One line blurb:
Jocelyn
Sinclair can see and talk to the dead, but can she help the nephew of the
handsome stranger who shows up at her door?
Full
synopsis:
Jocelyn Sinclair had known since she was a
small girl that she was different. Many called it a gift but she often wondered
if it was a curse. Talking to and seeing the dead came at a heavy price. It
made it nearly impossible to live a normal life. It did allow her to help
people both alive and dead and for that she was thankful.
When Ethan knocks on her door on a dark, rainy
night, she knows she has to help him. He is as desperate as he is handsome. The
spirit that haunts his nephew is stronger than Jocelyn has ever faced before.
Can she do it?

Tammy
Andresen (T.J. Burton) lives with her husband and three children just outside
of Boston, Massachusetts. She grew up on the Seacoast of Maine, where she spent
countless days dreaming up stories in blueberry fields and among the scrub
pines that line the coast. Her mother loved to spin a yarn and Tammy filled
many hours listening to her mother retell the classics. It was inevitable that
at the age of 18, she headed off to Simmons College, where she studied English
literature and education. She never left Massachusetts but some of her heart
still resides in Maine and her family visits often.

Taylor Dawn (formerly writing
as C.D. Taylor) began writing as an item to check off her bucket list. She
resides in the southernmost part of Illinois, right on the mighty Mississippi
river. She enjoys the quiet country life with her husband, son and the many
farm animals that make up the rest of the family. Deciding that farm life was
just a little too mundane, Taylor began writing roamcne and fantasy to liven
things up, so far so good. Before starting her writing career, Taylor entered
the field of cosmetology. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found
sitting around a table making people laugh. She has always wanted to be a
standup comic. She loves pulling practical jokes, dresses up in a costume every
Halloween and believes that dancing is the key to a happy life (even if you
aren't a good dancer). She believes that life shouldn't be taken too seriously,
we will never get out alive anyway. More than anything, she is a kid at heart,
she doesn't believe in bedtimes, eating everything on her plate, or having ice
cream only for dessert. Her favorite quote is by Dr. Seuss..."Why fit in,
when you were born to stand out."
