Today, I'm super excited to have NELL DIXON, author of Lights, Camera, Poltergeist on my blog! Nell is a fellow Astraea Press author and writes 'Romance with Heart'. I used to love 'Ghosthunters' (until 30+ year old me started having nightmares about it and had to stop watching... sigh), so this book seems right up my alley :)
HERE's NELL:
Hi, and many thanks for inviting me to talk about Lights, Camera, Poltergeist! My latest release from Astraea Press.
This story is set in a crumbling Scottish Manor House, ancestral home of Sir Giles, Laird of Fingelly. The Ghost UK TV team are there on Valentine’s Eve to make a live show about the poltergeist who is alleged to haunt the Manor.
When I was younger I toured many of the fortified Manor Houses that are dotted along the Scottish borders. Many of them are quite spooky places and ideal as a setting for a story full of ghosts, romance and mystery!
Things don’t just go bump in the night, sometimes they throw tea cups! As the presenter for Ghost UK, the leading TV show investigating paranormal activity, Fae thought she’d seen it all. Until a Valentine’s Eve live show from Scotland’s Fingelly Manor upsets both her preconceptions and her love life.
Fae snuggled down deeper into the chunky knitted roll neck of her sweater and wished she could shake off the eerie sensations. She puffed out a sigh and watched her breath condense in the air before her face. It wasn’t only the room that was chilly. The relationship between herself and John had taken on a distinctly frosty tinge lately too. She strolled across the room to the huge diamond leaded window that would have filled the room with light if it hadn’t been shrouded in dust and some dark red velvet drapes that had seen better days. Out in the corridor the electricians and tech staff were hammering and cursing the ancient electrical wiring. The afternoon light had already started to fade and fingers of frost were beginning to form at the corners of the window. A flicker of movement near the trees on the far side of the lawn caught her attention and she leaned forward, almost bumping her nose against the glass in her quest to see what it was. Whatever or whoever she thought she’d seen had vanished and she relaxed back on her heels. Working as a presenter on Ghost UK had made her jumpy. Every dark corner now held the possibility of something spooky. In such a deserted spot it was unlikely that anyone would be outside in the grounds, especially in this freezing weather. “Fae, darling, there you are!” She turned around to see her producer, Tim, sweeping towards her. She pasted a fake smile on her lips when she saw he was accompanied by the owner of the house, Giles McGinty, Laird of Fingelly. She’d already met Giles when she’d arrived and her impressions hadn’t been favourable. “Giles has invited us all to dinner tonight before we start filming. Isn’t that marvellous?” Tim raised his eyebrows at her. “That’s very kind.” Fae was quick enough to pick up the signal. Giles smiled at her, his gaze lingering just a fraction of a second too long on her bust before raising his gaze to her face. “The pleasure is all mine. I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better before the filming.” She suppressed a shudder as his dark eyes locked on her face. “John and I will look forward to it.”
