Katie, thank you for having me this week! I’m so excited to chat with your readers. We’re going to spend this week along the Cape Fear River in Wilmington on the deck of the Pilot House in the shade of a few umbrellas. Let’s gather around, get our drinks ordered and then we can discuss the beauty of the boardwalk.

Readers, I’m so happy that you’ve popped in to check out my new book, Whispers at Ghost Point. Those who love lighthouses and hauntings will love the book. Do you enjoy learning about restored lighthouses and those that are bed and breakfasts? Then get comfortable and let’s chat a bit. I’ve just returned from visiting St. Augustine’s lighthouse and I made it all the way to the top to stand on the lookout deck…yes, I made it all the way up 219 steps and also did their Dark of the Moon ghost tour which also got us inside the keeper’s house!

My main character is Dana Kaster. She loves old lighthouses and is determined to remodel one that seems to be off limits to her but she never gives up hope of accomplishing her goals! Let’s imagine for a moment how Dana must have felt the very first time she gets to enter the keeper’s house. I think it may have looked a lot like the photo below. She probably looked over her shoulder a lot, too. Do some of you like ghost stories? Who enjoys exploring those old lighthouses?

My two main characters have lived and loved in another life…are there a few of you who believe that is possible? I hope so because too much in their lives is the same. I’ve reincarnated the characters from No Turning Back so you may want to read that book first. It’s currently on sale for .99 for those who’ve not read it yet. Please know that I’m working very hard on the edits to get things done so I can get this book out to you in a few weeks. Click HERE to read more and to watch the book trailer. There’s also a link to read Ch 1. In the mean time, I’ve got a contest or two going on for you to get into.
