Ghost of a Chance by Author @_Ani_Gonzalez #RLFBlog #PNR
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.About the Book

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

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.About the BookTitle Must Love GhostsGenre Small Town Paranormal RomanceAuthor Ani GonzalezBook heat level (based on movie

Monica La Porta is an Italian who landed in Seattle several

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

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

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 PennsylvaniaWhat’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.About the Book
