Ghosts, Family Curses and Jabez's Prayer. My story is titled: The Wishing Well Curse
Ezekiel Jabez Clay accepts an invitation to spend a week in his distant uncle’s enormous estate outside of Pueblo, Colorado while he decides if he is willing to accept the conditions of his inheritance. And why not? Back home, in Austin Texas, he became homeless, divorced, and jobless in one day. Then he awarded himself Schmuck of the Week when he saved the life of his ex-wife’s new lover, John Martin. In order to receive the entire inheritance he has to break a family curse from over a one hundred year ago and restore the loss of true love. But who can he trust? Himself? Twyla Rivers, an eighty-two year old attorney whose interest is in displaced Indians, Clifford Valdez, the law office’s receptionist and Twyla’s nephew who says none of that is important, but freaks out when he sees Zeke’s tattoo. A Pastor who looks like a Hell’s Angel Member, or Luther Clayton, his dead uncle who gives him First Chronicles 4:10, the Jabez Prayer, and an Indian Story about a Coyote’s Curse. Just because his middle name is Jabez, does that mean his dead mother was in on this too? What about the two ghosts: Otto Hoffman and Rosa Lehman, the amazing young lady with ice blue eyes he can only talk to when he’s at the well. And why does his band of thorns tattoo bleed every time he gets near the water well.
Am I at the right Place? Is this where my story belongs? Thank you for your feedback.

I don't know as much about the paranormal thrillers, but I think Kessie is right about the genre.
