Lights drew her attention to the opposite wing of the mill, where a man stood staring at her window. At her. Breath caught in her lungs as she froze.
But only for a brief moment until she realized it wasn’t a man, at least not a living one. Her breath escaped on a whoosh of relief. Intuition whispered the man was the spirit who’d watched her last night.
The one from her dream.
Shadows clung to his body, ghostly fingers releasing as he stepped into the dim slash of moonlight. Lights flickered from behind him, like the dying gasps of sputtering candles. Dressed in a white shirt with an old-fashioned high collar, sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, and dark trousers, he reminded her of a working man in a World War I photograph. As if he had removed his coat and tie and rolled up his sleeves to get to work.
Except the men in those photos didn’t sport the wide-eyed, happy look of this man. Ghost. Whatever. Yeah, he wasn’t the only one surprised. She’d sworn never to see a ghost again, yet there stood a ghost, captured by her gaze. The man was hot, in an old-fashioned way. At least he didn’t sport a handle-bar mustache.
He gestured to her, his hand beckoning in a “come here” motion.
She squeezed the bridge of her nose. Was she actually thinking of heading his way? Judging by the way her feet pointed toward the door, she’d already decided. Dammit. She might not want to see a ghost or speak to a spirit, but past experience told her if she ignored them, they ramped up the annoying factor.

THE SUPER DUPER QUESTION FOR TODAY
ANGI: I heard you were asked to write THE SHADOWHEART CURSE so it could be made into a movie. You can you tell us a little about it?
KARILYN: Hi Angi! I'd love to tell you all about it! Charlie Band is a well known horror director who approached my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, with an idea he had to stream ten movies based on ten books. He had ideas for books/movies based on movies/series he had made that were popular. He asked ten different authors to write books for his ideas and then those books would be made into movies. I was chosen as one of those authors. You can sign up to livestream the making of the movies at https://deadlyten.com. Despite the rest of the movies being horror, mine is a ghostly romance between a medium and a ghost. I promise, no blood and gore. J I'm looking forward to watching The Shadowheart Curse be turned into a movie! They are supposed to start filming it in either September or October. All ten movies will released on February 14th, 2020.
I've got to admit, I really enjoyed writing someone else's idea. I'm a ghost writer (get it? Okay, bad pun)! This was a fun experience for me and I'd do it again if asked.
