Thank you, first of all, to Coffee Time Romance, for having me here today, and Readers, thank you all so much for stopping in to learn a bit more about me. I hope you’ll leave a few messages or questions so we can chat. I will also be pulling one lucky commenter on Friday, July 22 to win a box of spicy chocolates and caramels from Cowgirl Chocolates in Moscow, Idaho.
For those who aren’t familiar with my work, I write multi-genre romance. I categorize it that way because I write historical, time travel and contemporary romance rather than only in one genre. I have two books available right now and we’ll get to those later on. I’m working on book three and had hoped to release the book in September, but to stay realistic, it may be Nov. 1st that I have to shoot for due to other priorities that have happened. Stay tuned to my website for more information on the release date.
My third book, Whispers at Ghost Point, is a contemporary set in Wilmington, North Carolina and is about an abandoned lighthouse; I’m bringing back, or reincarnating, a few of my characters from my second novel, No Turning Back. (Some may wish to read No Turning Back before reading Whispers, but that isn’t necessary to the story) Whispers is about a woman with a passion to restore lighthouses to their original beauty and the man who isn’t sure he wants to cooperate with this plan. The story also involves a ghost who’s been dormant in the tower of the lighthouse for years waiting to reclaim the woman he lost in his past life. He realizes who she is during one of her visits to the property and he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim her – dead or alive!
I can’t say a lot more than that without giving away too much of the story. Do you enjoy reading ghost stories? Have you had a ghostly experience? Let’s chat! On my blog, I have several posts about ghosts and lighthouses and right now, there is a post of the character interview with two of the characters from Whispers that you might find interesting. I also have a link on my blog to read the first chapter of Whispers if you go there and click on the BookBuzzr link on the left side. (My other two books are there also for your reading pleasure to get a taste of each of those books)
My first book, Never Surrender, is an Indian time travel that will pull you back in time to 1835 Wyoming into the Shoshone Nation. Taima is a blue eyed warrior in search of his soul mate, though he doesn’t realize he pulls her from the future. Their personality clashes torment the relationship as each of them fight against the attraction to one another. This book deals with second chances at love as well as reincarnation. You’ll find those issues a common thread in my books, though that was not the original intention when I began writing.
My second book, No Turning Back, is an historical set in England in 1778. This story pulls you back to the castles, balls, dukes, pirates and sword fighting aboard ships that so many of us love in our historical romances. Again, both characters find a second chance at love but the trials thrust on them might be more than each of them can handle.
I hope I’ve given you a few more books to add to your shelves and if so, I’d love to hear from you. I have several participation sites at FaceBook and Twitter; please join me! My newsletter goes to close to 2,000 readers and the subscription is on my websites. You can find me at these sites below:

Thank you for stopping in to read. Not everyone will leave a comment who reads the post and I'm fine with that. I hope you enjoy visiting my sites and learning about my characters for Whispers at Ghost Point.
Those who do leave a comment will be in the drawing for the spicy chocolates from Cowgirl Chocolates. Did you hop over to their website and check out all the flavors they have? She also has a newsletter you can get to learn about her specials! Thanks for stopping in to read!
Hi Deanna! Stopping by for support.
I'm on page 172 of No Turning Back. I'm glad I'm reading this book first before Whispers at Ghost Points is released. I'll be able to bring back scenes from the past in my mind when I start reading Whispers. Sept or Nov hurry up and get here! LOL
Hi Deanna,
Your books have definitely caught my attention and I am adding them to my to-be read list. I am a multie-genre reader so I think it's wonderful you are a multi-genre writer and you write some of my favourite genres: time-travel and historical romances. I really enjoy stories about lost loves, second chances and reunions. I find them heart-wrenching and deeply emotional and that's why they appeal to me. I have never had any experiences with them but I do believe in them =)
The last sentence what I meant to say that I belive in ghosts even though I have never had any ghostly encounters =)
Hi, Deanna!
Whispers sounds like a good story! I subscribe to your newsletter and your blog! Coffee is very good, today!

I have read No Turning back and I think it is a beautiful story! I can't wait to read more of your work. Your upcoming book sounds amazing since I love ghost stories and being from the Oregon coast I have visited several haunted lighthouses! Thanks for sharing today!
Hi, Deanna,
You must know that I am, without a doubt, your biggest fan. I totally love writing and your books are fabulous; they are exactly the kind of books that I look for when I go shopping for something to read. My only problem with you is that you don't write fast enough! (hahaha!) Just kidding. I just wish you had already written a million books by the time I discovered you, and then my hunger for your books would be satisfied for the time being. Ah well…such is life. I guess I'll just have to read the ones I have, over and over, hmmm?
My dream is to one day have a complete collection of your books that are autographed. Someday I will…someday. Whispers sounds like an amazing story, by the way.

Dearest Deanna,
The computer ate one of my words!
In the comment above, it was supposed to say: I totally love your writing and your books are fabulous. Of course I love to write, but in this case, I was trying to convey that I love your writing. There. Now I finally think I've made myself clear.
Blessings to you, Deanna.
Sincerely,
Cynde
