What I’m Writing
Nora “Fox” Sinclair is only back in Hawthorne, her famously haunted hometown, for a few weeks. At least, that’s what she tells herself and anyone who will listen. But when she stumbles across the body of her unpleasant next-door neighbor, it seems that her stay might be lengthened indefinitely.
When rumors begin to fly that Miss Tillie was murdered by a ghost, Fox finds that small town life is not as dull and predictable as she remembered, especially when she comes face to face with Liam O’Connell, the handsome Irishman who broke her heart once and just might be willing to do it again.

6 Places to Find Character Names (that aren’t name your baby books)
A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but when it comes to your characters, names matter. A lot. Would Harry Potter be the same character if he’d been named Archibald Beauregard III? I think not. So where can you look to find just the right names? Well, there’s always the old standby—the…

13 Southern Superstitions
Superstition is so ingrained in our culture—in most cultures, in fact—that we may not even notice that it’s there. But those of us who live in the South know that superstition is alive and well, and we aren’t ashamed to admit it. In fact, surveys have shown the South to be the most superstitious region of the United States, with well over 40% of the population admitting to belief in some superstitions.
