There are two of them.
Wanted: One Ghost
by Loni
Lynne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Stuck in ghostly limbo for 238 years, James Addison can't move on
to an afterlife. After being falsely
accused of treason and executed, fate's cursed him to remain an earth-bound
specter until he meets a historian sent to research his past.
Distrustful
of fate, Dr. April Branford wants to be taken seriously, but her unique ability
to divine history by touching objects seriously compromises her credibility.
Her latest assignment? James Addison, a legendary
colonial ladies' man with a shadowy past.
Without much to go on, she doesn't hold out much hope to discover the
man behind the legend until the day she accidentally touches him and brings him
back to life.
With
the help of family and ghosts from James’s past, they unravel the truth. But
after falling in love and with time running out, it’s hard for April to believe
in fate and a future where forever is now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
“Who are
you?”April asked.
“You already
know the answer, Dr. Branford. You saw me out at the mill the other day.”
Her eyes
widened. “You’re…James Addison.”
She knew. But
whether or not she accepted the knowledge was yet to be seen.
“Really, I
did want to tell you the truth about me, but I couldn’t. Not knowing how you
would react, I couldn’t take the chance of having you run away from me. I don’t
want you to fear me, or what I am. You’re the only person who has ever been
able to see me in this form. But more importantly, you’re the only person who’s
cared.”
She stopped
and turned. “I can see you. But you’re not real…I don’t know…”
“You make me
feel real again,” he said softly.
She muttered
profanities under her breath. “I don’t have time for ghosts. I’ve a case to
solve. Go back to wherever it is you came from.” April waved him off.
“I can’t.
This is where I am. Right here, right now. There is no place for me to go back
to.” James knew this couldn’t be easy for her to understand. “Perhaps I could
be of assistance to you, since you know who I am.”
“How do I
know you really are James Addison?”
“You don’t,”
he agreed. “But what would it take to prove to you I am?”
“Tell me
where he is buried,” she challenged.
James
shrugged. “Easy enough, but I would prefer to show you.”
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Loni Lynne is
a stay at home mom, domestic goddess, U.S. Navy Veteran and
lover of all
things vintage/shabby-chic/Victorian and antique. From china cups
and tea sets
to lace doilies crocheted by hand (her grandmother made the best)
she believes
a touch of femininity never goes out of style.
Growing up
all over the country she's been blessed with experiencing a good
deal of
culture and lifestyles. Much like her personality, she has eclectic
tastes in
what she likes to read and write. There is no 'one' genre in which
she settles
for.
God and fate
have been big influences in her life. Both have taken her to
places she
never thought she'd be, both in the physical sense and in the
spiritual.
She wrote brief stories and snippets of life as it happened to her
in her youth,
and encouraged by her teachers, continued to write. Blessed with
a loving
supportive family growing up, she was able to explore her options
which at
times have been put into use in her stories. The Navy--and fate,
afforded her
the opportunity to meet her Army, "Annapolis-native" husband and
team up with
him to parent two beautiful daughters.
Years later,
her husband gave her the best birthday present ever--a laptop, a
membership to
Romance Writers of America and a goal to complete a
manuscript
for submission by her next birthday. She did it. A few years later
she was
blessed with one of those novels, Wanted: One Ghost, as her
debut novel.

Andra,
ReplyDeleteSome say writers block is not real part of me agrees. To me it's sitting down and just typing, letting the story just flow out onto the keyboard.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. Thank you for hosting me today! :)
