her father’s death. Dancing, was self-published in 2006. In 2007 the sequel, Walking Wounded was released. The final book of the trilogy, Chasing Ghosts, a work of historical fiction and the prequel to Dancing, was released in 2008.
In 2006, Dancing on His Grave placed fourth in the Life Stories category of the Writer’s Digest International Self-Published Books contest--in the top forty books from among more than 2400 entries overall. In addition, an excerpt from Walking Wounded called The Blizzard of 1964 placed in the top 100 stories from over 19,000 entries in the Writer’s Digest 2006 Writing Contest.
Her five children grown, Barbara has thirteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She lives in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, with her husband, Jim.
