Leah Mason is an ice cream slinger by day and a ghost hunter by night. Having been judged by some of the people of her home town of Black Springs, Colorado unjustly, she wants only to use her gift of clairvoyance to help ghosts and gather evidence of the other side. But living the life she wants seems impossible until her high school crush Michael Dresden walks into her mother’s ice cream parlor, Supernatural Flavors.
Back from traveling around the
world, Michael has a problem. His house is being renovated and strange occurrences lead him to believe that the
residence might be haunted. Leah is the only one he can turn to for help.
Wearing her amulet around her neck, Leah knows the dark entity
terrorizing Michael's house is after
her family’s magic and must be stopped.
Now, she must defeat the demon
and prove to skeptic Michael that love and the otherworldly do exist.
It’s just hard to believe until it happens to you.
Sounds like my kind of book!
What is your favorite
thing about being a writer?
Telling the stories of love and the paranormal.
Is there a message in
your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Believe in love.
Are any of your
characters based on real people or events?
I base some of the ghostly happenings in my book on my
childhood.
What books or authors
have most influenced your life?
I love historical novels, paranormal or not. Katherine Sutcliffe’s, A FIRE IN THE HEART,
is a beautiful story that I re-read every chance I get.
How do your family
and/or friends feel about your book or writing venture in general?
I have such a supportive husband and family.
How do you come up
with the titles?
Titles are hard for me. I start with writing down things,
people, places that are in my book and rearrange words until I have a
title.
Has your life changed
significantly since becoming a published writer?
My time is more dedicated to my writing than ever.
Do you work on one
project at a time? Or do you multi-task?
I try really hard to multi-task as much as possible.
Can you give us an excerpt of The Amulet?
“Thanks
for coming in.” Leah choked out the words. Her heart pounded as she handed the
change back to Michael Dresden, the tips of her fingers met his skin.
He
smiled and nodded biting into his Blackest Soul Walnut ice cream. As soon as he
turned and headed for the door Leah made for the backroom.
Leah
peeked around the corner one more time to make sure the man that she had
dreamed about for the last eight years was gone. Not seeing anyone, she tilted
her head, one eye discreetly scanning the room. Satisfied, she leaned against
the doorframe. He was gone. She shut her eyes tightly willing the hot tears
back.
One
thing was for sure. He hadn’t remembered her. Seeing his eyes searching her
cheesy striped vest for a nametag was her first indication.
The
six-foot-two-inch, hunky, blond Michael Dresden, with those mesmerizing green
eyes, had grown into adulthood and he didn’t know who she was. He had lost his
boyish looks and swapped them out for manly, rugged features that included
stubble and a little too long, blond hair. He was just as handsome now as he
ever was.
The
thought made her feel as un-pretty as ever. Sure, she had lost weight since
high school but she still rocked a curvy form. The bigger curves had thinned
out over her five foot seven, medium frame after high school. Learning about
hair products and how to use them to fight her black, riotous curls had helped
her look evolve. She had changed a lot too, so it wasn’t out of the realm of
reality that he didn’t remember her. After all there were eighty of them that
had graduated together. Surely she’d forgotten a few of them too.
That was almost a comforting thought.
