FAIR MAIDEN GHOST

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

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!)
