FAIR MAIDEN GHOST

FAIR MAIDEN GHOST is nearing completion and I will soon be marketing it to agents and/or publishers…

It’s the Victorian era in England, but Contessa is from the medieval past. She awakens within an enchanted bedchamber in a castle she has never seen. Knowledge of her own name also evades her. But even worse than not knowing who or where she is, she cannot recall how she died or why her spiritual body is clothed in a wedding gown.

As a standalone romance, FAIR MAIDEN GHOST spins an unusual take on Sleeping Beauty. Contessa awakens without a kiss, she falls in love with an earl, and the prince is the villain instead of the hero. This romantic fairytale will appeal to readers who may not like ghost stories. Contessa is so sweet and innocent there is nothing terrifying about her, and Christian, the earl, falls head over heels for her. Together they try to discover who she is, and break the spell holding her in a prison of death.

Romance

I’m finding, as I continue to write, that I’m a major sap…or romantic, or however you’d like to put it. And I’m not ashamed of it. Ha Ha Ha. Here’s a sappy quote I just added to my website:

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” ~ Bruce Lee (Weird, I didn't know he was such a romantic. Great quote though!)

And the other thing I’ve been working on…

A ghost fantasy entitled MY FAIR GHOST or FAIR MAIDEN GHOST. I haven’t decided yet. This is a story about a girl who wakes up to discover that she is dead, but she doesn’t know who she is, how she died, or even where she is.

And here is a little taste of that…

“Glancing down at herself, she trembled with humorless giggles when she realized she wasn’t really sitting on the floor as she’d thought, but again hovering just as apparitions should.” ~ MY FAIR GHOST

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ll confess I do neglect this blog, but I have a good reason for it. I’ve been writing, which in my opinion, is a good use of my time.

I’m nearly finished with the sequel to FATEFUL, which is entitled FRACTURED. Here is a quote from it, just to spark your interest…

“Raw fish? Are you sure about that?” ~ Danielle Darcey

And later...“Well, apparently I’m chopstick challenged." ~ Also Danielle

From Fateful...

“But how can I be certain? What if she is the one and I can’t see it? Or what if she isn’t, but I think she is?” ~ Ethan Deveroux

I found this quote to be quite fascinating.

“Might I pose a question…Which is worse: Authors who send unintentional bad messages to their readers, particularly young impressionable ones—or—authors who send subtle but intentional good lessons? Now that’s an interesting thought…. Do authors have a responsibility to take care in what they write where innocent readers are concerned? Or is it simply about creativity?” ~ Author unknown.

Yet another quote from Fateful...enjoy!

“What else did you do? You were gone all day; you couldn’t have spent the whole time at the ruins—er—snoggin’ each other.” ~ Breanna Darcey
