So I was there two years ago when it all started! I simply cannot believe it has been that long – I had written several short stories for other publishers but my paranormal novella, Mia’s books was just a little to quirky for them… enter Beachwalk – who began to follow me on Twitter. As soon as I checked out their website, I thought, ‘that’s the one’, and lo and behold, they accepted my book. I am thrilled to see Beachwalk grow and thrive and look forward to working with them for many more years.
I am offering an ebook copy of Mia’s Books and a £5 (or $ equivalent) Amazon gift card as an extra prize for those who comment below.
So, here we go, a little bit about Mia’s Books – I was so excited to receive reviewer’s choice at Twolips Reviews for this steamy little paranormal novella.
Ghost lover or mortal? Can Mia choose both?
The book had changed. It was now jet black and lay
seductively by the bed. Gently lifting her covers off, Mia slowly, slowly made
her way over to it as if she was trying to capture a bird.

Her fingers were trembling. Cold air chilled her hands as
she reached out and picked it up. Open Me. Thick raised
letters gave her instruction. And she did.

Rows upon rows of names and numbers merged into each other.
It was a phone directory. Mia was disappointed, but curiosity kept her flicking
the pages, watching number after number fly by. She was about to close it and
just go back to bed when she realized the numbers were all the same and the
name wasn’t a name at all—it was another instruction.

Call Me.
Mia flushed with excitement. Was this her ghost lover
contacting her for real? She reached for the phone and dialed the number before
she could change her mind.

Silence.
Mia flopped back onto the bed and let the phone fall by her
ear. She began to ponder the fear that she might actually be going mad when a
voice startled her.

“Yes?” she whispered back.
“I need to s…” The voice faded, and Mia started to panic.
“What? You need to what? Please…don’t go.”
“…see you…” The sound was so faint that Mia had to
strain to catch it. “Meet me at the park at dusk.” The line went dead.

Mia was exhilarated. It hadn’t been a dream. She was going
to meet her ghost lover once more! She hadn’t been on a date for ages. Not
since the insomnia had made her feel like a ninety-five year-old grumpy hag.
She suddenly felt young again—young and ready for anything.

Mia waited nervously at the cast iron gates of the park.
They were gothic and ornate and framed the entrance in grandeur. Biting at her
thumbnail and shivering with excitement, she watched people bustle past on their
way home from work. She felt very naughty, and it only heightened her arousal.
She had chosen to wear her full-length sheepskin coat, a seventies classic that
she had picked up in a vintage shop. It never failed to make her feel sexy,
especially in her knee high boots. But tonight she had the added joy of being
naked underneath. The sensation of the soft, lush wool pressed closely to her
skin made her yearn for her lover.

She waited.
And waited.
Her eyes flitted about, catching the gaze of passersby. With
no idea who to look for, she glanced hopefully at any handsome man or pretty
lady, then quickly averted her eyes if they looked back. Suddenly, she noticed
a tall, dark man head purposefully toward her. Her heartbeat quickened, and her
throat tightened. He was stunning. He was more than anything she’d hoped for.
And the way he strode directly toward her made her want to swoon in his arms.
She pressed her thighs together and tried to look demure with a fierce flush
rising from deep within her abdomen.

“Are you waiting for me?” The man stared at her intensely.
His eyes were the palest blue with flecks of raven black.

“Yes,” was all Mia could say, and he linked his arm through

His voice was like velvet, and she let herself be wrapped up

“You are gorgeous,” he said, and Mia was drenched in his
