Ghostly Mistakes<\/a> Lizzy planned to make this mission short and sweet, but thanks to her client, Carl Taylor’s inability to provide details, it looks as if she was in for an extended adventure. A dangerous farmer with buried secrets, and the zealous accusations of a lady’s church group keep her on her toes. If all this isn’t enough to complicate her task, her growing attraction to the highway patrolman who caught her speeding, adds spice to the brew. If she doesn’t solve the puzzle left in her hands, she could find herself stuck with Carl for life. Oh, did I mention he isn’t a paying customer? Well, being a ghost does limit your financial abilities.<\/p>\n Tell us a little about your story.<\/span> What is it you relate to most with your heroine or hero? What do you like about them most?<\/span> Jacob is the tall dark handsome stranger I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to meet other than in my dreams. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure we all have a few of them lurking in our subconscious minds.<\/p>\n How did you get started in writing?<\/span> What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your schedule like, and what do you enjoy doing in your time off?<\/span> Where can readers find out more about your stories?<\/span> Sneak peek into Ghostly Mistakes:<\/span> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nothing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6there\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6nothing there!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She repeated the words, not to convince herself, but to keep her mind occupied until she was safe behind glass and<\/p>\n steel. There was something there, all right. If she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get into her car now, that something would have her for a quick snack. She pressed her remote as she neared the car; blinking headlights reassured her the doors were unlocked. She slammed the car door closed just seconds ahead of the presence bearing down on her and slid towards the center of the car, jerking as a malevolent ghost crashed into the door.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That was much too close!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Realizing they were squeezed shut, she opened her eyes and made an attempt to slow her breathing before she hyperventilated. The presence outside the car was furious and pushing hard against the metal of the door.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sliding home on your ass again, I see.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The amused southern drawl drew a startled yelp from Lizzy before she could stop it.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Damnation, Carl! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do that to me again!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Scooting back into the driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seat and jamming the key into the ignition, she peeled out of the cemetery, leaving a dust cloud boiling behind her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And why are you here? I told you to keep out of my way!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aw, Lizzy baby, is that any way to treat your back-up?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His smooth southern drawl raised her hackles instead of calming her down as he probably intended.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Carl, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not your baby and you are most definitely not my back-up! I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m only in this mess because you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t keep your promises!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Growling in frustration, she risked a look in the rear view mirror at her passenger. Oh, man, he was just as hard to look at as the last time she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d seen him.<\/p>\n Driving faster than was safe on a gravel road, Lizzy willed her pounding heart to settle down.<\/p>\n Gravel turned to concrete a mile from the cemetery as she sped back to the highway, only slowing down enough to make the turn without rolling the car. She headed towards Indianola, Mississippi, the closest decent sized city near Belzoni on her map. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d reserved a room at a Day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Inn once she arrived in Belzoni, before going to the first cemetery. It was only a thirty-minute drive between the two towns and she preferred larger rather than smaller, rationalizing she stood a better chance at locating a decent place to eat. Lizzy finally slowed down to just over the speed limit once she was in sight of the Producers Feed Mill lights that signaled the even smaller community of Isola. Taking a deep breath, Lizzy glared at her passenger using the rear view mirror.<\/p>\n Two weeks ago, she was living a fairly normal life in Jackson, Mississippi, managing a small emergency medical clinic. Yes, she had the odd deadbeat to deal with, but nothing dramatic or dangerous. She liked it that way\u00e2\u20ac\u201dboring. Instead, here she was sneaking around in the middle of the night in backwoods Belzoni, Mississippi, an angry spirit on her tail and the meddlesome ghost who started the whole fiasco in her back seat. Lizzy felt like she was jinxed when it came to men and considering her track record, most people would probably agree. Gripping the steering wheel, she fumed over the situation. It never failed\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhen she found herself metaphysically bound to a ghost it turned out to be a whopper of an adventure. Oh, for a simple haunting or displaced body.<\/p>\n Staring into the rear view mirror at her latest male attachment, Lizzie planned to look for a new career as soon as she managed to rid herself of Carl.<\/p>\n Something where there would be less chance of hitchhiking ghosts. She could manage a dry cleaners or maybe a bookstore. She loved to read. Anything that paid the bills would do, if it would keep her chances of hooking up with dead dudes to the bare minimum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have the pleasure of welcoming Mary Alice Pritchard to my blog today… Price: $6.00Genre: Paranormal RomanceLength: 232 pages Ghostly MistakesMary Alice Pritchard Lizzy planned to make this mission short and sweet, but thanks to her client, Carl Taylor’s inability … Continue reading

Ghostly Mistakes is a paranormal romantic suspense with elements of comedy. Yes, it has it all. Lizzy is a channel for spirits. Once one of them attaches to her, she can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get rid of them until she helps them resolve their unfinished business. Jacob is a highway patrolman who stops her from speeding and then can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get her out of his head. They are thrown together to solve more than a pesky ghost problem. There is something going on in the small town of Belzoni that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t include Lizzy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ghostly hitchhiker.<\/p>\n
Lizzy is all the things I would like to be in a woman, spunky, witty, and willing to take chances. I tend to ask a dozen questions before I leap.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve written short stories off and on all my life. I used them as an escape from the world around me. I officially began writing about four years ago. I went to a Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention and fell in love with writing by talking with so many of the talented authors there.<\/p>\n
I work full time so I write whenever I can. Mostly it is on the weekends as it is about the only free time I have. As for my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153off\u00e2\u20ac\u009d time. I write, read and watch my feline muses who entertain me. Next to writing, reading is my one true love.<\/p>\n
They can go to either www.thewildrosepress.com or to www.thedarkcastlelords.com for my short stories. My website is www.maryalicepritchard.com Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget to check out my blog where the felines like to hang out.<\/p>\n
