Today is the Super Book Blast for Wanted: One Ghost, a Paranormal Ghost Romance by Loni Lynne just recently released. As a Book Blast, there will not be an interview or blog post, but I will have the Blurb, an excerpt and author bio. I will also post the complete listing of blogs participating in this tour so that you can increase your chances for winning Loni's prize of a $50 Amazon or B & N gift card to one randomly chosen commenter.
Loni Lynne is a stay at home
mom, domestic goddess, U.S. Navy Veteran and
lover of all things
vintage/shabby-chic/Victorian and antique. From china cups
and tea sets to lace doilies
crocheted by hand (her grandmother made the best)
she believes a touch of
femininity never goes out of style.
Growing up all over the
country she's been blessed with experiencing a good
deal of culture and
lifestyles. Much like her personality, she has eclectic
tastes in what she likes to
read and write. There is no 'one' genre in which
she settles for.
God and fate have been big
influences in her life. Both have taken her to
places she never thought
she'd be, both in the physical sense and in the
spiritual. She wrote brief
stories and snippets of life as it happened to her
in her youth, and encouraged
by her teachers, continued to write. Blessed with
a loving supportive family
growing up, she was able to explore her options
which at times have been put
into use in her stories. The Navy--and fate,
afforded her the opportunity
to meet her Army, "Annapolis-native" husband and
team up with him to parent
two beautiful daughters.
Years later, her husband
gave her the best birthday present ever--a laptop, a
membership to Romance
Writers of America and a goal to complete a
manuscript for submission by
her next birthday. She did it. A few years later
she was blessed with one of
those novels, Wanted: One Ghost, as her
debut novel.

Blurb for Wanted: One Ghost
Stuck in ghostly
limbo for 238 years, James Addison can't move on to an afterlife. After being falsely accused of treason and
executed, fate's cursed him to remain an earth-bound specter until he meets a
historian sent to research his past.
Distrustful of
fate, Dr. April Branford wants to be taken seriously, but her unique ability to
divine history by touching objects seriously compromises her credibility. Her
latest assignment? James Addison, a legendary
colonial ladies' man with a shadowy past.
Without much to go on, she doesn't hold out much hope to discover the
man behind the legend until the day she accidentally touches him and brings him
back to life.
With the help of
family and ghosts from James’s past, they unravel the truth. But after falling
in love and with time running out, it’s hard for April to believe in fate and a
future where forever is now.
Excerpt from Wanted: One Ghost
James
Addison stopped in his tracks and turned around, sensing he wasn’t alone. A
young woman dressed in leggings and woolens, her small, flat hat cocked
jauntily over her eyes stood there, smiling at him.
Could
she see him or was she looking at something behind him?
No.
Impossible! No one could see him.
She
examined the damn tree.
“Did
you ever wonder what trees would tell us if they could talk?” She glanced
towards him again. “Do you think James Addison hanged from these branches?”
James
looked to the right of him, to the left. No one was there. Who was she talking
to, the blasted tree?
“I
wonder why he was never given a trial. Wasn’t the Treason Act of 1695 enacted
at the time? James Addison should have been provided a counsel and jury for his
crimes.” She turned towards him again. “Was he really executed for treason?”
“Was
he really executed for treason?” James said, mimicking her feminine voice with
his own British brogue. He walked toward the odd girl, wanting to shout in her
face at the idiocy of her questioning the bloody tree. Didn’t she know how
foolish she looked? “No, he wasn’t executed for treason. He was beaten to a
bloody pulp and murdered!”
With
eyes gone wide, the girl stared up at him.
“Murdered?”
she asked back. “Are you sure?”
James
stiffened. Dear God in heaven! Was she actually talking to him? He looked
behind him to see if she might be addressing someone else. No one was there.
Gathering his wits, he studied her closely. Could this girl actually hear him,
see him?
I do love a good ghost story, especially when there is a romance involved.

This sounds like a really good mix of paranormal and mystery - like the idea of solving an old mystery and then being caught between the realities of falling in love with someone who isn't from our time. Thanks for the spotlight, the excerpt and the giveaway.
