I’m a fan of the funny and lighthearted paranormal writer Mindy Klasky and  I also happen to know that she’s a gracious and generous lady. One of her most recent acts of holiday generosity is to offer a free short story to her readers.

A few weeks ago, I reviewed Mindy’s HOW NOT TO MAKE A WISH, and if you enjoyed that, you’ll love this new story called WISHFUL THINKING.

I had the pleasure of serving as a bridesmaid for one of my best friends. She had her wedding in New Orleans, and what a blast it was. I’ve never been to the city before, and I was astonished by the small things. I loved the creepy Spanish Moss hanging from the trees. I loved the above-ground cemeteries. I loved the food, and the fun, and the freaky costumes on Bourbon Street on Halloween Night.

I can see why New Orleans is the setting for so many works of speculative and paranormal fiction. It’s so atmospheric that I’m thinking about using it in one of my future books.

Okay, so sue me. I just don’t ever get sick of people praising my work! Coffee Time Romance just gave me a 4 Cup Review and I am tickled. The reviewer said in part…

Will love be able to heal the heart of a hardened man?

This is a very interesting story. I adore mythology so this book spoke to my heart. The author takes the old legends and merges them with modern times. Creative and fun, yet heart touching, this romantic tale keeps the reader going until the very end. As a daughter of a Vietnam veteran dealing with PTSD, I felt Nick’s pain to the very core of my being. I suggest picking up this story. There is never a dull moment.
