Wicked Intentions – Romance Lives Forever

When it comes to fiction writing, almost anything goes. That
is why I love writing paranormal stories. The author can go completely over the
edge and make something unbelievable seem believable. When it comes to ghost
stories, I get a lot of my inspiration from real life experiences. Not
necessarily my own either. I watch television programs that partake of the
supernatural and paranormal flare. Programs from ordinary people who claim they
experienced either an afterlife experience, or a haunting.

Some of my stories from my upcoming release “Wicked
Intentions” are based on actual hauntings. Some stories I read about in
the newspaper, and others I watched on true life experience programs.

Blurbs for “Wicked Intentions”

Some of the stories from my paranormal anthology,
“Wicked Intentions” are based on actual hauntings. In The Legend of
Lake Manor, I placed my young psychic, Cassandra Lopez, in a haunted mansion I
fashioned on my knowledge of a three-story mansion in my hometown and
information from television about a restaurant/bar in Ohio, supposedly ruled by demons so violent
that the local police are constantly closing it down.

A television documentary about a young mother plagued by
ghost sightings since childhood, inspired The Haunting of Barb Marie and her
gift/curse.

And The Apartment, in which my newlyweds, Bill and Gayle,
are plagued by sightings of evil ghosts that threaten their marriage and theirs
lives, originated from a real apartment haunted by the ghosts of two homosexual
lovers who died violently. The legend says no tenant is able to stay there
until the spirits are chased off by a paranormal investigation team.

On the Discovery Channel, I got the idea for Summer Wind. I
learned of the colonial explorer Jonathon Carver who lived during the 1700s and
whose ghost is believed to be haunting the Summerwind estate, built in the
early 20th century. Carver’s ghost is, supposedly, searching the house’s
foundations for deeds to a vast tract of land (10,000 square miles) given to
him by Sioux Indian chiefs as a reward for the peace treaty he created between
two warring tribes. In my Summer Wind, 29 year-old Ginger is mysteriously drawn
to the old mansion, and like the many owners of the real mansion, the haunting
had a negative and profound effect on Ginger and her family.

Another investigative program concerned one sister’s psychic
premonitions about her twin’s murder. This led to my story, Blood Ties, and my
heroine, Audra Roper’s dark, disturbing visions of her sister’s disappearance
and the roller coaster of risks, heartbreak, and intrigue that followed.

Dark Visions came from reading a newspaper story while
sitting in a diner. A young woman began having visions of her father’s
disappearance that was actually his murder from years earlier. So, my Carrie
Reynolds starts having nightmares on her twenty-sixth birthday and believes
these ‘dark visions’ can solve the twenty year disappearance of her father.

I set my murder mystery, The Truth Behind the Lies, on Norfolk Island after following a three year long murder
investigation on that island from 2003. In my story, Federal Police Inspector
Ian Christian faces attacks, more murders and ghostly occurrences, and the
killer is closer than anyone realizes.

So, the next time you get Writer’s Block, or need a new
idea, try switching on the television, open a newspaper, delve into history or
simply look and listen. You will find something to stimulate your muse.
