Hi there, ghost lovers!
Thank you so much for joining me!
South Africa is apparently in for a cold weekend, which is just fine by me. I intended to stay indoors to finalize my new vampire tale that is coming on August 30, 2024. I'll tell you about it very soon.
Now, without further ado, here is what I have for you this week.
The second-to-last of my series to be fiddled with...
is my Dangerous Desires duo.
I'm still working on the cover for the box set, Trapped In Yesterday.
What do you think of these?
As a young widow, Rachel is content with her life and has no intention of finding a new love. After all, her dead husband, Lawrence, hangs around the house as if he never left. But when her best friend gives her a rather unusual birthday gift, all hell breaks loose.
Because the gift is a night with a smoking-hot, professional seducer of women! The mutual attraction between Trip and Rachel is instant.
Lawrence is NOT amused and shows his displeasure to the point where his widow's life is in danger. But Trip, the male escort, has no intention of abandoning Rachel to the ill-mannered ghost.
It soon becomes clear that, unless Lawrence finds peace in his own death, Rachel would be forever trapped in yesterday.
Find out more about the duo, Dangerous Desires, here:
Both books are 99c each for a few days and they are FREE with Kindle Unlimited.

There are so many wonderful authors out there! And I love to promote them.
Here is my choice for this week. I hope you like what you see.

In Medieval Japan there is as little as a razor-thin space between the sword of a samurai and the throat of a 'barbarian' (foreigner). Yet a Westerner is instrumental in the political machinations that bring down the Shogun Regime.
Swayed by the stronghanded military regime of the Shogun, Japan left feudalism much later than most European powers. A nation dominated by a rigid samurai code of honor and power-hungry warlords, Japan's transition to modernization, would not be achieved without bloodshed imbued with stoicism, resilience, bravery, deception, treason, and lots of romance.
The most rapturous insight of this historical period, dubbed Bakumatsu, that dragged from 1853 to 1868, is the presence of a Westerner who was instrumental in the political machinations that brought down the shogunate rule and reinstated the emperor to the supreme office, ushering the country into a sort of capitalism.
Thomas Blake Glover, a Scotsman from Aberdeen, had neither advanced academic qualification, nor professional training. Placed in an unseemly place, yet during a crucial period, he was armed with vision, a sharp nose for business and a staunch determination.
Working with the inequalities rather than fighting them, Glover understood cultural differences could survive on reciprocal respect and concessions; forbearance applied when values conflicted.
Living through the twists and turns of Japan's mythic culture, pulling the strings of his hard-harnessed power, Glover forever changed the course of the country of the Rising Sun’s history...

A witch. A vampire. An immortal mistake.
As a witch, I have a healthy dislike for the undead. While they can turn a human, their venom kills those of us with power. At least that was true until I was attacked by a rogue and transitioned into a vampire.

When we discover there is a conspiracy at play, will I accept my new life or unleash an unholy monster that could destroy humanity?
