However between yourself and LG, who I have to admit is an unknown author to me, you have convinced me to give this one a try.<br /><br />I fact, I have just spent an enjoyable few minutes (Ooops! more like 15!), reading though LG's web pages and now all the rest of her books are on my list too!<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendation,<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-49886538792112474112012-09-21T17:19:40.860+02:002012-09-21T17:19:40.860+02:00Ingmarie@ I am delighted you enjoy my reviews and ...Ingmarie@ I am delighted you enjoy my reviews and that you discover some new authors to read in English.

Do you kno...Thanks everyone for your interest. :-)<br /><br />Do you know, <i>I'm</i> not a fan of paranormal either, but publishers were rejecting my literary-ish women's fiction, so I thought I'd try something different, something really commercial. So I read a few vampire novels for research and was occasionally nauseated (I was a vegetarian for many years) and often bored. (I just can't take grumpy-but-gorgeous alpha males seriously.)<br /><br />So I decided it had to be a ghost story with a very different sort of hero. Heartbroken and heart<i>breaking</i>. <br /><br />I actually ended up writing a paranormal for people who don't like paranormals! Or to put it another way, I think what I wrote was a literary(ish) paranormal, which might be why so many sceptical readers have been pleasantly surprised.Linda Gillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747108591927491742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-8033249714885025622012-09-18T17:33:54.100+02:002012-09-18T17:33:54.100+02:00Fiction-books@ Thanks, I hope you do give LG's...Fiction-books@ Thanks, I hope you do give LG's writing a go as I would be very interested in your thoughts Yvonne.

I'm ...Thanks, Linda, for this wonderful review. I'm so pleased you weren't disappointed. <br /><br />You make a very good point about ghosts and ghost-like characters being a theme in most (all?) of my books. Looking back over the 6 novels, I can see that a paranormal novel wasn't that much of a departure for me. It was an experiment and not one I intended to repeat, but GLASS GUARDIAN has proved very popular, so I'm not sure what sort of book I'll tackle next. (But it's <i>much</i> easier writing about real men than ghosts!)Linda Gillardhttp://www.lindagillard.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-43345660571299872392012-09-15T05:07:58.246+02:002012-09-15T05:07:58.246+02:00Thanks for sharing about the book Lindy!
