Carrie Pulkinen | Author-Reader Match: LOVE AND CURSES

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Carrie Pulkinen!

 

Writes:

Award-winning paranormal romance that’s snarky, sassy, and just a bit naughty. From shifters to psychics to ghosts, vampires, witches, and demons, you’re sure to find a supernatural being in your favorite flavor. Get lost in exciting worlds full of magic, mischief, and lots of laughs.

 

About:

I’m a USA Today bestselling author who loves anything and everything paranormal. My sense of humor has been called dark and slightly twisted, and I love it when readers laugh out loud at my stories. I’m a wife and a mother to two teens and two dogs, a former high school teacher, a Mardi Gras dancer, and one helluva cook. I love coffee, chocolate, and wine, and yes, I do believe in ghosts.

 

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

Readers who love:

  • Nice guys who will move heaven and earth for the women they love
  • Sassy heroines who aren’t afraid to go after what they want
  • Side-splitting laughter
  • Puns and a little crude humor in the right places
  • Steamy bedroom scenes
  • Magic
  • Ghosts

 

What to expect if we're compatible:

  • Twenty plus books you can binge while I’m writing more
  • A Facebook group full of fans who share my twisted, goofy sense of humor
  • Guaranteed happily-ever-afters in every book (no cliffhangers!)
  • You’ll feel like you’ve been to New Orleans after reading one of my MANY books set there

LOVE AND CURSES by Carrie Pulkinen

Crescent City Ghost Tours #3

Love and Curses

 

Ghosts she can handle. Curses…not so much.

Trish Bennet's bestie is a medium. In fact, most of her friends have psychic abilities, so she isn't the slightest bit afraid of ghosts. When she gets the chance to run a bed and breakfast in a historic New Orleans mansion, she expects to meet a spirit or two.

What she doesn't expect is to be hit with a nasty curse or for the remedy to be marrying the flirtatious younger man who's been asking her out for years. He'll only break her heart if she says yes, but now she doesn't have a choice.

Eric Landry has had it bad for Trish from the moment they met. At twenty-four, he's six years younger, and though the sizzle between them is hotter than hellfire, she's made it clear his age is a problem.

He'll do anything to prove his feelings for her are real, including pretending to be the best husband she could ever have.

Trish may think it's just a game, but when her life is on the line and he's the only one who can save her, how can she say no?

If you like haunting mystery and men who would move heaven and earth for the women they love, you'll adore this steamy, friends-to-lovers, fake marriage romance.

About Carrie Pulkinen

Carrie Pulkinen

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Pulkinen (pronounced PULL-kin-in) has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice
