A jealous ghost – seriously?
They say a ghost is the same as the person was in life. So, a playful person would be a playful, mischievous ghost, and a secretive person would make a secretive ghost, hiding stuff and so on. Is it then true that a jealous person would be jealous and possessive of his/her loved ones even after they die? Lawrence had many secrets he kept from Rachel. After he died, he still didn't want her to know certain things about himself. And he hung around to make sure she didn't find out. He was also a possessive husband, to the extent that he preselected a man to take his place should…

How can a bride be haunted?
How can a bride be haunted, I hear you ask. Her wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days in a woman’s life. So, what ghost would be audacious enough to come and put a spoke in her wheel? But this is no ordinary wedding, and Holly no ordinary bride. You see, the man she is marrying is a complete stranger to her – they have never met in person, and spoke on the phone only once. A bit drastic, I hear you say. And not very realistic. Yes, it is, and no, it isn’t. Desperation calls for drastic action. And this isn’t meant to be a real …

ConfessionTime
This is Trip Murgatroyd, just as I saw him in my head while writing his story. Blond, well-built, beautiful. That was why I wanted him on the cover for Interview With A Seducer. He came surfing on the back of Christian Gray, but unlike Christian, Trip wasn’t screwed up by his childhood. He was wholesome, a good South African man with an unusual career. Early reviewers said he detracted from the paranormal theme, and they didn’t like the title ‘Interview With A Seducer’ either. I don’t know about other authors, but I listen to my readers – that is why I say your opinion is so important to me. I…

‘Sex Worker’ as a Literary Trope
The sex worker trope is a popular one in the romance genre. I mean, we had Pretty Woman to prove it, but like with all tropes, there are rules. Faithfulness is one of the most important elements of the romance genre, and one that causes the most pain. Of course, we don’t want outside interference between the hero and heroin. But would a prostitute even be in the market for a mutually exclusive relationship, the kind the romance genre has at its core? My guess is – it is doubtful. From the meet cute – the moment the two first fall into each other’s soup – someone has to change their…

My One And Only Vampire
Slowly but surely, I am beginning to whip Zanephyn Heardt, my uncooperative vampire, into shape. I want to give you a taste of what is to come, but I need to know what you think. Here is a teaser to get you in the mood. Teaser One Prologue The wind and weathers swept the sand until it was smooth and unmarred by infrequent footprints, the sound of the ocean no more than a distant memory. Coastal shrubbery, punctuated by gnarled and twisted trees, formed a circle around the patch of powdery white sand, as if it knew not to encroach on the sacred space. At midnight, with the moon at…

Bridesmaids, Weddings & Honeymoons
Bridesmaids, Weddings & Honeymoons is a fun to read series about what goes on behind the scenes at weddings, and is definitely not to be taken too seriously! Yet, they ooze creep. Normally, the bridesmaid and the best man run off together after the wedding. At weddings, people who haven’t seen each other for a while reconnect, or others to meet new people and to fall in love/lust; some even wake up in the wrong bed the morning after… In Runaway Couple, the bridesmaid and best man have a history, as she had been the victim of his pranks too often growing up. She can’t trust him. In He’s Married, the bride actually marries her…

Karma, or Kismet, or Fate
I was just wondering how you felt about karma. Or fate, or kismet, or destiny. Any word that implies pre-destination in the sense that a person doesn’t steer his of her own ship. I mean, a coachman is relied on to get his young passenger to her destination, regardless of the weather or the time of the night. Whether or not he gets her there safely is out of her hands. She has to blindly trust him to get her where she needs to be. Her karma, or kismet, or fate, whatever you want to call it, is in her coachman’s hands. Read a bit here to see what I mean: https://storyoriginapp.com/giveaways/cbc37928-7b17-11ea-a1aa-5f4ade61dbf4 Finders Keepers An Almost Gothic…
