How to Date Dead Guys (Witch's Handbook Series)

College sophomore Emma Roberts remembers her mother's sage advice: "don't sleep around, don't burp in public, and don't tell anyone you see ghosts." But when charming Mike Carlson drowns in the campus river under her watch, Emma's sheltered life shatters. Blamed for Mike's death and haunted by nightmares, Emma turns to witchcraft and a mysterious Book of Shadows to bring him back. Under a Blood Moon, she lights candles, draws a pentacle on the campus bridge, and casts a spell. The invoked river rages up against her, but she escapes its fury. As she stumbles back to the dorm, a stranger drags himself from the water and follows her home. And he isn't the only one. Instead of raising Mike, Emma assists the others she stole back from the dead - a pre-med student who jumped off the bridge, a desperate victim determined to solve his own murder, and a frat boy Emma can't stand...at first. More comfortable with the dead than the living, Emma delves deeper into the seductive Book of Shadows. Her powers grow, but witchcraft may not be enough to protect her against the vengeful river and the killers that feed it their victims.

About the Author

Growing up an only child, I learned to entertain myself.  During summer vacations, my greatest form of exercise consisted of turning the pages of a book.  Now I'm all grown up, and full of stories half-written in my head.  I have to write them down so I can find out what happens next.When I'm not living in my own created fantasy world, I'm a small animal veterinarian, marathon pacer, avid reader, struggling cook, piano player, and a mother. My writing career began via monthly Pet Vet columns for the local Post Bulletin newspaper. Then I published non-fiction articles in RunMinnesota, Rochester Women magazine, the DVM360 journal, and The Wagazine.  Book ideas bubble up from the most unexpected places:  a sign post, a newspaper article, a late night radio program while driving in my car along a dark road. I've got more stories in my head than down on paper.Just give me time...
