I'm excited to host the wonderful Chrys Fey. I can't wait to read her newest stories! Love those covers. Take it away, Chrys!
Thank you for letting me borrow you blog for the day, Christine!
Have you ever wondered how to tell whether or a ghost or
not? No? I’m the only one? Oh well! I guess as a writer who wrote a short story
about a ghost, I can get away with this kind of thinking. So here are 7 signs
you’re a ghost:
1. No one can see or hear you.
2. You can’t smell anything. Not even a pile of dog poop
at your feet.
3. Your hands pass through objects like mist.
4. You can’t cry. Try as you might.
5. When you try to take a breath, your chest doesn’t
rise.
6. You feel nothing, No pain. No sensations. Nothing.
7. You’re standing over
your dead body.

Blurb:
Jolie Montgomery, a twenty-one-year-old woman, wakes up
in an alley next to her corpse. She has no memories of her murder or the night
she died. She didn’t even see the killer’s face before he or she took her life.
Wanting justice, Jolie seeks answers in the only way a ghost can...by stalking
the lead detective on the case.
Avrianna Heavenborn is determined to find the person
responsible for a young woman’s death. She gets closer to the killer’s identity
with every clue she uncovers, and Jolie is with her every step of the way.
But if they don’t solve her murder soon, Jolie will be an
earth-bound spirit forever.

Excerpt:
With the sound
of her mom’s grief
wafting up to her, Jolie came to terms with her present state. I’m dead and now my mom knows
it. She eyed
the door in front of her. She hadn’t yet walked through a door, but if her hand
could pass through metal then she knew she could move
through wood.
If I have to be a ghost then I’ll be a
damn good one. All across the afterlife I’ll be known as the Ghost of Death!
And I’m going to start by walking through this damn door!
She would’ve taken a
deep breath to brace herself if she could have, so she mentally pumped herself
up instead. You can do it! Easy-peasy.
Nothing to it. And she took a step forward. Solid matter slipped around and
through her form. On the other side, a familiar site confronted her: a black
and white bed, the bright green shag carpet in the middle of the room, and a
white desk.
Stepping up to
her desk, Jolie eyed
her ancient desktop computer, the one she used before her dad gifted her with a
laptop when she announced she was accepted to the local university. Wanting to
send out the first ever tweet from the afterlife, she pushed the button to
bring the device to life, but her finger poker straight through it. Resigning
to her Twitter-less fate, she moved toward the full-length mirror hanging on
the wall. She saw nothing. Not even a shimmer in the air hinted at her
presence.
Being
a ghost sucks!

Blurb:
Detective Reid Sanders doesn’t believe in the
supernatural, but when he’s faced with a crime scene that defies the laws of
nature, he has no other choice but to start believing. And solving a magical
murder involves working with a witch.
Liberty Sawyer embodies the look of your classic evil
witch, so, it’s no surprise when she uncovers the murderer is a witch that she
becomes Reid’s number one suspect. If she can’t convince him otherwise, more
people could lose their lives to dark magic, including her.

Great tips! I love ghosts...so fascinating. If I could find my Kindle, I could get back to reading again...it's packed somewhere and I'll be darned if I can figure out where. Idiot me--I didn't put it in the "essentials" box. What was I thinking?!
ReplyDeleteStanding over your own dead body would definitely be a clue!
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much for having me on your awesome blog today, Christine! You rock!!
ReplyDelete@Stephanie, oh no! I just moved and I made sure to know where all of my important desk and writing stuff were so I could unpack them ASAP. I hope you find your Kindle soon. :)
@Alex, I think so too. ;)
Ha! I see an error in my first sentence. That first "or" is supposed to be "you're". I don't know how that slipped past me. Silly me! :P
ReplyDeletePhew! I'm relieved to find out I'm not a ghost, even though I've had problems with #1. Congrats, Chrys!
ReplyDelete@Cherie, I can relate to that one too. Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteGhost stories are fun! By your definitions I am definitely not a ghost.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say number 7 is a dead giveaway. ;);)
ReplyDelete@HR, that's good. I'd hate it if you were.
ReplyDelete@Patricia, dead giveaway...ha! ;)
Definitely not a ghost. :-D These sound like terrific stories, and I loved the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, E.J.! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's never occurred to me that I might be a ghost - I wonder how long it is before the average ghost starts to wonder about that.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting question, Patsy. I think that could be why so many stay, don't move on, and haunt places...because they don't know.
