Romance Paranormal | Erotic Paranormal

Kate Casterbridge, professor of Victorian literature, prefers to spend her evenings alone with her cat on her lap and her nose in a book. Aidan More, the world’s preeminent scholar on witches and witch burnings, has suffered the tortures of the damned over thousands of years and hundreds of incarnations. He’s bone weary and determined at all costs to fulfill the ancient obligation that binds him.

When Kate shakes hands with her drop-dead gorgeous new colleague, she knows he’s in mortal danger. A confirmed skeptic about paranormal phenomena, she’s shocked and terrified by this sinister premonition. And that’s just the beginning of what’s in store for the shy, scholarly professor and the sexy stud with a dark, horrific secret.

Aidan bewitches Kate right into his bed, where they have the hottest sex she’s ever experienced. But is there more to this mysterious stranger than meets the eye? Kate crashes head-on into a world where witchcraft is alive and well and ancient evil still holds sway—and where she’s in grave danger of losing more than just her heart.

Thanks for your good wishes, Mary!

Congratulations on turning a negative into a positive and
giving us a new author to follow in the process.

My hubby lost his job with a company that he had been with for almost 25 year---he was just devastated. It changed our entire lives and our life plans--he never did find another job so he "retired" early, but I'm still working and don't know if I will ever quit. It takes a lot of work to keep our relationship good because now after 20 years of his not working our interests have grown apart.

Thanks for comments Ilona, Rosanna and Sue. Sue, I know exactly what you're experiencing. Three years ago my husband and I were layed off within weeks of each other.He is still actively looking, but it has definitely affected our relationship. There are days when I come home from work exhausted and he wants to talk because he's been home alone all day. I feel terrible for heading to the bedroom and shutting the door, but I need time to unwind. The main saving grace for us, however, is that my husband is an artist and he works at his art every day, as well as doing an occasional freelance job, so we still have active shared interests. It is sometimes overwhelming to think about not being adequately prepared for retirement - I definitely feel your pain.

When my husband retired from the AF and we relocated to Florida, I decided to become a stay-at-home Mom. It was the right decision to make at the time. I did a lot of volunteering with BSA, my church, various sports teams my son's were on. Now that they are both out of the house, I am finding my skills are very rusty. With the economy what it is, finding a job tough.

Congrats on your first book. I think the cover is awesome.

I like how you stayed on your plan to be a writer and kept writing down scenes your characters played. Looks like a good read and I sure like Romance.
(Alyson Widen 7:09pm April 13, 2012)

Thanks, Robin and Alyson. Isn't the cover fantastic? I was thrilled when I first saw it, featuring Jimmy Thomas, who's appeared on more romance covers than any other model and who is absolutely hot!

Robin, good luck with your job hunt. It's great that you chose to be a stay-at-home Mom and volunteer while you're boys were growing up.

Alyson, I hope you enjoy Cursed. I loved writing it, and I appreciate your words of support.

When my Husband lost his job, it started out as being the worst. We lost our house of 13 years, along with most of our furniture, our appliances, and most of our clothing and some other belongings. We packed up what we could in our pop-up camper and small pick-up truck when the day finally arrived, grabbed our dog, and headed for the nearest campground, which was to be our new home. We did this for a while until we found an ad in the paper for an apartment that we could afford. We are still in that complex now, and are currently the Caretakers!! It turned out to be a blessing, because we love living out in the country now. I also learned that I'm a stronger person than I realized, because it takes a strong person to start over again with practically nothing. I appreciate what I have. I adore the cover of your book, and I'm anxious to get my hands on it. I give you credit for going after your dream, since writing was always one of mine. Congratulations!!

I am not sure if unemployment is good, I have seen to meny families
loose homes, to meny men loose there selfworth and both of those
things are hard to see.
(Vickie Hightower 10:44pm April 13, 2012)

Peggy, Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so inspired by how you started over and made a good life for yourselves. You are a strong person and you still have time to start writing! Go for it, and may your life continue to get better and better!
(Beth Harrison 9:58am April 14, 2012)

Vickie, I agree with you that unemployment is often devestating and CAN be the worst thing that ever happens to an individual or a family. I was one of the lucky ones!
(Beth Harrison 9:59am April 14, 2012)

Great job learning how to reinvent yourself and push on to better things. Keep on writing, and God Bless!
(Ann Thaxton 2:40pm April 14, 2012)

Thanks, Ann!

How wonderful that you had a "backup plan" to your regular job. It's marvelous that we sometimes are able to find something completely different to do when a door is closed to us. I'm not a writer at all, but I can proofread other people's writing; I used to be an English and French teacher--to students who were learning them as their second or third languages. But creative? I'm not.
(Sigrun Schulz 4:32am April 15, 2012)

Sigrun, I think that we're all creative, and that our creativity manifests itself in different arenas. I think that teaching is an extremely creative profession! Thanks for your comment!
