Quickies<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tea or wine? Wine. Definitely wine J<\/li>\n<li>Read or run? Read and then walk.<\/li>\n<li>Cats or dogs? Cats, but we\u2019ve actually got a budgie, Freddy, who\u2019s gorgeous<\/li>\n<li>Heels or flats? Depends on the mood. Feeling frisky \u2013 definitely heels. Need to work hard \u2013 flats.<\/li>\n<li>Boxers or briefs? Neither \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>B. Five likes and five dislikes<\/p>\n<p>Five likes \u2013 my husband (he\u2019s so supportive and proud of me), my books (love everything I\u2019ve written), my friends (I have the most awesome friends \u2013 been too busy to see much of them lately, but I adore them), talking writing with like-minded folks, laughing til your belly and jaw ache<\/p>\n<p>Five dislikes \u2013 Being bored, housework, people talking to me at the gym (I\u2019m there to workout, not make friends), day job (normally I do like it but at the moment it\u2019s too much), that chocolate and chips make you fat (so not fair!)<\/p>\n<p>C. What triggered this specific story? I wanted to have a go at writing erotica and I\u2019ve always liked the idea of the ghostly lover. Originally, Luisa (the heroine of the first story in the book) was a teacher (as was I, once) and it started with her needing to escape the drudgery of the working week. She bought a new house, and it came with a very attractive resident ghost \u2013 just what a girl needs to wind down on a Friday night. It all went from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre<\/strong>: paranormal erotica<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Four stories of eroticism, strength, experimentation, and ultimate salvation.<\/p>\n<p>Cursed after death to live in grey nothingness until they atone for their sins, four spirits have spent centuries doing good for others.
