Hello Ghosts and Guardians!

Pre-orders have slowed down in the past few weeks. So have my updates. Correlation? Causation? I’ll make you a deal. I will post more updates, add some fun, and you can keep commenting and spreading the word about A Tale of Ghosts and Guardians. 

Halloween is coming and that will be the perfect time to attract readers to ghosts, mummies, witches, werewolves, zombies, vampires, and Frankenstein monsters.

Every Monday for the next six weeks I will post a spotlight from my monster files, which explains how each type of monster lives and behaves in the world of A Tale of Ghosts and Guardians.

This week’s spotlight is on the titular GHOSTS

Spooooky!

When the living spend an extraordinary amount of time with an object, location, or another living being, they form a connection that is hard to sever, even when they are gone. Ghosts are the dead come back for a life cut short; for a chance not taken; for a love not requited. They thrive on regret. Not all ghosts can be seen. Not all ghosts can be heard. All ghosts can affect the world of the living, despite not being able to touch it. Ghosts are not beholden to the rules of the physical world. They can float through any material, move objects as large as a person, and possess human bodies to do their bidding. Because of this, ghosts are difficult to defeat, but they are always vulnerable to a powerful witch.

Don’t forget to check out the excerpt from Afterimage, a Monique chapter, posted on my front page. This is an exchange between Monique the vampire and Kara the ghost, which highlights how each woman perceives the world and how being monsters affects them.

And look for the Living Dead spotlight next Monday!
