Haunted by the Perfect Word
Author’s note: I originally published this Feb. 26, 2014 while I was writing The Cavanaugh House. I am now working on the third book in that series (yet to be named) and still find myself “haunted by the perfect word.” This blog popped up in a search and I still find it applicable – and fun. I did settle on the word “scritch”, and when Amy McFadden reads “scritch” on the audiobook version, it will sent chills up your spine. The Cavanaugh House is now available in most ebook retailers now, too. See the list at the end of the Read More

For the purposes of this blog post, I’m going to use the term “print edition” in lieu of “real book” because I deem my ebooks to be as “real” as the print edition. And I would like to throw into the discussion the audiobook format, too. Take Buried Secrets, for Read More
Two Perfect Ghost Stories for a Dark, October Evening
Jesse Graham is a ghost-empath. What does that mean? While some psychics and those who are highly perceptive can “see dead people,” others may sense a spirit who has passed over through smell, touch, or sound. Jesse, my protagonist in both The Cavanaugh House and Buried Secrets, senses the presence of a spirit through shared emotion. In The Cavanaugh House, Jesse first hears a sound that indicates Helen Cavanaugh’s presence in the house. The “scritch, scritch, scritch” sound is not readily definable. Initially, I used “scratch, scratch, scratch,” but “scratch” connotes something different for each reader. I wanted a sound Read More
