Ghosts and the Women who LOVE THEM! (including ME!) by Cindy Miles
It also fascinates me to think of HOW they died, and what (and WHO) they may have left behind. Join that with my love of medieval times, warriors and crusaders, knights and sword-fighting, and that supplies me with tons and tons of ideas for my ghostly heroes and the women who fall desperately in love with them. :)
Most have seen this eerie image before. It's one of my favorites! In 1936, two photographers were commisioned to photograph the oak staircase at Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay, NY. One saw what was described as a vaporous mist floating on the staircase. A photograph was quickly taken! When the film was developed, the picture revealed the distinct outline of a woman. The photo first appeared in Country Life magazine on December 16, 1936. Experts examined the picture then, and now. No one has ever been able to find any evidence of fraud or trick photography on the part of the photographers. COOL! (read more about it!)http://www.castleofspirits.com/brownlady.html)
I like to think of that ghostly woman...with a ghostly HERO! :)
My latest ghostly romance, THIRTEEN CHANCES, involves two lovers from the twelfth century who, because of a bumbled magic spell, spend more than 800 years meeting one another--he as a spirit, she as a mortal. For those who have read my backlist, Christian of Arrick-by-the-Sea was first introduced as Gawan of Conwyk's pal in INTO THIN AIR. He met his true love, EMMA, just before leaving for the Crusades. In order to protect Christian, Emma, who'd found an aged book of Welsh spells, tried to concoct a spell to keep him safe. It BACKFIRED! Poor Christian met his fate by saving a young Moorish boy, and with his dying breath he vowed to love Emma for eternity. He does--as a spirit! Meanwhile, poor Emma returns to Arrick every seventy-two years for some unknown reason, drawn to the castle, to the very place, but she doesn't know why. Christian, as a ghost, makes her fall in love with him each and every time, only to lose her in the end. He's lost her twelve times, his heart breaking more and more. Here is my inspiration for Arrick-by-the-Sea:
Well, the Ballaster sisters, four White Witches, have vowed to bring Christian's and Emma's love and souls together--this time for KEEPS. They discover an aged, DANGEROUS spell, and they've only got one shot at making it work. It's Christian's and Emma's thirteenth, and final, chance. Here's my inspiration for the Ballaster's B&B, where Emma books her month-long stay:
I had so much FUN writing Thirteen Chances! My inspiration for Christian and Emma was, strangely enough, ONE SINGLE PIC of one of my FAVORITES, Brendan Fraser, and Alicia Silverstone liplocked! It is so very sweet and romantic to me (as is the movie it came from: Blast From the Past!)
Brendan has been a favorite of mine since his ENCINO MAN days. He's so...lovable and sexy all at once, and if you've ever caught him in a state of anger (The Mummy Movies!) you can see just how sexily FIERCE he can be, as well. I love his lumbering walk, his mannerisms, and those sexy lips! :) And, I love his sincerity. VERY APPEALING!
And, for those who have read my backlist, you'll be happy to find (I HOPE!!!) ALL of my heroes and heroines, INTERACTING, in Thirteen Chances! It was so much fun! Some scenes have just short cameos, but they were still a riot to write. Those folks really do seem REAL to me, and it's always great to make them pop back up in another story. :) I hope you enjoy!
Thanks so much for having me here, and for those of you who pick up a copy of Thirteen Chances, THANK YOU!!!! I hope you love Christian and Emma as much as I do! And, I love hearing from readers and writers alike. Visit me at my home on the web: www.cindy-miles.com
And be sure to watch for two more Cindy Miles releases this year! My short story, A CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, will be included in A HIGHLANDER CHRISTMAS, due out November 3rd. This is one of Ethan Munro's ancestor's, GABRIEL MUNRO! And included in The Mammoth Book of Time Travel Romance is my contribution, THE GLOAMING HOUR, due out December 8th!
Thanks again, and THANK YOU for all your support!
Bestselling NAL author, Cindy Miles grew up on Georgia's haunted coast. Forging her love of storytelling with tales of restless spirits has become a dream fulfilled. With inspiration from Charles Dickens, she adds a touch of whimsy to her ghostly romances. Once she discovered centuries-old castle ruins in the blustery north of England, Scotland, and Wales, fierce warriors from bygone years--who may still be lingering–-came to life, as well as the women hard-headed enough to handle them! Cindy still lives on Georgia's haunted coast. And every chance she gets, she crosses The Pond to explore crumbly castles and eerie moors, and with any luck, uncover a mischievous spirit or two!
Leave a comment for Cindy along with your email addy to have a chance to win one of two copies of THIRTEEN CHANCES. Winners will be announced at the end of the week.

Your book sounds great...and not to scary.
When I was in my early teens (1960's), I saw a few vampire movies that scared the sh*t out of me and left me with nightmares....then when I first married at 18, my hubby took me (along with a group of his friends) to see Exorcist...a movie I could not watch all the way through and left me again with nightmares.
I like PNR if it is about the future, time travel, ghosts or even vampires as long as they are the good guys and aren't out to scare the bejesus out of me.
I've not read your books before, but would love to read one.

Hey Cindy! I'm a huge fan of old cemetaries, too (and castles and ghosts and Brenden Fraser! lol). You can learn so much about the history of a place by walking through an old graveyard. Thirteen Chances sounds fantastic and I will be going out to look for it. BTW, I'm so glad we had the chance to meet at RT!

Hey Cindy! I'm a Georgia girl too.
I do love the ghosties and all things dead. I'm a bit morbid myself. I think Rob Zombie's song Living Dead Girl pretty much sums it up. "Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love of the dead?" lol

Cemeteries hold a fascination for me,as well. I'm both curious and afraid though for what I might feel when I enter such a sanctuary. I get it from my mother, she senses lots of things.
Interesting story about the ghost in Raynham Hall. Makes you wonder why she was still hanging around.
Thirteen Chances sounds like a wonderful romantic read. Especially since your inspiration for TC was Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone. I just loved them in Blast from the Past, they had such chemistry.
Please count me in for the drawing. - September 2, 2009 at 2:07 PM

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one with the "dead" facination. I too always wonder what the past was like. I know of a cottonwood tree in the AZ desert that four adults holding hands can not reach around it. It's ancient. I look at the dirt and wonder whose foot prints I'm standing in, who sit in it's shade, what wars has it witnessed.
Your book sounds wonderful!!! I love stories about lovers finding and losing each other, fighting through eternity for the one thing that will make them whole. - September 2, 2009 at 2:32 PM

I'm hoping that someone can help me with this very strange issue I'm having while upgrading my clients from 1.39h to 1.5. I'm having this particular issue on all three upgrades im working on right now and need to figure out how to get this fixed before starting more!
The problem is that when I click on the add to cart button on the product_info page im sent to a page not found page. I can get to the shopping cart by clicking on it in the header but not on the product_info page. I disabled the htaccess file and almost all the mods and still no luck. It's very strange, I dont think I have ever run in to this particular issue before. I also switched the template over to the default to see if that would work but no luck. Any help on thie would be GREATLY appreciated.

For many Tuesday was a day of remembrance of that fateful day in 2001, but for first and second grade students at Yellow Creek School Center it was a day for a history lesson. For many of these youngsters, who were not yet born when the planes hit the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and crashed in Pennsylvania, this was their first lesson on the tragedy. Faculty members talked about their memories of that fateful day and the impact it had on the nation. Special guests at the program were representatives from the Middlesboro police and fire departments, who in addition to talking about 9/11 discussed their role in serving and protecting the community. After their conclusion of the program, the students presented the firemen and police officers with art work and writings they had done for their departments.

KELOWNA, British Columbia, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Two of the leading creative and business minds behind Disney's Club Penguin, the number one virtual world for children, have formed Hyper Hippo Productions, a new studio that promises to offer fun and imaginative children's properties for a wide range of digital platforms.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130320/NE80505LOGO )
Lance Priebe, co-founder and creator of Club Penguin, and Pascale Audette, former Studio Head and Vice President of Global Operations for Disney Online Studios, will develop quality entertainment for children under the Hyper Hippo label. With unique applications and compelling storytelling that reward good actions and values, the digital properties will reflect real world ideals, thus encouraging and enabling socially responsible behaviors virtually in order to generate impact on a local and global scale.
"We are dedicated to creating a fantastic studio that will not only radically change how the industry perceives digital entertainment, but one that will positively impact children's lives for years to come," said Audette. "In addition, it is important for us to invest in our local community through initiatives that increase the technology footprint in Kelowna, and in the global community through social outreach programs. Simply, our end goal is to make a positive impact in the world."
Mech Mice, Hyper Hippo's much anticipated first offering, has been a long time dream of Priebe's, with development beginning prior to Club Penguin. An episodic journey, Mech Mice blends together rich story with a tactical strategy experience for a young generation of kids (ages 10 and up). The property is scheduled for release in 2013 and an open beta program will begin this summer.
