Anyone that has read and followed my Spiritus series knows that the books are based on a Civil War era ghost (Alastor), haunting the reincarnation of the wife that killed him (Becca). It takes place in Corydon and the house plays a huge role in the first book.
Since I am such a huge fan of Halloween, I also dream up all sorts of crazy decorating ideas for it. First off, a fake iron fence along the sidewalk, on an old house like that it would just be too perfect! Next I would half bury some skeletons in the yard just because it wouldn't be Halloween without a few open graves....But, I would have one headstone that would have Alastor's name on it. Then to add some gore, I would hang a female dummy dressed in a long dress from a noose (since Becca's character died by hanging in her previous life) from the balcony.
On Halloween night itself, I would probably hire some people to dress up as both Union and Confederate soldiers (properly dead and rotting) to jump out and scare some of the older trick or treaters...Maybe even throw in a horse or two.
Do you have a place or house where you dream of living one day? Do you decorate it in your mind for the different seasons?
A love that refuses to die...
"As I watched him vanish into a soft mist that faded away, I knew that he was no ordinary spirit...I knew that he was a dangerous entity that could be in some corner of another realm planning his revenge, but I also knew that I was hopelessly in love with him."
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?
Every story has two sides...
Alastor truly believed that his life was over the night his wife Becca shot and killed him over a century ago, but now he has returned as a spirit to haunt the reincarnation of his traitorous, murdering wife. Why now? Why Becca after all this time?

How far will each of them go to rectify the wrongs of the past?
