Heroes Live Forever Blitz and Giveaway (ebook and $50 Amazon Giftcard)!
Elinor Hawthorne has inherited a house haunted by the ghosts of two medieval knights, Basil Manneville and Guy Guiscard. Basil is the man of her dreams, her knight in shining armor. She falls in love with him and he with her. Basil soon realizes she needs to live a normal life, a happy life with a mortal.
A lifetime later fate intervenes. Basil, still in love with Elinor, is told her spirit lives on in a young woman and he is given another chance at life to find her.
Excerpt:
At the top of the stairs, goose bumps suddenly dotted Elinor’s skin and the hair on her arms stood on end. She glanced back, but didn’t see anything strange, or more to the point, Lucy’s ghost knight.
Author Bio/Links:
I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.
My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.
I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream.
I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, four rescue dogs and a rescue horse.

Hi Shannon,
There's more about Heroes and the sequel, Journey in Time on my website along with trailers.

I imagine the investigative nature of being a Police Detective would carry over into your writing research.

The book sounds great and yes i do believe in answer to your question. Some can be bad and some good. I grew up in a 100 year old farm house and we had a lot of sounds that didn't really happen go one like doors opening and phones ringing. I ended up marrying three great great grandson of the family that built the house so my dad just jokes around about my husbands family "hanging" around. Laceysvette at hotmail dot com

About Me

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.

thank you for inviting me today. I look forward to talking to everyone.
Just a note: I will be away from my office for a brief time--9:30 am PST to approx. 12:30 this afternoon.
Since Heroes Live Forever has two handsome ghosts, let me ask everyone, who believes in ghosts?
Chris
