How CHARM ME AGAIN began:

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

A peek between the pages of CHARM ME AGAIN:

She swallowed hard and blinked.

Out of the mist, in full Scottish regalia, a ghost stood, his transparent red and green belted plaid blowing in the breeze.

She shook her head, closed her eyes, scrubbed her hands over her eyes, and blinked them open. “What the hell?” burst from her lips before she could control herself. “It’s some kind of bad dream. Right?” She rubbed her eyes again opening only one this time. “Shit, you’re all still here.” She dropped her arms to her sides and glared at Daylan then Summer. “Someone better tell me what’s going on—right now.” Her hands fisted and unfisted at her sides.

Daylan returned her scathing look. “Later.”

“We meet again Shay.” The ghost said. “What kind of attire are ye wearing?”

“Never mind. Ye are the cause of the problem, Daylan.” The leader glared at the ghost.

“Oh, no—not this time,” the ghost said.

Daylan stood straight. “No way. I’m not taking the blame for this.”

Shay grinned. “Oh, now things are falling in place.” He pointed a finger at Daylan. “You are his namesake and that is why Khellan has returned.” He flicked a finger at the ghost. “And you have attached to your namesake hoping he or his twin can break the curse. What a tangle.” Shifting his gaze to her, he continued. “This young lass is caught in the middle with naught power to protect herself.”

“For god sakes. She’s mortal. How can she be caught in the middle?” Daylan shouted. “She shouldn’t even be able to see what’s happening.”

“Yet she does. Something to think about.” Shay shrugged one shoulder. “She is besotted with you, as you are with her. The lass’s blood may be diluted, but it’s there. The cycle begins again.”

Feb 14th Interview Julie Howard Author of Spirited Quest

Give a warm welcome to Julie Howard, Author of Spirited Quest a Deerbourne Inn Series tale. Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Julie and her Spirited Quest!

What inspired this particular story?

I’d love to say this character haunted me until I wrote her story… and this is sort of what happened. A lot of writers can relate to how a character grabs hold of them (metaphorically, of course) and demands to be written into existence. That’s how it happened with the ghost in Spirited Quest. I just knew I had to create her and breathe life into her. Once I started writing, her story spilled out so easily that I felt I was writing a true story.

Why did you choose the cover concept you did?

There are three main women in my story – Paige; her niece, Jillian; and the Lady of the Deerbourne. Each of these women have different motivations and goals through the story and this was a lot to tackle in a short book. The cover, though, gets to the heart of Spirited Quest. Jillian is a ghost-hunter and she seeks the Lady of the Deerbourne. Everything that happens in this mystery comes back to the relationship these two women establish across time. They needed to be on the cover.

What inspired you to write?

Ah, there’s nothing like a good book. I’ve always been a reader and early on, I knew I wanted to create stories too. To me, writing books was the most wonderful thing anyone could do. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude that I can spend my time writing books. This is my dream job.

What do you like to do when you are not writing?

I love to travel and explore. I’m fascinated by other cultures, religions, languages, foods, etc. I have a long list of places I’d like to visit and I’m always adding more!

Tell us three things we’d find if we looked under your heroine’s bed?

Three things? She’s too much of a neatnik. But she doesn’t know an earring rolled under there two weeks ago…

How about the hero’s bed?

Dust bunnies, an old credit card statement, and a couple pair of shoes.

A little about Spirited Quest:

Paige Norman believes in a tangible, explainable world. When her ghost-hunting niece comes for a visit, she tries not to scoff. But someone, or something, is stirring up trouble at the Deerbourne Inn and her niece, Jillian, is at the center of the mystery.

Paige is certain the handsome Aussie photographer is behind the unexplained disturbances, and she warns her niece to stay clear. Meanwhile, Jillian gets to know the otherworldly Lady of the Deerbourne, who foretells an encounter with “two men.” Then the pranks turn dangerous. Has her niece attracted a stalker or has she conjured an evil presence? Can the culprit be the man who has captured her heart?

A sneak peek between the pages of Spirited Quest!

He nodded a friendly greeting to her, his gaze grazing past to include others on the porch. “G’day, ma’am. G’day all.”

An Australian. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh, to be twenty-five, even thirty-five, again. His gaze settled on her niece, and as always happened to men where this girl was concerned, his jaw slackened, then tightened.

Next to her, Jillian grew still, lifting wide blue eyes to the newcomer. The moment passed. He was through the front door and into the lobby, and the door closed behind him.

“You’re in for some nice company this week,” Paige commented with a smile.

A frown flickered across her niece’s face. “I’ve seen him before.”

“You’ve met?”

“Not exactly. He appeared to me in a dream.” Jillian’s blue eyes were troubled as she gazed at the Inn’s front door. She lifted one hand and rubbed the back of her head, then gave a shiver. “There was blood and I was afraid.”

Then, without explanation, he abandoned her on graduation day.

Narrator Bio

Kristin “KJ” James was born and raised in the Nashville, TN area. Acting has always been a passion of hers. Starting on the stage as early as preschool, KJ pursued her passion into college where she received a BA in Communication with a double emphasis in Theatre and Public Relations from Mississippi State University. After college she found herself more and more drawn to voice overs. Several classes, coaching sessions, seminars, research, and a closet-turned-studio later, and she now records and produces audiobooks on a regular basis. She has also done several radio commercials for clients such as Advance Financial, TriStar Health, and GAC. Her ultimate dream is to work in video games and animation, so

hopefully in the not-too-distant future you’ll hear her in an RPG or cartoon. When she’s not in her booth, you can find her crocheting, playing video games, or running agility with her dog, Phoenix.

When Claire Linden’s job sends her to the sleepy town of Gull Harbor, she never expects to encounter her ex-boyfriend. As a medium, the prospect of tackling a haunted house is less daunting than seeing Max Baron again. However, the ghost of a young woman desperate for someone to tell her story embroils Claire into a dangerous situation she may not survive. She enlisted Max’s help, but will he be too late? You’ll have to pick up a copy of riveting audiobook to find out.

The narration brings this exciting story and it’s characters to life. I truly enjoyed the setting on Cape Cod. The twist and turns kept me on the edge of my seat until the satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed listening to the Gull Harbor audiobook and highly recommend it.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Kathryn Knight. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
