Lingering Spirits was written a long while ago. It’s based on a sad happening in my family and I think I wrote it as part of the grieving process. It was first published as an e-book. I have no idea if anyone bought a copy because I never received a single royalty from it. I broke my ties with that particular publisher and it just sat on my computer.

Years later, I had signed with another publisher for my Rocky Bluff P.D. series. When Amazon came out with the Kindle, my publisher asked if I had any old books I’d like to have on Kindle. I thought of Lingering Spirit and she read it and fell in love with it.

Recently she asked if I’d mind if she published Lingering Spirit as a trade paperback. Of course I didn’t mind. To be honest, I was thrilled.

Of course it meant changing gears, the same people who loved my mysteries might not like a romance with supernatural elements in it. I really wasn’t sure how to promote something I wrote so long ago and I’m most grateful to Inkyblots and other blogs who have been so kind to host me while I’m on this tour for Lingering Spirits.

Though the book is a romance, it is not an explicit romance—that’s not something I can do. When you read it, you’ll know I wrote this book from my heart.
