As an author of paranormal
romance, where vampires and werewolves reign supreme, some of my readers have
asked me why I prefer to write about ghosts. In truth...I'm not exactly sure. I
can tell you that the ghostly romances written into the television series Dark
Shadows probably had something to do with it. So did the movie and T.V. series,
Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Perhaps the impossible love between a ghost and a mortal
tugged at my youthful heartstrings...

The thing is, it's not that
difficult for a mortal to find happiness with a vampire or werewolf...they're
tangible. If a beefy, handsome, werewolf took you into his arms and kissed you senseless, you'd feel it
without any difficulty whatsoever. But not so with a ghost—and yet, in the
above mentioned series' and movie, I found myself rooting for the ill-fated
lovers anyway. I don't know...call me a romantic. If two people love each other
there just has to be a way for them
to get together. Right?
No, really...right?
