About the author
Jaimie Hope
34 books21 followers"I was born November 3, 1976 in New York. Growing up one of my favorite time of the day was story time.
Even at an early age, I became wrapped up in whatever story was being read. At the time, I just wanted to be part of the story.
It wasn't until high school that I decided I wanted to be a writer. This is when my ideas for the Adventures of Baby Jaimie started forming.
I was on the newspaper staff for two years in high school and really enjoyed it. We didn't have assigned stories, but we were able to do investigative reporting if we chose to. I was usually more into the freelance style of writing about whatever happened to be on my mind at the time.
In my senior year, I took a creative writing course where I got to explore the depths of my creativity.
After graduation in 1995, I put writing aside for a while. I went to college and did what most people try to do, "try to find myself". I got my Associates degree in 1999.
In 2002, I moved to Florida. I did quite a lot while I was there. I was an active volunteer in the local historical society. I also did volunteer work at the local library.
During this time, I also sang on a few demos at the local studio, tried my hand at songwriting and ran a book club.
It wasn't until 2005, when I picked up The Adventures of Baby Jaimie and started working in earnest to get it done. I finished the text of my manuscript within a month. I submitted it to a handful of publishers, only to be rejected.
Again, I shelved The Adventures of Baby Jaimie, temporarily, when I moved back to New York in the spring 2006 that I even thought about picking it up again. I had lunch with a friend one day in the summer of 2006 who told me about a friend of hers who was also an author. She put me in contact with him, and he gave me advice on how to go about making my dreams of becoming a published author come true.
In November of 2006, AuthorHouse released The Adventures of Baby Jaimie.
After the release, I got busy trying to promote it, and as they say, life happened. I began to try my hand at writing a novel. This proved to be a slow process as well, but not as slow as my first book.
In July of 2008, PublishAmerica released my first short novel, Who Says You Can't Go Home.
You may be asking yourself what's next. Only time will tell."

So, SO many things wrong here. It just leaves me depressed. Quite like the ending of this (thankfully) very short read. It leaves you feeling as though a dark cloud has descended on you while you’re sitting there thinking “where in Pete’s name did the last hour of my life just go?” No, no, I don’t much like writing one-star reviews (I’m as stingy with my one-star ratings as I am with my five-star ratings) and I try not to hurt the author’s feelings…heaven knows I try, but this? This isn’t even mediocre. This is just dull, lifeless, clichéd, unexciting, boring, same-old, same-old nonsense disguised as an attempt at writing a deeply moving *gag* story. Come on, people! Seriously? Thank goodness no-one recommended this to me (and looking at the fact that this has been published in October 2011 and there’s only one other review for it, which probably means no-one else have been unfortunate enough to read this), because I would’ve hunted that person down and forced him/her to read this over and over and over again until…well, let me not dwell on that. My apologies if the author’s feelings are hurt by my review, but now you have a good idea of how much my eyes and head hurt after reading this. The main character is selfish, whiny, ungrateful, childish,, shallow and just plain irritating. Her lover died like THREE years ago and NOW she’s trying to contact him via a psychic and an Ouija board, and guess what? No, maybe I’ll let you read it yourself and you can come back and…oh gosh, I don’t even want to think of the consequences. You know, rather give this a miss. There’s no build-up, no character development – heck, there isn’t even any plot development, and you will laugh at how friggin’ predictable it is. Yet, I kept hoping it would get better towards the end or there will be a twist of some sort, but no. There’s an hour in my life I’ll never get back. OK, if the author is ten-years old, my sincerest apologies. In that case, you did a swell job. But otherwise folks, read at own risk.

When You Come Back to Me Again is the second installment of a trilogy in which we follow Sara on a trip to Salem with her sister and her sister’s friends. While in Salem, Sara is desperate to make a connection with a lost love. Through her grief, Sara seeks unconventional means to reach the ghost of her high school sweetheart.
I have rated When You Come Back to Me Again two stars ( **). The plot lacks background details, character development, and the intrigue which usually captivates and keeps me reading. For those who are looking for a paranormal romance, I must warn the paranormal elements to this story are the typical tarot card reading, Ouija boards, and ghosts. Nothing new or creative occurs in this story. While I found the plot lacking, I believe the story has potential if the author should choose to develop it more. It is also a quick read for someone who desires a light and thoughtless read.
I personally would file this under the genre general fiction .
