Hi there, ghost lovers!
Thank you so much for joining me!
(I'm doing this slowly this week so that I don't make any grievous mistakes again. LOL)
It is winter, it is cold and dull, and we haven't had rain for months. But the days are gradually getting longer.
Looking forward to spring rains to settle the dust!
Now, without further ado, here is what I have for you this week..
The last book to be fiddled with...
(for now!)
is my Finders Keepers standalone.
I am planning a sequel for this book, Medicine Woman, when Finders Keepers will become the series starter of the Frontier Tales, but that is a tale for another day.
Finders Keepers: An Almost Gothic Love Affair
In a time when women were disposable, a young woman is sent off into the wilderness to be married to a stranger.
The year is 1749, October 31, All Hallows Eve.
What she finds on her arrival is enough to make her skin crawl. Limping footsteps, blood-curdling screams, smoking torches, and a house on a cliff... A man she only sees in the dark, his breathing labored behind a mask.
All she wants is to be respectfully married, to be mistress of her own home, and children - not to have her baby stolen as good as from her body!
In the words of the man behind the mask:
“A betrothal is as good as the wedding vows. You cannot leave.”
“Am I your prisoner?”
"Yes! You shall stay here until you bear me a child. Then you can stay or go; the choice shall be mine!"
The one person who can protect her, her self-appointed guardian, Alexander Verhagen, is an unapproachable, grumpy man who doesn't have any regard for her.
Her only ally seems to be the housekeeper, and she is tied by loyalty to the master of the house.
Finders Keepers will be on sale for only 99c - normal price $3.99 - until Sunday. Get it while you can!

A woman scorned by a thief. A pirate captain on the hunt to change his stars.
