Kourtney Heintz writes emotionally evocative speculative fiction that captures the deepest truths of being human. For her characters, love is a journey never a destination. She resides in Connecticut with her warrior lapdog, Emerson, her supportive parents and three quirky golden retrievers. Years of working on Wall Street provided the perfect backdrop for her imagination to run amuck at night, imagining a world where out-of- control telepathy and buried secrets collide.

Jean, thanks! :)

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:59pm October 24, 2017):

Bonnie, great reasons! :) I like seeing what happens next after I've emotionally
invested in the characters.

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:13am October 24, 2017):

Anna, I love going deeper into the characters. The wait is tough. I try to give my
fans a one page synopsis of the previous book before the new one releases, just
to refresh their memories.

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:12am October 24, 2017):

Linda, I love sequels. But you're right I really don't like when it feels like a reboot of
Book 1. Thanks for stopping by!

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:40pm October 22, 2017):

Glenda, you're right--characters are what keep readers coming back!

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:40pm October 22, 2017):

Jenny, that's an important point about series. Each book has to be able to stand on
its own as a completed story. When I'm writing, I always feel like my characters
have so much more to reveal in the next book!

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:38pm October 22, 2017):

Debby, that's a fabulous reason! I agree--it's so nice to come back to a character.

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:37pm October 22, 2017):

Sarah, those are my favorite things too! Nice to meet you! :)

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (6:35pm October 21, 2017):

G., I am a huge fan of sequels. I have only written series so far. I am not sure I
could let my characters go after one book. Possibly a future challenge?

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (6:34pm October 21, 2017):

Susan, I agree. Each book has to answer the main question raised in that book, but
also raise new questions that are answered in the next book.

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:52pm October 19, 2017):

Thanks, Lyndsey. Especially in a romance, I think it's hard to keep that kind of
tension and excitement going when a couple is together.

Re: The Girl Who Saved Ghosts (11:50pm October 19, 2017):

Tanya, thanks--I feel the same way. I don't like reboots. Of course there are
certain conventions to each genre but I want to be surprised and not know what's
coming next too! Thank you so much!
