    Ghost of a Chance by Author @_Ani_Gonzalez #RLFBlog #PNR

    About the Author

    I write sexy paranormal small town romance (whew,
    that’s a mouthful!) set in Banshee Creek, Virginia, The Most Haunted Town in
    the USA. My books feature feisty, irrepressible heroines and strong,
    controlling alpha males along with a host of paranormal critters (ghosts,
    cryptids, pagan gods…the sky’s the limit).
    I love quirky towns with spooky stories, and,
    thanks to my books, I get to “live” in one year-around. In real life
    I live in a Minneapolis suburb (which is sadly lacking in ghosts) with my
    family.

    Interview with Ani Gonzalez

    Why
    did you write this book?
    I saw a haunted house listing in HGTV’s House
    Hunters (I love that show!). The poor owners were having a really hard time
    selling it. That gave me the idea for my protagonist, Elizabeth Hunt, a real
    estate agent living in Banshee Creek, The Most Haunted Town in America. Poor
    Elizabeth doesn’t just have one haunted house to sell. She has dozens.
    The town is, as you might expect, extremely
    eccentric with a haunted pizzeria, a crazy group of paranormal investigators,
    and plenty of quirky characters. Those elements made writing this book a lot of
    fun. I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
    What
    is your favorite genre to read?
    My favorite genres are Paranormal Romance, Small
    Town Romance and Romantic Comedy. I have elements of all three in my books.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not
    including your own)? Nyx, the Valkyrie from Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark
    series. She is hilarious. I also love Betsy Taylor from MaryJanice Davidson’s
    Undead series.
    What
    are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m writing book 4 in the Banshee Creek series,
    My Ghostly Valentine, it will come out in February. Valentine’s Day comes to
    Banshee Creek, will the haunted town residents be able to deal with pink hearts
    and pretty flowers? You’ll find out in 2016.
    Please
    tell us about your latest book.
    B-movie actress turned real estate agent Elizabeth Hunt
    should have it made. The real estate market is thriving and she had a fabulous
    house to sell. Too bad the house is in Banshee Creek, a tiny Virginia hamlet
    that has been recently crowned as the “Most Haunted Town in America.”
    But, with the help of the Banshee Creek Historical Preservation Committee,
    Elizabeth hopes to put the ghost stories to rest. Her hometown will again be
    known for its vintage homes, its heirloom apple orchards, and its historical,
    not phantasmagorical, attributes, and she won’t let anyone, even her long-time
    crush, Gabe Franco, stand in her way.

    Gabe has a big problem. His new marketing campaign for
    Banshee Creek Cidery is based on one thing, ghosts, but the Historical
    Preservation Committee nutcases are trying to erase the town’s spookier
    traditions. He has to stop them before they render his investment worthless. Unfortunately,
    the leader of the anti-ghost crusade is all-too-tempting Elizabeth, his best friend’s
    sister and the one woman who is strictly off limits. But when Elizabeth rallies
    the townsfolk against him, Gabe wonders if he’ll lose his business…or his
    heart.

    Ani Gonzalez, author of Must Love Ghosts @_ani_gonzalez #RLFBlog #PNR

    This quick interview includes info
    about the author, and introduces the story.
    About the Author
    My name is Ani Gonzalez and I write
    sexy paranormal small town romance (whew, that’s a mouthful!) set in
    Banshee Creek, Virginia, The Most Haunted Town in the USA. Must Love Ghosts is my debut novel.
    My books feature feisty, irrepressible
    heroines conquering strong, controlling alpha males (with a bit of supernatural
    help). I like folks songs, ghosts stories and sangría. 
    Interview with Ani Gonzalez
    Why did you write this book? 
    I’ve always been drawn to myths and
    legends and how they can be a source of strength to people and communities.
    When I started writing my small town romance the stories just seeped through
    naturally. Lost souls are drawn to Banshee Creek and they find love and healing
    (with a little bit of supernatural help).
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    All kinds of romance, but I’m
    particularly fond of paranormal romance and small town romance. That’s why I
    decided to write both. My books feature small town tropes (returning soldier in
    Must Love Ghosts, best friend’s
    little sister in the next book, Ghost of
    a Chance
    , and so on) in a paranormal setting.
    Who is your favorite character from
    fiction (not including your own)?
    Dimitri from Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter
    series and Roarke from Nora Roberts’ In Death series. I love alpha males. Who
    doesn’t?
    What are you working on at the moment,
    and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m finishing edits to the Banshee
    Creek holiday novella, Snowbound with
    Ghost
    and revising the fourth book in the series (Valentine’s Day at
    Banshee Creek!), Ghost of a Kiss.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Abby Reed believes in
    folk songs, faery tales, and ghosts, but she doesn’t believe in love. Her
    fiancé died while deployed in Afghanistan, but she still has her music,
    her crazy ghost-filled town, and her pen-pal-slash-best-friend, Mike Stone. But
    when Mike arrives in Banshee Creek after his last tour of duty, Abby
    starts to have doubts, about music, ghosts and, most importantly…love.
    A steadfast soldier,
    Mike Stone follows the rules, and Rule #1 is: Don’t Fall For Your Dead Buddy’s
    Fiancée. His relationship with Abby has been strictly platonic, and
    will remain that way, if he has anything to say about it. But when he arrives
    in Banshee Creek, a town where the impossible is an everyday occurrence,
    he’ll find out that sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

    Monica La Porta author of The Lonely Wolf @momilp #RLFblog #paranormal

    Monica La Porta author of The Lonely Wolf answers five easy questions
    to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Monica La Porta is an Italian who landed in Seattle several
    years ago. Despite popular feelings about the Northwest weather, she finds the
    mist and the rain the perfect conditions to write. Being a strong advocate of
    universal acceptance and against violence in any form and shape, she is also
    glad to have landed precisely in Washington State. She is the author of The
    Ginecean Chronicles, a dystopian/science fiction series set on the planet
    Ginecea where women rule over a race of enslaved men and heterosexual love is
    considered a sin. She also published two other series: the futuristic love
    story across the universe, Elios & Gaia, narrated in two books; and the
    paranormal romance/urban fantasy series The Immortals set in Rome. Stop by her
    blog to read about her miniatures, sculptures, paintings, and her beloved beagle,
    Nero. Sometimes, she also posts about her writing.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    Like every Italian, I love to cook, but I must have been
    Japanese in another life, because my favorite family style meal is a big pot of
    ramen soup, filled with fresh ingredients.
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    Either sushi or dim sum.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    Cancun, my husband, and a kindle.
    What are your hobbies?
    When I am not reading or walking, I paint, make sculptures
    with pasta ceramica (a homemade dough made with corn flour and white glue,) build
    dollhouses, and I create felt food to decorate my Christmas tree.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    Love stories, in any genre. Paranormal with a sprinkle of
    dystopian and steampunk is my favorite, but I love space opera as well.

    Tricia Schneider author of The Witch’s Kiss @TriciaSchneider #RLFblog #paranormalromance

    Tricia Schneider author of The Witch’s Kiss answers five easy
    questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Tricia Schneider is an author of paranormal and gothic
    romance. Before the supernatural took possession of her pen, she worked for several
    years in a Waldenbooks store as Assistant Manager and bookseller. Since the
    closing of the bookstore, she now writes full-time while raising her 4 young
    children. She lives with her musician husband and 2 neurotic cats in the coal
    country of Pennsylvania
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    I’m the fortunate wife of a man who loves to cook. Since I
    tend to burn everything I try to create in the kitchen, this situation works
    well for us. Marc makes many amazing dishes, but my favorite is grilled salmon
    with a baked sweet potato. He also makes delicious meatloaf and lasagna,
    too. 
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    About 10 years ago, my husband and I visited some friends in
    Germany. We fell in love with area so much that we considered moving there.
    Since we didn’t get to see everything that was on our list during that trip, my
    perfect vacation would be going back there. Hiking trails in the Black Forest
    to visit the castles that are nestled in the hills, spending a relaxing day
    visiting the Marktplatz while eating an ice cream cone, sipping Hefeweissbier and
    people watching at a village café, and walking the cobblestone streets with my
    husband’s hand in mine are a few of the things I’d like to do.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    My bicycle. It was something I had wanted for years. When I
    was about 9, my grandmother bought one for me. I practiced riding up and down
    the driveway every day, falling and scraping my arms and knees (my parents saw
    no need for protective pads or helmets back in the ‘80s). Every time I fell,
    I’d get right back up and try again. I was so happy when I finally learned how
    to ride. I spent countless hours riding my bike every summer for years.
    What are your hobbies?
    I like crafts. Cross-stitch and crotchet are my favorite,
    usually in the winter while watching hockey games on TV with Marc. I’m also an
    amateur genealogist. Researching my family tree has been a hobby of mine since
    I was a teenager and first learned from my grandmother that I had American
    Indian ancestry. On my search for my native ancestors, I also wanted to
    discover where my red hair came from when both of my parents were born with
    dark brown.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I read anything. Really. If it has words, I’ll read it.
    While romance has always been my favorite genre since I was a teen, I also
    enjoy reading urban fantasy and classical literature. My favorite authors are
    Kelley Armstrong, Gayle Wilson, Julia Quinn, Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen and
    Charlotte Bronte.
