Excerpt
That’s when I saw my face on the
TV. It was my high school picture from four years ago. My face was fuller since
I had lost 25 pounds this year from spending some of my spare time on a
recreational soccer team but overall, I looked the same. There was no way I
could fool myself into thinking it wasn’t me on the television screen. Next to
the picture were the stats that once belonged to my physical self. The
conservative looking reporter with his perfectly brushed come-over and bright
blue eyes said I was 5’9, 145 pounds, black curly hair, dark skin, hazel eyes.
My body shuttered from crying with no tears. It was a pathetic scene (which I
was glad no one could see) but I cried harder knowing there was really no
relief from this terrible pain. In life, tears were a way of watching emotional
pain flee from the body, but now they were stuffed deep down inside of me
somewhere and bottled up with a cork. I couldn’t hear what was being said on
the TV and really didn’t want to. My parents must have gone to the police and
said I was missing. I disappeared just in time to make the 11 O’clock news; I’m
sure my killer was at home enjoying this. Exploding in anger, I punched the
outside wall that faced the street. The couple sitting side by side on the
couch shivered and moved apart. They felt me! “Hello!” I screamed at the top of
my lungs. They didn’t budge anymore, but for a moment they did feel me. There
was no hole in the wall, but they must have heard when the punch landed. For a
short time, I was a part of the normal world again.

1.
What did you learn while writing your book?
I learned that if you really have a passion for
writing, your writing will take up a life of its own. Your characters will start
doing all sorts of things all by themselves. I thought when writers mentioned
this it was myth but, as I wrote I saw my book bloom into something better than
I could imagine.
2. What are you working on right now?
I’m always a freelancer looking for work in the
entertainment, beauty, health and book world. I’m spending most of my time
right now preparing to attend the 2013
Indie Bookfest, meeting new fans and working on the third book in the
Soul Sisters series!
3. What gave you the desire to write?
I loved writing in high school but never had the
time to finish anything. After leaving college because of my Fibromyalgia
writing became a way for me to escape from my pain. The more I read the more I
was inspired to write and tell my own stories. In a way I’m grateful for the
unexpected turn my life took because I love to write so much.
4. Who is your favorite author and why do you enjoy their work so much?
My favorite author is Stephanie Meyers. Despite how much negativity surrounds her Twilight books, the women renewed
people’s love for reading (me included).
It was just such a wonderful story that though the writing was simple it
pulled me in and I could never put it down! Her work really inspired me to
write a good story because after all that truly is what reading is all about.
5. Do you have anything specific that you want
to say to your readers?
Thank you so much for wanting to read my book! There are so many wonderful reads out there
and I never take for granted that you chose to read my book. Always, happy
reading!
Praise for Good Ghost Gone Bad:
“This book was so
good I couldn't put it down, but that was also because I was so scared I was
gripping my e-reader too tightly. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
This book is certain to be a cult classic YA Horror. I can't wait to read more
from this author.”
-Avid Reader
“This book was a fun, quick read that would be great for any
horror fan. The main character, Brianna, is brutally murdered by a crazy serial
killer and her ghost is left in limbo with out the ability to move on. When
that same serial killer begins to stalk Brianna's little sister, past victims
of the same guy show up with a murderous plot to protect the innocent while
pursuing some much needed vengeance!
It's bloody, it's gory, it's vindictive, and
it's frightening! This novella will make you think twice about the things that
go bump in the night.”
