Kiss Me Hello – cover reveal
Coming Soon …
Kiss Me Hello Things have been tight since Sara Blakemore’s husband lost his job, but the young couple’s financial worries are over when Sara inherits Turtledove Hill, a vineyard on the northern California coast.
Just after she begins renovation on the old farmhouse, Sara narrowly escapes serious injury in a mysterious accident. According to local legend the vineyard is haunted by spirits who won’t tolerate outsiders, but when Sara discovers the journal of Turtledove Hill’s original owner, she’s led to a more concrete possibility: Someone haunted by the past wants the Blakemores to give up Turtledove Hill—and is willing to kill to make it happen.
Things get even more complicated when Sara finds herself falling for the man who wrote the journal. It’s not cheating if you’re in love with a ghost—is it?
Kiss Me Hello should be ready to publish just after Christmas – but bear in mind I never get these dates right!

Turtledove Hill’s Avatar
This is Thorsen House in Berkeley, CA, an “ultimate bungalow” designed by Greene and Greene. It’s the inspiration for Turtledove Hill, where most of the action takes place in my upcoming novel, Kiss Me Hello .
Turtledove Hill has a small third story and a widow’s walk with a view of the Pacific Ocean on the northern California coast. Aside from that, Thorsen House captures the gothic feel of Turtledove Hill.

To Me or Not to Me
In general, I don’t like novels written in first person. I think they make stories small and lead to heroines who are either boringly self-absorbed or irritatingly perfect.
I also think first person is a trap for authors. It seems easy to write – but it’s only easy to write badly.
The story I’m working on now is challenging my prejudice against first person. It’s crying out for the intimacy of I did this, I felt this, I needed this.
This is a ghost story and a love story, but the further into it I get, the more I realize it’s fundamentally the heroine’s story. Not the ghost’s. Not the lover’s.
She doesn’t really want to tell it herself. She’s not gregarious that way. But I’m the author, and I’m mean, and I think I’m going to make her do it anyway.
