Darke Passion release day!!

They’re here! The Darke sisters have arrived.

It’s finally the release day for Darke Passion, Darke Paranormal Investigations 1, and I’m thrilled to see this book out there in the world. Over the last few months, I’ve shared some of the inspiration behind this story, and I hope it has piqued your interest.

If you have read an advance copy, please consider posting an honest review wherever you normally would. Reviews on Amazon, Bookbub and Goodreads are definitely appreciated! Thank you.

Ghosts can’ t hurt the living? The Darke sisters know otherwise.

Edwina Darke is one of a trio of ghost-hunting sisters who rid clients of their unwanted supernatural visitors. A badass by nature, Edwina doesn’ t run from haunted houses— she runs into them. Yet no matter how many “ ghosts” she debunks, she remains troubled by a demon from her own past.

Simon Teal is the co-owner of a historic B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, a town famous for its connection to the 1812 War. Simon doesn’ t believe in the spirit world, but something is chasing his customers away, so he reluctantly allows the Darke sisters to investigate.

As the team uncovers the star-crossed love behind the B&B haunting, Edwina and Simon’ s attraction flares. It’ s the last thing either of them needs. The dedicated Edwina refuses to lose herself in another relationship, and Simon is still reeling from a terrible betrayal.

When a darker presence reveals itself, triggering their protective instincts, Edwina and Simon succumb to temptation. But the evil entity has taken an interest in them, and if they don’ t solve the mystery, someone new could end up going “ into the light.”

And it could be one of them.

Did I see the ghost of Lady Sophia?

Friends, I recently had the opportunity to stay the night at beautiful Brockamour Manor in historic Niagara-on-the-Lake! As you may have already read, the intriguing history behind this gorgeous property was the inspiration behind my setting in Darke Passion, Darke Paranormal Investigations 1.

General Isaac Brock himself has a connection to the home, and a portrait of the handsome officer hangs in the billiards room. It is said that the Lady Sophia Shaw, a resident of the home, was secretly engaged to General Brock during the War of 1812. Apparently, he stopped here to visit with Sophia one last time before riding off to the Battle of Queenston Heights, a battle that claimed his life.
Sophia mourned him for the rest of her life.

My husband and I were really excited to stay in the Lady Sophia room at Brockamour, a place named for this star-crossed romance. Local ghost tour operators will talk about “Sobbing Sophia,” the mournful wraith of Brock’s lost love. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous to sleep there. However, I can honestly say the atmosphere is a peaceful one, and if Lady Sophia does linger there, I don’t think she’s sad anymore. I would like to believe she and the charismatic officer finally met again in the hereafter, and that they are no longer tied to her former home.
