Description:
Collage sophomore Emma Roberts remembers her mothers 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 Emma's watch, Emma's sheltered life shatters.
Blamed for Mikes 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 candies, she 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 her dorm, a stranger drags himself from the water and follows her home. And he isn't the only one.
Instead of rising 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 might not be enough to protect her from the vengeful river and the killers that feed it their victims
Inspired by the controversial Smiley Face Murders, HOW TO DATE DEAD GUYS will ignite the secret powers hidden deep within each of us.
About the author
My to-do list dictates that I try to cram 48 hours of living into a day instead of the usual 24. I've chosen a life filled with animals. I train for marathons with my dog, then go to work as a small animal veterinarian, and finish the day tripping over my pets as I attempt to convince my two unruly children that. YES it REALLY is time for bed. But I can't wait until the house is quiet to write; I have to steal moment throughout the day. Ten minutes here, a half an hour there, I live in my imagination.
Like all busy american mothers, I multi-task. I work out plot holes during runs. Instead of meditating I type madly during yoga stretches. I find inspiration in everyday things: a beautiful smile, a heartbreaking song, or a newspaper article on a political theory. For example, a long drive in the dark listening to an NPR program on the Smiley Face Murders theory made me ask so many questions that I wrote How To Date Dead Guys to answer them to my satisfaction.
I'd love to have more time to write{and run,read and sleep} but until I find Hermione Granger's time turner, I will juggle life with half written stories in my head. Main characters and plot lines interwine in my cranium, and i need to let my writing weave the tales on paper so I can find out what happens next.
Thank you for sharing my book cover reveal!
