All Things Are Possible in Paranormal Romance
I got the new edition of Entertainment
Weekly the other day. I had already
seen the cover scattered over the internet and Facebook, but I was still
anxious to see it for myself. This time,
the cover features The Vampire Diaries. How hot is that?
There was a time, before Stephenie Meyer and L.J. Smith,
when the idea of a popular series featuring vampires would be more camp than
mainstream. As a paranormal romance
writer, I still pinch myself at the idea that there is actually a market now
for all of those crazy stories floating around in my head!
So, while my stories will probably never reach the
popularity of Twilight or The Vampire Diaries, how great is it
that I have the chance to stand in the shadows of these novels?
It doesn’t matter if you love or hate Twilight, or if you think that humans and vampires should never mix
without destroying one another. If you
are a paranormal romance reader or writer, you owe a big thank you to these two
franchises.
I sit here now; editing book #2 of my Spiritus series, but next to me sits the copy of Entertainment Weekly to remind me that when it comes to paranormal romance, all
things are possible.
Spiritus (Book One)
Dana
Michelle Burnett spent most of her life writing short stories and sharing them
with family and friends. Over the years, her work was published in
numerous commercial and literary magazines including Just Labs,
Mindprints: A Literary Journal, Foliate Oak, and many more. Her
short story John Lennon and the Chicken Holocaust was include

Based on her own Cherokee heritage, the novel marked her return to the literary world after a four year hiatus. She followed that with the release of her first romance novel,Two Out of Three in the summer of 2011.
Spiritus is the first novel in her new paranormal romance series by the same name. The second book,Haunted, is expected in the spring of 2012.
A
love that refuses to die…
“As I watched him vanish into a soft mist that faded away, I knew that he was no ordinary spirit…I knew that he was a dangerous entity that could be in some corner of another realm planning his revenge, but I also knew that I was hopelessly in love with him.”
When Becca moves into her ancestral home in Corydon, Indiana, her life takes a puzzling and thrilling turn when she meets the ghost haunting the halls. As the seductive spirit lures her closer and closer, she learns about her own past and starts to understand that some mistakes are meant to last.
Becca McAllister has always been different from other girls her age. Never part of the "in crowd", Becca never really fit in anywhere. When her mother dies and her father moves them to the small town of Corydon, Indiana, Becca didn't expect things to change.
But things do change when Becca accidentally makes contact with a one hundred and sixty year old ghost, Alastor Sinclair, that haunts the halls of her new home.
To Becca, Alastor is a seductive spirit that seems to see straight into her soul. To Alastor, Becca is what he was waited a century for--A second chance.
But the closer they get, the more Becca realizes that this isn't the first time she and Alastor have known each other. Worse still, is she the one responsible for his death so long ago? And if so, did he come back for love or revenge?
