Looking Back at My Favorite Vengeful Ghost

I have a soft spot for a doomed romance and what could be more doomed than a ghost that returns to haunt the reincarnation of the wife that killed him?

That is the idea behind my Spiritus Series and today I'm sharing a peek at the letters Alastor, the Civil War era ghost of the story, and his wife Becca exchanged during his service in the Union army.

May 7, 1863

My Dearest Becca,

I am writing to let you know that I am alive. 

We are in Virginia near a town called Chancellorsville and have fought with the rebels for so many days that I have lost count.  We suffered heavy losses, many falling in battle.  I can only hope that the rebels will give them a decent burial.

Today I helped bury my friends, people I had known all my life and some I had known only months, I prayed that God would forgive me for the crude funeral service that they were given.

Oh my darling, everywhere that I look is just misery and dying.  If it were not for your letters in my pocket, I would no longer believe that there is a normal life waiting for me.  I think of the men that I laid to rest and wonder if they have wives waiting for them.  How can I go on living when life has been stolen from them?

My head aches and I know that I should try to sleep, but sleep never comes.  I want to come home.  I want to no longer worry about what tomorrow brings.  Ah, those carefree days seem like so long ago.

I love you my beautiful Becca, and will carry your memory with me.

Your Husband,

Alastor

 
For a limited time, the first three books, told from Becca's point of view, are available at Amazon for 0.99. 

Spiritus: When Becca moves into her ancestral home in Corydon, Indiana, her life takes a puzzling and thrilling turn when she meets the ghost haunting the halls. As the seductive spirit lures her closer and closer, she learns about her own past and starts to understand that some mistakes are meant to last. Becca McAllister has always been different from other girls her age. Never part of the "in crowd", Becca never really fit in anywhere. When her mother dies and her father moves them to the small town of Corydon, Indiana, Becca didn't expect things to change. But things do change when Becca accidentally makes contact with a one hundred and sixty year old ghost, Alastor Sinclair, that haunts the halls of her new home. To Becca, Alastor is a seductive spirit that seems to see straight into her soul. To Alastor, Becca is what he has waited a century for--A second chance. But the closer they get, the more Becca realizes that this isn't the first time she and Alastor have known each other. Worse still, is she the one responsible for his death so long ago? And if so, did he come back for love or revenge?

Haunted: Becca has accepted the horrors of her past life, and emerged with her ghostly love Alastor at her side. But her happiness is short lived when she realizes that balancing her past and present won't be easy... Becca has already decided that it's Alastor that she loves, but now, as their uncommon relationship limits Becca's future, Alastor must decide if he's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for Becca's happiness....And will Becca's sanity survive?

Incarnate: Becca has always known that it was always going to come down to this. The only way that she can truly be happy is if she and Alastor are together. If she doesn't find a way, can she live without him? But is she willing to make the ultimate sacrifice...even if it is the only way that they can be together? Everything for two lifetimes has been leading up to this moment. A future with Alastor is within her grasp--if she's willing to fight for it.
