Ghost of a Chance – Romance Lives Forever

About the Author

I write sexy paranormal small town romance (whew,
that’s a mouthful!) set in Banshee Creek, Virginia, The Most Haunted Town in
the USA. My books feature feisty, irrepressible heroines and strong,
controlling alpha males along with a host of paranormal critters (ghosts,
cryptids, pagan gods…the sky’s the limit).

I love quirky towns with spooky stories, and,
thanks to my books, I get to “live” in one year-around. In real life
I live in a Minneapolis suburb (which is sadly lacking in ghosts) with my
family.

Interview with Ani Gonzalez

Why
did you write this book?

I saw a haunted house listing in HGTV’s House
Hunters (I love that show!). The poor owners were having a really hard time
selling it. That gave me the idea for my protagonist, Elizabeth Hunt, a real
estate agent living in Banshee Creek, The Most Haunted Town in America. Poor
Elizabeth doesn’t just have one haunted house to sell. She has dozens.

The town is, as you might expect, extremely
eccentric with a haunted pizzeria, a crazy group of paranormal investigators,
and plenty of quirky characters. Those elements made writing this book a lot of
fun. I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

What
is your favorite genre to read?

My favorite genres are Paranormal Romance, Small
Town Romance and Romantic Comedy. I have elements of all three in my books.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not
including your own)? Nyx, the Valkyrie from Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark
series. She is hilarious. I also love Betsy Taylor from MaryJanice Davidson’s
Undead series.

What
are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?

I’m writing book 4 in the Banshee Creek series,
My Ghostly Valentine, it will come out in February. Valentine’s Day comes to
Banshee Creek, will the haunted town residents be able to deal with pink hearts
and pretty flowers? You’ll find out in 2016.

Please
tell us about your latest book.

B-movie actress turned real estate agent Elizabeth Hunt
should have it made. The real estate market is thriving and she had a fabulous
house to sell. Too bad the house is in Banshee Creek, a tiny Virginia hamlet
that has been recently crowned as the “Most Haunted Town in America.”
But, with the help of the Banshee Creek Historical Preservation Committee,
Elizabeth hopes to put the ghost stories to rest. Her hometown will again be
known for its vintage homes, its heirloom apple orchards, and its historical,
not phantasmagorical, attributes, and she won’t let anyone, even her long-time
crush, Gabe Franco, stand in her way.

Gabe has a big problem. His new marketing campaign for
Banshee Creek Cidery is based on one thing, ghosts, but the Historical
Preservation Committee nutcases are trying to erase the town’s spookier
traditions. He has to stop them before they render his investment worthless. Unfortunately,
the leader of the anti-ghost crusade is all-too-tempting Elizabeth, his best friend’s
sister and the one woman who is strictly off limits. But when Elizabeth rallies
the townsfolk against him, Gabe wonders if he’ll lose his business…or his
heart.
